DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

International Trade Administration


Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has received 
requests to conduct administrative reviews of various antidumping duty 
(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders with January anniversary 
dates. In accordance with Commerce's regulations, we are initiating 
those administrative reviews.

DATES: Applicable March 9, 2026.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brenda E. Brown, AD/CVD Operations, 
Customs Liaison Unit, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 
NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4735.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Commerce has received timely requests, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(b), for administrative reviews of various AD and CVD orders 
with January anniversary dates. All deadlines for the submission of 
various types of information, certifications, comments, or actions by 
Commerce discussed below refer to the number of calendar days from the 
applicable starting time.

Respondent Selection

    In the event that Commerce limits the number of respondents for 
individual examination for administrative reviews initiated pursuant to 
requests made for the orders identified below, Commerce intends to 
select respondents based either on U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) data for U.S. imports during the period of review (POR) or 
questionnaires in which we request the quantity and value (Q&V) of 
sales, shipments, or exports during the POR. Where Commerce selects 
respondents based on CBP data, we intend to place the CBP data on the 
record within five days of publication of the initiation notice. Where 
Commerce selects respondents based on Q&V data, except for the 
administrative review of the AD order on wooden bedroom furniture from 
the People's Republic of China (China), for which the Q&V questionnaire 
is in a document package online, Commerce intends to place the Q&V 
questionnaire on the record of the review within five days of 
publication of the initiation notice. In either case, we intend to make 
our respondent selection decision within 35 days of the Federal 
Register publication of the initiation notice. Comments regarding the 
CBP data (and/or Q&V data (where applicable)) and respondent selection 
should be submitted within seven days after the placement of the CBP 
data/submission of the Q&V data on the record of the review. Parties 
wishing to submit rebuttal comments should submit those comments within 
five days after the deadline for the initial comments.
    In the event that Commerce decides it is necessary to limit 
individual examination of respondents and conduct respondent selection 
under section 777A(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), the following guidelines regarding collapsing of companies for 
purposes of respondent selection will apply. In general, Commerce has 
found that determinations concerning whether particular companies 
should be ``collapsed'' (e.g., treated as a single entity for purposes 
of calculating AD rates) require a substantial amount of detailed 
information and analysis, which often require follow-up questions and 
analysis. Accordingly, Commerce

[[Page 11275]]

will not conduct collapsing analyses at the respondent selection phase 
of the review and will not collapse companies at the respondent 
selection phase unless there has been a determination to collapse 
certain companies in a previous segment of the AD proceeding (e.g., 
investigation, administrative review, new shipper review, or changed 
circumstances review). For any company subject to the review, if 
Commerce determined, or continued to treat, that company as collapsed 
with others, Commerce will assume that such companies continue to 
operate in the same manner and will collapse them for respondent 
selection purposes. Otherwise, Commerce will not collapse companies for 
purposes of respondent selection.
    Parties are requested to: (a) identify which companies subject to 
review previously were collapsed, and (b) provide a citation to the 
proceeding in which they were collapsed. Further, if companies are 
requested to complete the Q&V questionnaire for purposes of respondent 
selection, in general, each company must report volume and value data 
separately for itself. Parties should not include data for any other 
party, even if they believe they should be treated as a single entity 
with that other party. If a company was collapsed with another company 
or companies in the most recently completed segment of the proceeding 
where Commerce considered collapsing that entity, complete Q&V data for 
that collapsed entity must be submitted.

Respondent Selection--Wooden Bedroom Furniture From China

    In the event that Commerce limits the number of respondents 
individually examined in the administrative review of the AD order on 
wooden bedroom furniture from China, for purposes of the January 1, 
2025, through December 31, 2025, POR, Commerce intends to select 
respondents based on volume data contained in responses to a Q&V 
questionnaire. All parties under review with respect to the AD order on 
wooden bedroom furniture from China, are hereby notified that they must 
timely respond to the Q&V questionnaire and certain additional 
questions. Commerce's Q&V questionnaire, along with certain additional 
questions, will be available in a document package at https://access.trade.gov/Resources/prc-WBF-document-Package.pdf on the date 
that this notice is published in the Federal Register. A response to 
the Q&V questionnaire and the additional questions must be received by 
Commerce by no later than 21 days after publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register. Please be advised that due to the time 
constraints imposed by the statutory and regulatory deadlines for 
completing AD administrative reviews, Commerce does not intend to grant 
any extensions of time to respond to the Q&V questionnaire or the 
additional questions.

Notice of No Sales

    With respect to AD administrative reviews, we intend to rescind the 
review where there are no suspended entries for a company or entity 
under review and/or where there are no suspended entries under the 
company-specific case number for that company or entity. Where there 
may be suspended entries, if a producer or exporter named in this 
notice of initiation had no exports, sales, or entries during the POR, 
it may notify Commerce of this fact within 30 days of publication of 
this initiation notice in the Federal Register for Commerce to consider 
how to treat suspended entries under that producer's or exporter's 
company-specific case number.

Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a party that has requested a 
review may withdraw that request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
regulation provides that Commerce may extend this time if it is 
reasonable to do so. Determinations by Commerce to extend the 90-day 
deadline will be made on a case-by-case basis.

Deadline for Particular Market Situation Allegation

    Section 504 of the Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015 amended 
the Act by adding the concept of a particular market situation (PMS) 
for purposes of constructed value under section 773(e) of the Act.\1\ 
Section 773(e) of the Act states that ``if a particular market 
situation exists such that the cost of materials and fabrication or 
other processing of any kind does not accurately reflect the cost of 
production in the ordinary course of trade, the administering authority 
may use another calculation methodology under this subtitle or any 
other calculation methodology.'' When an interested party submits a PMS 
allegation pursuant to section 773(e) of the Act, Commerce will respond 
to such a submission consistent with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v). If 
Commerce finds that a PMS exists under section 773(e) of the Act, then 
it will modify its dumping calculations appropriately.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015, Public Law 114-
27, 129 Stat. 362 (2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Neither section 773(e) of the Act nor 19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v) set a 
deadline for the submission of PMS allegations and supporting factual 
information. However, in order to administer section 773(e) of the Act, 
Commerce must receive PMS allegations and supporting factual 
information with enough time to consider the submission. Thus, should 
an interested party wish to submit a PMS allegation and supporting new 
factual information pursuant to section 773(e) of the Act, it must do 
so no later than 20 days after submission of initial responses to 
section D of the questionnaire.

Separate Rates

    In proceedings involving non-market economy (NME) countries, 
Commerce begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies within 
the country are subject to government control and, thus, should be 
assigned a single AD deposit rate. It is Commerce's policy to assign 
all exporters of merchandise subject to an administrative review in an 
NME country this single rate unless an exporter can demonstrate that it 
is sufficiently independent so as to be entitled to a separate rate.
    To establish whether a firm is sufficiently independent from 
government control of its export activities to be entitled to a 
separate rate, Commerce analyzes each entity exporting the subject 
merchandise. In accordance with the separate rates criteria, Commerce 
assigns separate rates to companies in NME cases only if respondents 
can demonstrate the absence of both de jure and de facto government 
control over export activities.

[[Page 11276]]

    All firms listed below that wish to qualify for separate rate 
status in the administrative reviews involving NME countries must 
complete, as appropriate, either a Separate Rate Application or 
Certification, as described below. In addition, all firms that wish to 
qualify for separate rate status in the administrative reviews of AD 
orders in which a Q&V questionnaire is issued must complete, as 
appropriate, either a Separate Rate Application or Certification, and 
respond to the Q&V questionnaire. All firms that wish to qualify for 
separate rate status in the administrative review of the AD order on 
wooden bedroom furniture from China, must complete, as appropriate, 
either a Separate Rate Application or Certification, and respond to the 
Q&V questionnaire and the additional questions at https://access.trade.gov/Resources/prc-WBF-document-Package.pdf.
    For these administrative reviews, in order to demonstrate separate 
rate eligibility, Commerce requires entities for whom a review was 
requested, that were assigned a separate rate in the most recent 
segment of this proceeding in which they participated, to certify that 
they continue to meet the criteria for obtaining a separate rate. The 
Separate Rate Certification form will be available on Commerce's 
website at https://access.trade.gov/Resources/nme/nme-sep-rate.html on 
the date of publication of this Federal Register notice. In responding 
to the certification, please follow the ``Instructions for Filing the 
Certification'' in the Separate Rate Certification. Separate Rate 
Certifications are due to Commerce no later than 14 calendar days after 
publication of this Federal Register notice. In addition to filing a 
Separate Rate Certification with Commerce no later than 14 calendar 
days after publication of this Federal Register notice, for the 
administrative review of the AD order on wooden bedroom furniture from 
China, a response to the Q&V questionnaire and the additional questions 
in the document package described above are due to Commerce no later 
than 21 calendar days after publication of this Federal Register 
notice. The deadline and requirement for submitting a Separate Rate 
Certification applies equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned 
firms, and foreign sellers who purchase and export subject merchandise 
to the United States.
    Entities that currently do not have a separate rate from a 
completed segment of the proceeding \2\ should timely file a Separate 
Rate Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this 
proceeding. In addition, companies that received a separate rate in a 
completed segment of the proceeding that have subsequently made 
changes, including, but not limited to, changes to corporate structure, 
acquisitions of new companies or facilities, or changes to their 
official company name,\3\ should timely file a Separate Rate 
Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this 
proceeding. The Separate Rate Application will be available on 
Commerce's website at https://access.trade.gov/Resources/nme/nme-sep-rate.html on the date of publication of this Federal Register notice. 
In responding to the Separate Rate Application, refer to the 
instructions contained in the application. Separate Rate Applications 
are due to Commerce no later than 14 calendar days after publication of 
this Federal Register notice. In addition to filing a Separate Rate 
Application with Commerce no later than 14 calendar days after 
publication of this Federal Register notice, for the administrative 
review of the AD order on wooden bedroom furniture from China, a 
response to the Q&V questionnaire and the additional questions in the 
document package described above, are due to Commerce no later than 21 
calendar days after publication of this Federal Register notice. The 
deadline and requirement for submitting a Separate Rate Application 
applies equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and 
foreign sellers that purchase and export subject merchandise to the 
United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Such entities include entities that have not participated in 
the proceeding, entities that were preliminarily granted a separate 
rate in any currently incomplete segment of the proceeding (e.g., an 
ongoing administrative review, new shipper review, etc.) and 
entities that lost their separate rate in the most recently 
completed segment of the proceeding in which they participated.
    \3\ Only changes to the official company name, rather than trade 
names, need to be addressed via a Separate Rate Application. 
Information regarding new trade names may be submitted via a 
Separate Rate Certification.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Exporters and producers must file a timely Separate Rate 
Application or Certification if they want to be considered for 
individual examination. Furthermore, exporters and producers who submit 
a Separate Rate Application or Certification and subsequently are 
selected as mandatory respondents will no longer be eligible for 
separate rate status unless they respond to all parts of the 
questionnaire as mandatory respondents.
    Furthermore, this notice constitutes public notification to all 
firms for which an administrative review of the AD order on wooden 
bedroom furniture from China has been requested, that are seeking 
separate rate status in the review, that they must submit a timely 
filed Separate Rate Application or Certification (as appropriate) as 
described above, and a timely filed response to the Q&V questionnaire 
and the additional questions in the document package in order to 
receive consideration for separate-rate status. In other words, in the 
administrative review of the AD order on wooden bedroom furniture from 
China, Commerce will not give consideration to any timely filed 
Separate Rate Application or Certification from a party who failed to 
timely respond to the Q&V questionnaire and the additional questions. 
All information submitted by respondents in the administrative review 
of the AD order on wooden bedroom furniture from China is subject to 
verification. As noted above, the Separate Rate Application and the 
Separate Rate Certification will be available on Commerce's website, 
and the Q&V questionnaire and the additional questions will be 
available at https://access.trade.gov/Resources/prc-WBF-document-Package.pdf on the date of publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register.

Certification Eligibility

    Commerce may establish a certification process for companies whose 
exports to the United States could contain both subject and non-subject 
merchandise. Companies under review that were deemed to not be eligible 
to participate in the certification program of that proceeding may 
submit a Certification Eligibility Application to establish that they 
maintain the necessary systems to track their sales to the United 
States of subject and non-subject goods.
    All firms listed below that are not currently eligible to certify 
but wish to establish certification eligibility are required to submit 
a Certification Eligibility Application. The Certification Eligibility 
Application will be available on Commerce's website at https://access.trade.gov/Resources/Certification-Eligibility-Application.pdf.
    Certification Eligibility Applications must be filed according to 
Commerce's regulations and are due to Commerce no later than 30 
calendar days after the publication of the Federal Register notice.

[[Page 11277]]

    Exporters and producers that are not currently eligible to certify, 
who submit a Certification Eligibility Application, and are 
subsequently selected as mandatory respondents must respond to all 
parts of the questionnaire as mandatory respondents for Commerce to 
consider their Certification Eligibility Application.

Initiation of Reviews

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we are initiating 
administrative reviews of the following AD and CVD orders and findings. 
We intend to issue the final results of these reviews not later than 
January 31, 2027.

    \4\ Entries of subject merchandise produced and exported by 
Marcel Lauzon Inc. or its cross-owned companies are not subject to 
countervailing duties because Commerce's final determination with 
respect to the producer/exporter combination was de minimis. 
However, any entries of merchandise produced by any other entity and 
exported by Marcel Lauzon Inc. or a cross-owned company, or produced 
by Marcel Lauzon Inc. or a cross-owned company and exported by 
another entity are subject to review. See Certain Softwood Lumber 
Products from Canada: Final Results of Countervailing Duty Expedited 
Review, 84 FR 32121 (July 5, 2019); see also Certain Softwood Lumber 
Products from Canada: Notice of Reinstatement of Exclusion from the 
Countervailing Duty Order, 88 FR 85225 (December 7, 2023).
    \5\ In the initiation notice published on February 20, 2026 (91 
FR 8186) Commerce inadvertently did not include the company listed 
above. This notice serves as a correction.

    None.

Duty Absorption Reviews

    During any administrative review covering all or part of a period 
falling between the first and second or third and fourth anniversary of 
the publication of an AD order under 19 CFR 351.211 or a determination 
under 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4) to continue an order or suspended 
investigation (after sunset review), Commerce, if requested by a 
domestic interested party within 30 days of the date of publication of 
the notice of initiation of the review, will determine whether 
antidumping duties have been absorbed by an exporter or producer 
subject to the review if the subject merchandise is sold in the United 
States through an importer that is affiliated with such exporter or 
producer. The request must include the name(s) of the exporter or 
producer for which the inquiry is requested.

Gap Period Liquidation

    For the first administrative review of any order, there will be no 
assessment of antidumping or countervailing duties on entries of 
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption during the relevant ``gap'' period of the order (i.e., the 
period following the expiry of provisional measures and before 
definitive measures were put into place), if such a gap period is 
applicable to the POR.

Administrative Protective Orders and Letters of Appearance

    Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective orders in accordance with the procedures 
outlined in Commerce's regulations at 19 CFR 351.305. Those procedures 
apply to administrative reviews included in this notice of initiation. 
Parties wishing to participate in any of these administrative reviews 
should ensure that they meet the requirements of these procedures 
(e.g., the filing of separate letters of appearance as discussed at 19 
CFR 351.103(d)).

Factual Information Requirements

    Commerce's regulations identify five categories of factual 
information in 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21), which are summarized as follows: 
(i) evidence submitted in response to questionnaires; (ii) evidence 
submitted in support of allegations; (iii) publicly available 
information to value factors under 19 CFR 351.408(c) or to measure the 
adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR 351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence 
placed on the record by Commerce; and (v) evidence other than factual 
information described in (i)-(iv). These regulations require any party, 
when submitting factual information, to specify under which subsection 
of 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21) the information is being submitted and, if the 
information is submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct factual 
information already on the record, to provide an explanation 
identifying the information already on the record that the factual 
information seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The regulations, at 19 
CFR 351.301, also provide specific time limits for such factual 
submissions based on the type of factual information being submitted. 
Please review the Final Rule,\6\ available at https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-07-17/pdf/2013-17045.pdf, prior to submitting 
factual information in this segment. Note that Commerce has amended 
certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in 
19 CFR 351.303(f).\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Certification of Factual Information To Import 
Administration During Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Proceedings, 78 FR 42678 (July 17, 2013) (Final Rule); see also the 
frequently asked questions regarding the Final Rule, available at

Procedures in Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings; Final 
Rule, 88 FR 67069 (September 29, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any party submitting factual information in an AD or CVD proceeding 
must certify to the accuracy and completeness of that information using 
the formats provided at the end of the Final Rule.\8\ Commerce intends 
to reject factual submissions in any proceeding segments if the 
submitting party does not comply with applicable certification 
requirements.

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

Extension of Time Limits Regulation

    Parties may request an extension of time limits before a time limit 
established under Part 351 expires, or as otherwise specified by 
Commerce.\9\ In general, an extension request will be considered 
untimely if it is filed after the time limit established under Part

[[Page 11287]]

351 expires. For submissions which are due from multiple parties 
simultaneously, an extension request will be considered untimely if it 
is filed after 10:00 a.m. on the due date. Examples include, but are 
not limited to: (1) case and rebuttal briefs, filed pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.309; (2) factual information to value factors under 19 CFR 
351.408(c), or to measure the adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR 
351.511(a)(2), filed pursuant to 19 CFR 351.301(c)(3) and rebuttal, 
clarification and correction filed pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3) comments concerning the selection of a surrogate 
country and surrogate values and rebuttal; (4) comments concerning CBP 
data; and (5) Q&V questionnaires. Under certain circumstances, Commerce 
may elect to specify a different time limit by which extension requests 
will be considered untimely for submissions which are due from multiple 
parties simultaneously. In such a case, Commerce will inform parties in 
the letter or memorandum setting forth the deadline (including a 
specified time) by which extension requests must be filed to be 
considered timely. This policy also requires that an extension request 
must be made in a separate, standalone submission, and clarifies the 
circumstances under which Commerce will grant untimely-filed requests 
for the extension of time limits. Please review the Final Rule, 
available at https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-20/html/2013-22853.htm, prior to submitting factual information in these segments.
