    The merchandise subject to this Order consists of wooden cabinets 
and vanities that are for permanent installation (including floor 
mounted, wall mounted, ceiling hung or by attachment of plumbing), and 
wooden components thereof. Wooden cabinets and vanities and wooden 
components are made substantially of wood products, including solid 
wood and engineered wood products (including those made from wood 
particles, fibers, or other wooden materials such as plywood, strand 
board, block board, particle board, or fiberboard), or bamboo. Wooden 
cabinets and vanities consist of a cabinet box (which typically

or other overlays, or laminates, with or without non-wood components or

not surface finished or unfinished, and whether or not completed.
    Wooden cabinets and vanities are covered by this Order whether or 
not they are imported attached to, or in conjunction with, faucets, 
metal plumbing, sinks and/or sink bowls, or countertops. If wooden 
cabinets or vanities are imported attached to, or in conjunction with, 
such merchandise, only the wooden cabinet or vanity is covered by the 
scope.

Hardwood Plywood Products from the People's Republic of China: Amended 
Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, and Antidumping

importation they may include: (1) Wooden components required to 
assemble a cabinet or vanity (including drawer faces and doors); and

in-scope components that have been further processed in a third 
country, including but not limited to one or more of the following: 
Trimming, cutting, notching, punching, drilling, painting, staining, 
finishing, assembly, or any other processing that would not otherwise 
remove the merchandise from the scope of the Order if performed in the 
country of manufacture of the in-scope product.
    Excluded from the scope of this Order, if entered separate from a 
wooden cabinet or vanity are:
    (1) Aftermarket accessory items which may be added to or installed 
into an interior of a cabinet and which are not considered a structural 
or core component of a wooden cabinet or vanity. Aftermarket accessory 
items may be made of wood, metal, plastic, composite material, or a 
combination thereof that can be inserted into a cabinet and which are 
utilized in the function of organization/accessibility on the interior 
of a cabinet; and include:
     Inserts or dividers which are placed into drawer boxes 
with the purpose of organizing or dividing the internal portion of the 
drawer into multiple areas for the purpose of containing smaller items 
such as cutlery, utensils, bathroom essentials, etc.
     Round or oblong inserts that rotate internally in a 
cabinet for the purpose of accessibility to foodstuffs, dishware, 
general supplies, etc.
    (2) Solid wooden accessories including corbels and rosettes, which 
serve the primary purpose of decoration and personalization.

statistical number 9403.90.7080. Although the HTSUS subheadings are 
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description

Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review

    For the reasons stated in the Initiation and Preliminary Results, 
and because we received no comments from interested parties, Commerce 
continues to find that Goldenhome is the successor-in-interest to 
Xiamen Goldenhome for AD purposes. As a result of this determination, 
we determine that Goldenhome should receive the AD cash deposit rate 
applicable to Xiamen Goldenhome. Consequently, Commerce will instruct 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of all 
shipments of subject merchandise exported by Goldenhome and entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication 
date of this notice in the Federal Register at the current AD cash-
deposit rate applicable to Xiamen Goldenhome.\3\ This cash deposit 
requirement shall remain in effect until further notice.
