Certain Metal Lockers and Parts Thereof From the People's 
Republic of China: Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less 
Than Fair Value

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that imports 
of certain metal lockers and parts thereof (metal lockers) from the 
People's Republic of China (China) are being, or are likely to be, sold 
in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV). The period of 
investigation is January 1, 2020, through June 30, 2020.

DATES: Applicable July 7, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 11, 2021, Commerce published its Preliminary 
Determination of sales at LTFV of metal lockers from China.\1\ A 
summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the 
Preliminary Determination, as well as a full discussion of the issues 
raised by parties for this final determination, may be found in the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum.\2\

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case briefs and rebuttal briefs submitted 
by interested parties in this investigation are discussed in the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues raised by parties and 
responded to by Commerce in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is 
attached to this notice as Appendix II.

Verification

    Commerce was unable to conduct on-site verification of the 
information relied upon in making its final determination in this 
investigation. However, we took additional steps in lieu of an on-site 
verification to verify the information relied upon in making this final 
determination, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act).\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Commerce's Letters, ``Certain Metal Lockers and Parts 
Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Questionnaire in Lieu 
of Verification,'' dated April 6, 2021 and April 13, 2021; see also

Questionnaire Response,'' dated April 22, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes Since the Preliminary Determination

    Based on our analysis of the comments received and additional 
information obtained since our preliminary findings, we made certain 
changes to the margin calculations for Hangzhou Xline Machinery & 
Equipment Co., Ltd. (Hangzhou Xline). For a discussion of these 
changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Separate Rate Companies

    No party commented on our preliminary separate rate determinations 
with respect to the mandatory respondents and the non-individually 
examined companies; thus, we find no basis to reconsider our 
preliminary determinations with respect to separate rate status, and we 
have continued to grant these companies separate rates in this final 
determination.

China-Wide Entity Rate and the Use of Adverse Facts Available

    Commerce continues to find that the use of facts available is 
warranted in determining the rate of the China-wide entity, pursuant to 
sections 776(a)(1) and (a)(2)(A)-(C) of the Act. As discussed in the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum, Commerce finds that the use of adverse 
facts available (AFA) is warranted with respect to the China-wide 
entity because the China-wide entity failed to cooperate by not acting 
to the best of its ability to comply with our requests for information 
and, accordingly, we applied adverse inferences in selecting from the 
facts available, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.308(a).
    For the final determination, as AFA, we are assigning the China-
wide entity the highest calculated petition margin reported in the 
Initiation Notice, 322.25 percent.\6\ We corroborated, to the extent 
practicable, within the meaning of section 776(c) of the Act, the 
highest petition margin of 322.25 percent.\7\ See Issues and Decision 
Memorandum.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Combination Rates

    Consistent with the Preliminary Determination, Commerce calculated 
exporter/producer combination rates for the respondents that are 
eligible for a separate rate in this investigation. Policy Bulletin 
05.1 describes this practice.\8\

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose to interested parties the calculations and 
analysis performed in this final determination within five days of any 
public announcement, or, if there is no public announcement in the 
Federal Register, within five days of the date of the publication of 
this notice to parties in this proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.224(b).

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we intend to 
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to 
suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of metal lockers from 
China, as described in the appendix to this notice, which were entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after February 11, 
2021, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination of this 
investigation in the Federal Register, with the exception of entries of 
subject merchandise that were exported by Hangzhou Xline and produced 
by Hangzhou Jusheng Metal Products Co., Ltd. (Hangzhou Jusheng). With 
regard to such entries, because we have determined the weighted-average 
dumping margin to be zero for this producer/exporter combination, we 
will exclude merchandise exported by Hangzhou Xline and produced by 
Hangzhou Jusheng from the antidumping duty order, in the event an order 
is instituted, and we will discontinue the suspension of liquidation 
and will refund all cash deposits already collected for this producer/
exporter combination. Such exclusion will not be applicable to 
merchandise exported to the United States by any other producer/
exporter combinations or by third parties that sourced from the 
excluded producer/exporter combination.
    Furthermore, other than for entries exported by Hangzhou Xline and 
produced by Hangzhou Jusheng, pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of 
the Act, upon the publication of this notice, Commerce intends to 
instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the weighted-average 
amount by which the normal value exceeds U.S. price as follows: (1) The 
cash deposit rate for the exporter/producer combinations listed in the 
table above will be the rate identified in the table; (2) for all 
combinations of Chinese exporters/producers of subject merchandise that 
have not received their own separate rate above, the cash deposit rate 
will be the cash deposit rate established for the China-wide entity; 
and (3) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have 
not received their own separate rate above, the cash deposit rate will 
be the cash deposit rate applicable to the Chinese exporter/producer 
combination that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These suspension 
of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice.
    To determine the cash deposit rate, Commerce normally adjusts the 
estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the amount of domestic 
subsidy pass-through and export subsidies determined in a companion 
countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding when CVD provisional measures are 
in effect. Accordingly, where Commerce makes an affirmative 
determination for domestic subsidy pass-through or export subsidies, 
Commerce offsets the calculated estimated weighted-average dumping 
margin by the appropriate rates. Commerce continues to find that 
Zhejiang Xingyi Metal Products Co., Ltd./Xingyi Metalworking Technology 
(Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Xingyi), and all non-individually-
examined companies found eligible for a separate rate qualify for a 
double-remedy adjustment.\9\ Further, we have continued to adjust the 
cash deposit rates for Zhejiang Xingyi, all non-individually-examined 
separate rate companies, and the China-wide entity for export subsidies 
in the companion CVD investigation by the appropriate export subsidy 
rates as indicated in the above chart. However, suspension of 
liquidation according to provisional measures in the companion CVD case 
has been discontinued effective April 12, 2021; \10\ therefore, we are 
not instructing CBP to collect cash deposits based upon the adjusted 
estimated weighted-average dumping margin for those export subsidies 
and double remedy adjustment at this time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

International Trade Commission Notification

    In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the 
International Trade Commission (ITC) of the final affirmative 
determination of sales at LTFV. Because the final determination in this 
proceeding is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the 
Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the 
domestic industry in the United States

[[Page 35740]]

is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of 
imports of metal lockers from China no later than 45 days after our 
final determination. If the ITC determines that material injury or 
threat of material injury does not exist, the proceeding will be 
terminated, and all cash deposits will be refunded. If the ITC 
determines that material injury or threat of material injury does 
exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to 
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on all 
imports of the subject merchandise, entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the 
suspension of liquidation.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely notification of the 
return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial 
protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the 
regulations and the terms of an APO is a violation subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This determination is issued and published in accordance with 
sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(c).

    Dated: June 28, 2021.

Appendix I

Scope of the Investigation

    The scope of the investigation covers certain metal lockers, 
with or without doors, and parts thereof (metal lockers). The 
subject metal lockers are secure metal storage devices less than 27 
inches wide and less than 27 inches deep, whether floor standing, 
installed onto a base or wall-mounted. In a multiple locker assembly 
(whether a welded locker unit, otherwise assembled locker unit or 
knocked down unit or kit), the width measurement shall be based on 
the width of an individual locker not the overall unit dimensions. 
All measurements in this scope are based on actual measurements 
taken on the outside dimensions of the single-locker unit. The 
height is the vertical measurement from the bottom to the top of the 
unit. The width is the horizontal (side to side) measurement of the 
front of the unit, and the front of the unit is the face with the 
door or doors or the opening for internal access of the unit if 
configured without a door. The depth is the measurement from the 
front to the back of the unit. The subject certain metal lockers 
typically include the bodies (back, side, shelf, top and bottom 
panels), door frames with or without doors which can be integrated 
into the sides or made separately, and doors.
    The subject metal lockers typically are made of flat-rolled 
metal, metal mesh and/or expanded metal, which includes but is not 
limited to alloy or non-alloy steel (whether or not galvanized or 
otherwise metallically coated for corrosion resistance), stainless 
steel, or aluminum, but the doors may also include transparent 
polycarbonate, Plexiglas or similar transparent material or any 
combination thereof. Metal mesh refers to both wire mesh and 
expanded metal mesh. Wire mesh is a wire product in which the 
horizontal and transverse wires are welded at the cross-section in a 
grid pattern. Expanded metal mesh is made by slitting and stretching 
metal sheets to make a screen of diamond or other shaped openings.
    Where the product has doors, the doors are typically configured 
with or for a handle or other device or other means that permit the 
use of a mechanical or electronic lock or locking mechanism, 
including, but not limited to: A combination lock, a padlock, a key 
lock (including cylinder locks) lever or knob lock, electronic key 
pad, or other electronic or wireless lock. The handle and locking 
mechanism, if included, need not be integrated into one another. The 
subject locker may or may not also enter with the lock or locking 
device included or installed. The doors or body panels may also 
include vents (including wire mesh or expanded metal mesh vents) or 
perforations. The bodies, body components and doors are typically 
powder coated, otherwise painted or epoxy coated or may be 
unpainted. The subject merchandise includes metal lockers imported 
either as welded or otherwise assembled units (ready for 
installation or use) or as knocked down units or kits (requiring 
assembly prior to installation or use).
    The subject lockers may be shipped as individual or multiple 
locker units preassembled, welded, or combined into banks or tiers 
for ease of installation or as sets of component parts, bulk packed 
(i.e., all backs in one package, crate, rack, carton or container 
and sides in another package, crate, rack, carton or container) or 
any combination thereof. The knocked down lockers are shipped 
unassembled requiring a supplier, contractor or end-user to assemble 
the individual lockers and locker banks prior to installation.
    The scope also includes all parts and components of lockers made 
from flat-rolled metal or expanded metal (e.g., doors, frames, 
shelves, tops, bottoms, backs, side panels, etc.) as well as 
accessories that are attached to the lockers when installed 
(including, but not limited to, slope tops, bases, expansion filler 
panels, dividers, recess trim, decorative end panels, and end caps) 
that may be imported together with lockers or other locker 
components or on their own. The particular accessories listed for 
illustrative purposes are defined as follows:
    a. Slope tops: Slope tops are slanted metal panels or units that 
fit on the tops of the lockers and that slope from back to front to 
prevent the accumulation of dust and debris on top of the locker and 
to discourage the use of the tops of lockers as storage areas. Slope 
tops come in various configurations including, but not limited to, 
unit slope tops (in place of flat tops), slope hoods made of a back, 
top and end pieces which fit over multiple units and convert flat 
tops to a sloping tops, and slope top kits that convert flat tops to 
sloping tops and include tops, backs and ends.
    b. Bases: Locker bases are panels made from flat-rolled metal 
that either conceal the legs of the locker unit, or for lockers 
without legs, provide a toe space in the front of the locker and 
conceal the flanges for floor anchoring.
    c. Expansion filler panel: Expansion filler panels or fillers 
are metal panels that attach to locker units to cover columns, pipes 
or other obstacles in a row of lockers or fill in gaps between the 
locker and the wall. Fillers may also include metal panels that are 
used on the sides or the top of the lockers to fill gaps.
    d. Dividers: Dividers are metal panels that divide the space 
within a locker unit into different storage areas.
    e. Recess trim: Recess trim is a narrow metal trim that bridges 
the gap between lockers and walls or soffits when lockers are 
recessed into a wall.
    f. Decorative end panels: End panels fit onto the exposed ends 
of locker units to cover holes, bolts, nuts, screws and other 
fasteners. They typically are painted to match the lockers.
    g. End caps: End caps fit onto the exposed ends of locker units 
to cover holes, bolts, nuts, screws and other fasteners.
    The scope also includes all hardware for assembly and 
installation of the lockers and locker banks that are imported with 
or shipped, invoiced, or sold with the imported locker or locker 
system except the lock.
    Excluded from the scope are wire mesh lockers. Wire mesh lockers 
are those with each of the following characteristics:
    (1) At least three sides, including the door, made from wire 
mesh;
    (2) the width and depth each exceed 25 inches; and
    (3) the height exceeds 90 inches.
    Also excluded are lockers with bodies made entirely of plastic, 
wood, or any nonmetallic material.
    Also excluded are exchange lockers with multiple individual 
locking doors mounted on one master locking door to access multiple 
units. Excluded exchange lockers have multiple individual storage 
spaces, typically arranged in tiers, with access doors for each of 
the multiple individual storage space mounted on a single frame that 
can be swung open to allow access to all of the individual storage 
spaces at once. For example, uniform or garment exchange lockers are 
designed for the distinct function of securely and hygienically 
exchanging clean and soiled uniforms. Thus, excluded exchange 
lockers are a multi-access point locker whereas covered lockers are 
a single access point locker for personal storage. The excluded 
exchange lockers include assembled exchange lockers and those that 
enter in `knock down' form in which all of the parts and components 
to assemble a

[[Page 35741]]
