Certain Hardwood Plywood Products From the People's Republic of 
China: Final Results of Administrative Reviews of the Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Orders, Final Determination of No Shipments; 2021-
2022

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that certain 
hardwood plywood products (hardwood plywood) from the People's Republic 
of China (China) were sold in the United States at below normal value 
(NV), and that countervailable subsidies are being provided to 
producers and/or exporters of hardwood plywood during the period of 
review (POR) September 26, 2021, through December 31, 2022. Commerce 
also determines that 16 exporters of hardwood plywood subject to the AD 
review, and 15 companies subject to the CVD review, had no shipments of 
subject merchandise during the period of review POR and have 
demonstrated that they should be eligible to certify that future 
shipments are not subject merchandise; four companies subject to the AD 
review are part of the China-wide entity because they did not 
demonstrate eligibility for separate rates; and the application of 
facts available with an adverse inference (AFA) is warranted for five 
companies subject to the AD review and eight companies subject to the 
CVD review, because the conditions of sections 776(a) and (b) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, (the Act) are satisfied.

DATES: Applicable May 19, 2025.

Background

    Commerce is conducting an administrative review of the AD and CVD 
Orders on hardwood plywood from China in accordance with section 751(a) 
of the Act.\1\ On August 15, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary 
Results of these administrative reviews,\2\ and invited parties to 
comment. In December 2024 and January 2025, numerous parties \3\ 
submitted case \4\ and rebuttal \5\ briefs. On December 5 and December 
9, 2024, Commerce extended the deadline of the final results of these 
administrative reviews by 60 days.\6\ Additionally, on December 9, 
2024, Commerce tolled the deadline to issue the final results in the 
administrative reviews by 90 days.\7\ Accordingly, the deadline for 
these final results is now May 12, 2025. A complete summary of the 
events that occurred since publication of the Preliminary Results can 
be found in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\8\

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

Scope of the Orders

    The product covered by the Orders is hardwood plywood from China. 
For a full description of the scope of the Orders, see the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that parties 
raised and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum 
is attached to this notice in Appendix III. 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 http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html/.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our analysis of the comments received, and for the reasons 
explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, Commerce made certain 
changes to the Preliminary Results:
     As a consequence of the application of AFA to the 
following companies, we find that Cam Lam Vietnam Joint Stock Company 
(Cam Lam), Thang Long Wood Panel Company Ltd. (Thang Long), and Win 
Faith Trading Limited (Win Faith) had entries of subject merchandise 
during the POR. Also, as AFA for Cam Lam, we are finding that Vincent 
Wood Joint Stock Company is Cam Lam's successor in interest.
     We find that Cam Lam, Thang Long, and Win Faith are not 
eligible to certify that their shipments of hardwood plywood exported 
from Vietnam are produced with non-subject materials.
     We find that Win Faith is part of the China-wide entity in 
the AD review, and we have based its final subsidy rate on AFA in the 
CVD review.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce found that 19 exporters 
covered by the AD review and 18 companies covered by the CVD review did 
not ship subject merchandise during the POR.\9\ However, for the 
reasons noted below and further described in the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum, we find in these final results that 16 exporters in the AD 
review and 15 companies in the CVD review did not ship subject 
merchandise during the POR. As noted in the Preliminary Results, we 
received evidence demonstrating that these companies made no shipments 
of such merchandise, and we verified the accuracy of that information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See AD Preliminary Results, 89 FR 66349-50 (Appendix I); and 
CVD Preliminary Results, 89 FR 66346 (Appendix I).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Certification Eligibility

    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce preliminarily found that 16 
exporters in the AD review and 15 companies in the CVD review would be 
eligible to participate in the program at the conclusion of the 
reviews; \10\ however, for these final results, we have reversed this 
decision for three of these companies and find that they remain 
ineligible to participate in the certification program.\11\ 
Accordingly, we find it appropriate to permit the 13 and 12 companies 
(covered by the AD and CVD reviews, respectively) for whom we are 
making a final determination of no shipments, and for which we did not 
previously find ineligible to certify, to participate in the 
certification program from the date of publication of these final 
results in the Federal Register. We also continue to find that there is 
no need to alter the status of additional companies that are currently 
eligible to participate in this certification program.\12\ Twenty-four 
exporters

[[Page 21273]]

remain ineligible to participate in the certification program 
established in these proceedings.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See AD Preliminary Results, 89 FR 66347-48; and CVD 
Preliminary Results, 89 FR 66345.
    \11\ Those companies are Cam Lam, Thang Long, and Win Faith.
    \12\ These companies are An An (covered by the AD and CVD 
reviews), Greatwood Hung Yen (covered by the AD and CVD reviews), 
and Cosco Star International Co., Ltd. (covered by the AD review). 
See AD Preliminary Results, 89 FR at 66347-48; CVD Preliminary 
Results, 89 FR at 66345; and Appendix I for a complete list of 
companies subject to these reviews that are eligible to certify 
their entries of hardwood plywood exported from Vietnam.
    \13\ Those companies are: (1) BAC Son Woods Processing Joint 
Stock Company; (2) Bao Yen MDF Joint Stock Company; (3) BHL Thai 
Nguyen Corp.; (4) BHL Vietnam Investment and Development; (5) Cam 
Lam Joint Stock Company; (6) Dong Tam Production Trading Company 
Limited; (7) Groll Ply and Cabinetry; (8) Hoang LAM Plywood Joint 
Stock Co.; (9) Huong Son Wood Group Co., Ltd.; (10) Linwood Vietnam 
Co. Ltd; (11) Long Phat Construction Investment and Trade Joint

Faith Trading.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

China-Wide Entity--AD Review

    Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide 
entity applies to the AD administrative review.\14\ Under this policy, 
the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party 
specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 
China-wide entity.\15\ Because no party requested a review of the 
China-wide entity in this review, the China-wide entity is not under 
review and the rate previously established for the China-wide entity 
(i.e., 114.72 percent) is not subject to change as a result of this 
review.\16\ For additional information, see the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.

Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity

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

Separate Rates--AD Review

    In the Preliminary Results of the AD review, we found that three 
companies under review were not eligible for a separate rate. No 
parties commented on this determination for these final results and 
that decision remains unchanged. In addition, as noted above, we find 
that Win Faith is not eligible for a separate rate and is considered 
part of the China-wide entity.\17\ For additional information, see the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Appendix II for a list of companies that are part of the China-wide 
entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Application of AFA

    In the Preliminary Results of the AD review, we assigned three 
companies under review (i.e., Groll Ply and Cabinetry Co., Ltd. (Groll 
Ply), Plywood Sunshine Co., Ltd. (Plywood Sunshine), and Quoc Thai 
Forestry Import Export Limited Company (Quoc Thai)) a separate rate 
based on AFA.\18\ For these final results we are also assigning a 
separate rate based on AFA to Cam Lam and Thang Long.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See Preliminary Results, 89 FR 66348; see also Comment 3 of 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum for further discussion of Plywood 
Sunshine.
    \19\ For further discussion of our decision regarding Cam Lam 
and Thang Long, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comments 7 
and 4, respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the Preliminary Results of the CVD review, we assigned five 
companies under review (i.e., Groll Ply, Plywood Sunshine, Quoc Thai, 
Hoang Lam Plywood Joint Stock Co (Hoang Lam), and Quang Phat Wood Joint 
Stock Company (Quang Phat)) rates based on AFA.\20\ For these final 
results we are also assigning a rate based on AFA to Cam Lam, Thang 
Long, and Win Faith.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ See CVD Preliminary Results, 89 FR 66345.
    \21\ For further discussion of our decision regarding Cam Lam, 
see the Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 7. For further 
discussion of our decision regarding Thang Long and Win Faith, see 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 4. See Appendix II for 
a list of companies that will receive AFA in the CVD review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Reviews

    Commerce determines that the following estimated dumping margins 
exist for the period of September 26, 2021, through December 31, 2022, 
for entries of hardwood plywood exported by the following companies:

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

Thang Long Wood Panel Company Ltd....................            * 89.10
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* This rate was determined wholly under section 776 of the Act, and was
  offset by the export subsidies calculated in the companion CVD
  administrative review.\22\

    Commerce determines that the following subsidy rates exist for the 
period of September 26, 2021, through December 31, 2022, for entries of 
hardwood plywood exported by the following companies:

Republic of China: Notice of Decision Not in Harmony with the Final 
Determination of Antidumping Duty Investigation; Notice of Amended 
Determination pursuant to Court Decision; and Notice of Revocation

    Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations 
performed in final results of an administrative review within five days 
of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, 
within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final 
results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 
However, because Commerce has not revised its calculation of the AFA 
dumping and subsidy rates, there are no calculations to disclose.

Certification Eligibility

    For the reasons explained in the Preliminary Results, we continue 
to find that Groll Ply, Hoang Lam, Plywood Sunshine,\24\ Quang Phat, 
and Quoc Thai remain ineligible to participate in the certification 
program in these proceedings. In addition, as explained in the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum, we find that the statutory factors for the 
application of AFA, within the meaning of sections 776(a) and (b) are 
satisfied for Cam Lam \25\ and Thang Long.\26\ Finally, we determine 
that Win Faith failed to cooperate, is ineligible for a separate rate, 
and is part of the China-wide entity.\27\ Accordingly, Cam Lam, Thang 
Long, and Win Faith also remain ineligible to participate in the 
certification program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ See Comment 3 of the Issues and Decision Memorandum for 
further discussion of Plywood Sunshine.
    \25\ As explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum at 
Comment 7, Cam Lam's successor-in-interest, Vincent Wood Joint Stock 
Company, is also ineligible to certify its shipments of plywood from 
Vietnam.
    \26\ See the Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 4.

Assessment Rates--AD

    Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries 
covered by this review.\28\ For all entries of merchandise exported by 
the companies listed in Appendix I and for certain entries by Win 
Faith, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate the entries without 
regard to antidumping duties. For all of the entries of merchandise 
exported by Hoang Lam, Quang Phat, and Shanghai Luli, and for the 
remaining entries by Win Faith,\29\ companies which are part of the 
China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP to liquidate their entries at 
the current rate for the China-wide entity (i.e., 114.72 percent). For 
all suspended entries of merchandise exported by Cam Lam, Groll Ply, 
Plywood Sunshine, and Quoc Thai, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 
their entries at the assigned rate of 89.10 percent. Commerce intends 
to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after 
the date of publication of the final results of this review in the 
Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of 
International Trade (CIT), 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
    \29\ As explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum at 
Comment 4, we determined that certain of Win Faith's entries sourced 
from Vietnamese producers and reported as non-subject U.S. exports 
by those producers are not subject to the Orders because they 
contained no Chinese core materials. Therefore, we intend to 
instruct CBP to liquidate these entries without regard to AD/CVD 
duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates--CVD

    Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, countervailing 
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\30\ For all 
entries of merchandise exported by the companies listed in Appendix I, 
as well as certain entries by Win Faith, we intend to instruct CBP to 
liquidate the entries without regard to countervailing duties. For all 
suspended entries of merchandise exported by Cam Lam, Groll Ply, Hoang 
Lam, Plywood Sunshine, Quang Phat, Quoc Thai, Thang Long, and the 
remaining entries by Win Faith, we will instruct CBP to liquidate their 
entries at the assigned subsidy rate of 100.11 percent. Commerce 
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days 
after the date of publication of the final results of these reviews in 
the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the CIT, 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements--AD

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of the AD administrative review for 
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results 
of these administrative reviews, as provided by sections 751(a)(2)(C) 
of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rates for Cam Lam, Groll Ply, Plywood 
Sunshine, Quoc Thai, and Thang Long will be 89.10 percent; (2) for 
previously investigated or reviewed exporters that have separate rates, 
or for companies for which we have made a no shipment finding, the cash 
deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published 
for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) for all 
Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be 
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate for 
the China-wide entity (i.e., 114.72 percent); (4) for all non-Chinese 
exporters of subject merchandise that have not received their own rate, 
the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter that 
supplied that non-Chinese exporter, where available, or the rate for 
the China-wide entity (i.e., 114.72), if no alternate rate is 
available. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

Cash Deposit Requirements--CVD

    Commerce will instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of the 
estimated countervailing duties in the amounts shown above for the 
companies listed above with regard to shipments of subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
date of publication of the final results of this review. For all non-
reviewed firms, or firms for which we are making a no shipment 
determination, CBP will continue to collect cash deposits of estimated 
countervailing duties at the all-others rate or the most recent 
company-specific rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These 
cash 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 315.402(f)(2) 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 Commerce's 
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing 
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping 
duties, and/or an increase in the amount

[[Page 21275]]

of antidumping duties by the amount of the countervailing duties.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
an APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of 
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.305(a)(3). 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 violation subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    These final results are issued and published in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(5).

    Dated: May 12, 2025.
