Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the parties' briefs are addressed in the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed is 
included as Appendix I to this notice. The Issues and Decision 
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via 
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 
registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly 
at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Separate Rates

    Commerce determines that 15 companies, not individually examined, 
are eligible for separate rates in this administrative review.\5\ The 
Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment of a 
separate rate to be applied to companies not selected for individual 
examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative 
review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce 
looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for 
calculating the all-others rate in an investigation, for guidance when 
calculating the rate for separate rate respondents which Commerce did 
not examine individually in an administrative review. For the final 
results of this review, Commerce determined the estimated dumping 
margin for Qufu Xinyu to be zero. For the reasons explained in the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum, we are assigning this rate to the non-
examined respondents which qualify for a separate rate in this 
review.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Appendix II.
    \6\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

China-Wide Entity

    Commerce considers all other companies, listed in Appendix II of 
this notice, for which a review was requested, and which did not 
demonstrate separate rate eligibility, to be part of the China-wide 
entity.

Rescission of Administrative Review

    As discussed in the Issues Decision Memorandum, Commerce continues 
to find that the sale made by Dalian Hualing Wood Co., Ltd. (Hualing) 
serving as the basis for administrative review is not a bona fide sale 
of subject merchandise.\7\ Commerce reached this conclusion based on 
the totality of the record information surrounding Hualing's reported 
sale, including, but not limited to, the price and quantity of the 
sale, the timing of the sale, the resale price and profit, and other 
relevant factors such as the single sale made during the POR, the 
``specialty'' nature of the product, and the likelihood of future 
sales.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Id. at Comment 2.
    \8\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because the non-bona fide sale was the only reported sale of 
subject merchandise during the POR, we find that Hauling had no 
reviewable transactions during this POR and is ineligible for an 
administrative review. Accordingly, we are rescinding this 
administrative review with respect to Hualing.
    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Rongxin Wood 
is the successor-in-interest to Rongxin Cabinets.\9\ No interested 
party commented on this issue, and we did not receive any information 
to contradict our preliminary finding. Therefore, we continue to find 
that Rongxin Wood is the successor-in-interest to Rongxin Cabinets. 
Effective the date of publication of the final results of review, we 
will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to apply the 
antidumping duty cash deposit rate applicable to Rongxin Cabinets to 
entries of subject merchandise exported by Rongxin Wood. Based on 
Rongxin Wood's timely withdrawal of its request for a review, we are 
rescinding the review with respect to Rongxin Cabinets.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Rongxin Wood's Letter, ``Wooden Cabinets and Vanities 
and Components Thereof From the People's Republic of China--
Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,'' dated September 
8, 2021.

Final Results of Administrative Review

    Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping 
margin exists for the administrative review covering the period October 
9, 2019, through March 31, 2021:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Weighted-
                                                                average

                                                                margin
                                                               (percent)

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

Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Normally, Commerce discloses to the parties in a proceeding the 
calculations performed in connection with a final results of review in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce made no 
adjustments to the margin calculation methodology used in the 
Preliminary Results, there are no calculations to disclose for the 
final results of review.

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
Commerce has determined, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with these 
final results of review. Commerce intends to issue assessment 
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of 
publication of the final results of review in the Federal Register. If 
a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the 
assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant 
entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory 
injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
    For Qufu Xinyu, and the respondents which were not selected for 
individual examination in this administrative review, and which 
qualified for a separate rate, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. For the 
companies listed in Appendix II, identified as part of the China-wide 
entity, we will instruct CBP to apply an antidumping duty assessment 
rate of 251.64 percent (the rate applicable to the China-wide entity) 
to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR exported by those 
companies.\12\

22126 (April 21, 2020) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this review for shipments of the 
subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by 
sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for subject merchandise exported 
by the companies listed above that have separate rates, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate established in these final results of 
review for each exporter as listed above; (2) for previously 
investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed 
above that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this 
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing 
exporter-specific rate; (3) for all Chinese

[[Page 67676]]

exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be 
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the 
China-wide entity; and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject 
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied 
that non-Chinese exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 
the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to 
liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure 
to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's 
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing 
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping 
duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. Timely written 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 terms of an APO 
is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these final results of review in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(l), 751(a)(2)(B), and 777(i) of the 
Act.

    Dated: November 2, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
