New Shipper Status 

No party has contested the bona fide 

nature of Cadman’s, Huansheng’s, or 

Wanvog’s sale(s) during the POR. 

Therefore, for these final results we 

find, as in the Preliminary Results, that 

the new shipper sales made by Cadman, 

Huansheng, and Wanvog were made on 

a bona fide basis. 

Surrogate Country 

Since the Preliminary Results, no 

interested party has commented on the 

selection of the Philippines as the 

surrogate country. Therefore, we 

continue to determine that the 

Philippines is the appropriate surrogate 

country for the final results of these new 

shipper reviews. 

Separate Rates 

The Department found in the 

Preliminary Results that because 

Wanvog was wholly foreign-owned, 

further analysis is not necessary to 

determine whether Wanvog’s export 

activities are independent from 

government control.25 The Department 

also found in the Preliminary Results 

that Cadman and Huansheng both 

demonstrated a lack of de jure and de 

facto government control with respect to 

their export activities, and preliminarily 

determined that they were eligible for a 

separate rate.26 No party has contested 

the separate rate status of Cadman, 

Huansheng, or Wanvog during the POR. 

Therefore, for the final results, we 

continue to determine that Wanvog, 

Cadman, and Huansheng are eligible for 

a separate rate. 

Final Results of the New Shipper 

Reviews 

The Department has determined that 

the following final dumping margins 

exist for the period January 1, 2009, 

through December 31, 2009: 

Exporter-Producer Weighted-average 

margin (percent) 

Dongguan Huansheng 

Furniture Co., Ltd., 

Exporter/Producer ..... 0.00 

Wanvog Furniture 

(Kunshan) Co., Ltd., 

Exporter/Producer ..... 0.00 

Hangzhou Cadman 

Trading Co., Ltd., Exporter, and Haining 

Changbei Furniture 

Co., Ltd., Producer .... 0.00 

Assessment 

The Department will determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(‘‘CBP’’) shall assess, antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.212(b). For importers/ 

customers of a respondent where the 

respondent reported entered values, we 

have calculated an ad valorem rate for 

that importer/customer by dividing the 

total amount of antidumping duties 

calculated for the examined sales of 

subject merchandise by the total entered 

value of those transactions. The 

Department intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

date of publication of the final results of 

these new shipper reviews. Where an 

importer–specific ad valorem rate is de 

minimis, the Department will order CBP 

to liquidate appropriate entries without 

regard to antidumping duties. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of these 

new shipper reviews for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided for by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the 

exporter/producer combinations listed 

in the table above, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate shown for that 

combination; (2) for subject 

merchandise exported by Huansheng 

but not produced by Huansheng, 

exported by Wanvog but not produced 

by Wanvog, and exported by Cadman 

but not produced by Haining Changbei 

Furniture Co., Ltd. (‘‘Haining 

Changbei’’), the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the PRC-wide rate of 

216.01 percent; (3) for subject 

merchandise produced by Huansheng 

but not exported by Huansheng or 

produced by Wanvog but not exported 

by Wanvog, the cash deposit rate will be 

the rate applicable to the exporter; and 

(4) for subject merchandise produced by 

Haining Changbei but not exported by 

Cadman, the cash deposit rate will be 

the rate applicable to the exporter. 

These deposit requirements shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification of Interested Parties 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping 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 the antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under the APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return/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 

which is subject to sanction. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results and notice in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(2)(B), 751(a)(2)(C), 

and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214(h) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 17, 2010, ArcelorMittal 

USA, Inc., Nucor Corporation, SSAB 

N.A.D., Evraz Claymont Steel and Evraz 

Oregon Steel Mills (collectively 

Domestic Producers) requested that the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) make a final circumvention 

ruling with respect to certain cut-tolength carbon steel plate produced by 

Wuyang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. 

(Wuyang), regardless of the exporter or 

importer, or imported by Stemcor USA 

Inc. (Stemcor), regardless of the 

producer or exporter, which contain 

0.0008 percent or more, by weight, of 

boron. The Department initiated an 

antidumping circumvention inquiry 

pursuant to section 781(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). See 

Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate 

from the People’s Republic of China: 

Initiation of Antidumping 

Circumvention Inquiry, 75 FR 21241 

(April 23, 2010) (Initiation Notice). That 

initiation indicated the merchandise 

subject to the inquiry was produced by 

Wuyang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. 

(Wuyang), but also noted the 

Department intended ‘‘to address 

whether its circumvention ruling will 

apply to particular producers, exporters 

and/or importers (e.g., Stemcor) or to all 

U.S. imports’’ of certain cut-to-length 

carbon steel plate from the PRC. Id. at 

21242. 

On May 3, 2010, the Department 

issued a questionnaire to Wuyang. On 

June 1, 2010, Wuyang submitted its 

response to that questionnaire. On July 

2, 2010, Nucor Corporation submitted 

comments on Wuyang’s questionnaire 

response. On July 22, 2010, Domestic 

Producers submitted additional 

information they indicated is relevant to 

the inquiry. On October 22, 2010, the 

Department issued a supplemental 

questionnaire to Wuyang, and on 

November 23, 2010, Wuyang provided 

its response to that supplemental 

questionnaire. On December 8, 2010, the 

Department issued another 

supplemental questionnaire to Wuyang, 

and on December 16, 2010, Wuyang 

provided its response to that 

supplemental questionnaire. SSAB 

N.A.D., Evraz Claymont Steel and Evraz 

Oregon Steel Mills submitted comments 

and new information on January 3, 

2011. On January 21, 2011, the 

following each submitted new 

information and/or comments: Wuyang, 

Nucor, and ArcelorMittal USA, Inc. 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by this order is 

certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate 

from the People’s Republic of China. 

Included in this description is hotrolled iron and non-alloy steel universal 

mill plates (i.e., flat-rolled products 

rolled on four faces or in a closed box 

pass, of a width exceeding 150 mm but 

not exceeding 1250 mm and of a 

thickness of not less than 4 mm, not in 

coils and without patterns in relief), of 

rectangular shape, neither clad, plated 

nor coated with metal, whether or not 

painted, varnished, or coated with 

plastics or other nonmetallic substances; 

and certain iron and non-alloy steel flatrolled products not in coils, of 

rectangular shape, hot-rolled, neither 

clad, plated, nor coated with metal, 

whether or not painted, varnished, or 

coated with plastics or other 

nonmetallic substances, 4.75 mm or 

more in thickness and of a width which 

exceeds 150 mm and measures at least 

twice the thickness. Included as subject 

merchandise in this order are flat-rolled 

products of nonrectangular cross-section 

where such cross-section is achieved 

subsequent to the rolling process (i.e., 

products which have been ‘‘worked after 

rolling’’)—for example, products which 

have been bevelled or rounded at the 

edges. This merchandise is currently 

classified in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

under item numbers 7208.40.3030, 

7208.40.3060, 7208.51.0030, 

7208.51.0045, 7208.51.0060,

7212.40.5000, 7212.50.0000. Although 

the HTSUS subheadings are provided 

for convenience and customs purposes, 

the written description of the scope of 

this order is dispositive. Specifically 

excluded from subject merchandise 

within the scope of this order is grade 

X–70 steel plate. 

Merchandise Subject to the Minor 

Alterations Antidumping 

Circumvention Proceeding 

The merchandise subject to this 

antidumping circumvention inquiry 

(Inquiry Merchandise) consists of all 

merchandise produced by Wuyang 

containing 0.0008 percent or more 

boron, by weight, and otherwise 

meeting the requirements of the scope of 

the antidumping duty order as listed 

under the ‘‘Scope of the Order’’ section 

above, with the exception of 

merchandise meeting all of the 

following requirements: aluminum level 

of 0.02 percent or greater, by weight; a 

ratio of 3.4 to 1 or greater, by weight, of 

titanium to nitrogen; and a 

hardenability test (i.e., Jominy test) 

result indicating a boron factor of 1.8 or 

greater. This merchandise is currently 

classified in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

under item numbers 7225.40.3050, 

7225.99.0090, 7226.91.5000, and 

7226.99.0180. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of Inquiry 

Merchandise is dispositive. 

Legal Framework 

Section 781(c) of the Act, dealing with 

minor alterations of merchandise, states: 

(1) In general. The class or kind of 

merchandise subject to—(A) an 

investigation under this title, (B) an 

antidumping duty order issued under 

section 736, (C) a finding issued under 

the Antidumping Act, 1921, or (D) a 

countervailing duty order issued under 

section 706 or section 303, shall include 

articles altered in form or appearance in 

minor respects (including raw 

agricultural products that have 

undergone minor processing), whether 

or not included in the same tariff 

classification. (2) Exception. Paragraph 

(1) shall not apply with respect to 

altered merchandise if the administering 

authority determines that it would be 

unnecessary to consider the altered 

merchandise within the scope of the 

investigation, order, or finding. 

Section 351.225(i) of the Department’s 

regulations states that under section 

781(c) of the Act, the Secretary may 

include within the scope of an 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order articles altered in form or 

appearance in minor respects. 

Criteria for Analysis 

While the statute is silent regarding 

what factors to consider in determining 

whether alterations are properly 

considered ‘‘minor,’’ the legislative 

history of this provision indicates there 

are certain factors that should be 

considered before reaching a 

circumvention determination. Previous 

circumvention cases 1 have relied on the

Senate Finance Committee, S. Rep. No. 71, 100th 

Cong., 1st Sess., at 100 (1987) (emphasis added). 

3Furthermore, Wuyang does not claim that the 

merchandise it shipped meets the additional 

requirements that would exclude it from this 

circumvention inquiry (i.e., aluminum level of 0.02 

percent or greater, by weight; a ratio of 3.4 to 1 or 

greater, by weight, of titanium to nitrogen; and a 

hardenability test (i.e., Jominy test) result indicating 

a boron factor of 1.8 or greater), and the 

documentation on the record regarding the 

merchandise Wuyang manufactured and sold to the 

United States does not indicate those additional 

criteria were met. 

4Furthermore, such a conclusion was reached in 

another proceeding involving plate products. See 

Canadian Plate. 

factors listed in the Senate Finance 

Committee report on the Omnibus Trade 

and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (which 

amended the Tariff Act of 1930 to 

include the anti-circumvention 

provisions contained in section 781), 

which states: 

{i}n applying this provision, the 

Commerce Department should apply 

practical measurements regarding minor 

alterations, so that circumvention can be 

dealt with effectively, even where such 

alterations to an article technically transform 

it into a differently designated article. The 

Commerce Department should consider such 

criteria as the overall physical characteristics 

of the merchandise, the expectations of the 

ultimate users, the use of the merchandise, 

the channels of marketing and the cost of any 

modification relative to the total value of the 

imported products.2

In the case of an allegation of a ‘‘minor 

alteration’’ under section 781(c) of the 

Act, it is the Department’s practice to 

look at the five factors listed in the 

Senate Finance Committee report 

(Senate Report Criteria) to determine if 

circumvention exists in a particular 

case. See, e.g., Canadian Plate, 65 FR at 

64929. In circumvention cases we 

sometimes analyze additional criteria to 

determine if circumvention of the order 

is taking place. Id. at 64930. These may 

be case-specific. For example, in 

Canadian Plate additional factors 

analyzed included the circumstances 

under which the products entered the 

United States, the timing of the entries 

during the circumvention review 

period, and the quantity of merchandise 

entered during the circumvention 

review period. Id. at 64930–31. In a 

more recent circumvention case, the 

additional factors analyzed included not 

only the timing of the entries during the 

period, but also other factors, such as 

the input of customers in the design 

phase. See Affirmative Preliminary 

Determination of Circumvention of the 

Antidumping Duty Order on Folding 

Metal Tables and Chairs from the 

People’s Republic of China, 73 FR 63684 

(October 27, 2008), unchanged in 

Affirmative Final Determination of 

Circumvention of the Antidumping Duty 

Order on Folding Metal Tables and 

Chairs from the People’s Republic of 

China, 74 FR 20920 (May 6, 2009). 

Analysis 

We examined the evidence and 

argument submitted by interested 

parties in the course of this inquiry in 

the context of the Senate Report Criteria 

and an additional factor, the timing of 

the entries during the period. 

Based on our review of the record 

evidence and our analysis of the 

comments received, the Department 

preliminarily determines that imports 

from the PRC of Inquiry Merchandise 

produced by Wuyang are within the 

class or kind of merchandise subject to 

the order on certain cut-to-length carbon 

steel plate from the PRC. For a complete 

discussion of the Department’s analysis, 

see the Preliminary Analysis 

Memorandum for the Circumvention 

Inquiry of the Antidumping Duty Order 

on Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel 

Plate from the People’s Republic of 

China, for the Producer known as 

Wuyang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. 

(Preliminary Analysis Memorandum), 

dated concurrently with this notice. 

As explained in the Preliminary 

Analysis Memorandum, we 

preliminarily determine that the Inquiry 

Merchandise has the same physical 

characteristics as products in the scope 

of the order on certain cut-to-length 

carbon steel plate from the PRC and the 

ITC Final Report except for the presence 

of boron in excess of 0.0008 percent, by 

weight.3 We find no evidence of 

significant differences in the physical 

characteristics, the expectations of the 

ultimate users, uses of the merchandise, 

or channels of marketing between 

products in the scope of the order and 

the Inquiry Merchandise. We find that 

the only difference in the production 

process is the addition of the boron, and 

the cost of such boron is insignificant. 

See Preliminary Analysis Memorandum. 

As a result of our inquiry, we 

preliminarily determine that imports 

from the PRC of Inquiry Merchandise 

produced by Wuyang, regardless of the 

exporter or the importer of the 

merchandise, are within the class or 

kind of merchandise subject to the order 

on certain cut-to-length carbon steel 

plate from the PRC. See section 781(c) 

of the Act. 

Application of Ruling to Inquiry 

Merchandise Regardless of Producer 

As noted above, the Department 

preliminarily finds Inquiry Merchandise 

produced by Wuyang circumventing the 

order. The Department reached a similar 

conclusion in its previous 

circumvention inquiry involving cut-tolength carbon steel plate from the PRC, 

where the Department found a producer 

and an importer circumventing the 

order. See Tianjin Plate.4 In that case, 

three criteria were identified that, 

collectively, and in conjunction with 

the presence of 0.0008 percent or more 

boron, by weight, distinguish the 

resulting merchandise from 

merchandise covered by the scope of the 

order: aluminum level of 0.02 percent or 

greater, by weight; a ratio of 3.4 to 1 or 

greater, by weight, of titanium to 

nitrogen; and a hardenability test (i.e., 

Jominy test) result indicating a boron 

factor of 1.8 or greater. Those three 

distinguishing criteria were identified in 

the Initiation Notice, and no parties 

have suggested other objective criteria 

that would result in merchandise with 

0.0008 percent or more, by weight, of 

boron being distinguishable from 

subject merchandise. 

The Department indicated in the 

Initiation Notice that it would consider 

applying the results of the current 

inquiry to Inquiry Merchandise 

regardless of producer. See Initiation 

Notice. No parties have commented on 

this. The current inquiry and Tianjin 

Plate demonstrate that circumvention 

through use of boron has involved 

multiple parties producing and 

importing different specifications of 

plate. Therefore, the Department 

preliminarily determines that all 

merchandise, regardless of producer, 

containing 0.0008 percent or more 

boron and otherwise meeting the 

description of the scope, and not 

meeting the three distinguishing criteria 

listed above, are covered by the order. 

The Department has applied rulings in 

other circumvention inquiries on a 

country-wide basis. See, e.g., 

Affirmative Final Determination of 

Circumvention of the Antidumping Duty 

Order on Folding Metal Tables and 

Chairs from the People’s Republic of 

China, 74 FR 20920 (May 6, 2009), and

9752 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 35 / Tuesday, February 22, 2011 / Notices 

(October 6, 2006). While we 

preliminarily determine that imports 

from the PRC of Inquiry Merchandise 

are subject to the order on certain cutto-length carbon steel plate from the 

PRC, interested parties are not 

precluded by this determination from 

applying for a ruling as to whether a 

particular product is within the scope of 

the order. See 19 CFR 351.225(c). 

Conclusion 

As noted above, we preliminarily 

determine that imports from the PRC of 

Inquiry Merchandise are subject to the 

order on certain cut-to-length carbon 

steel plate from the PRC. Also as noted 

above, we preliminarily determine that 

imports of such products are subject to 

the order regardless of the producer. 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

351.225(l)(2) of the Department’s 

regulations, we are directing U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

suspend liquidation of Inquiry 

Merchandise (regardless of producer) 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after April 23, 

2010, the date of the initiation of this 

inquiry. We will also instruct CBP to 

require a cash deposit of estimated 

duties at the applicable rates for each 

unliquidated entry of the product 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after April 23, 

2010, the date of the initiation of this 

inquiry, in accordance with section 

351.225(l)(2) of the Department’s 

regulations. 

Public Comment 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on the preliminary results and 

may submit case briefs and/or written 

comments within 20 days of the 

publication of this notice. See 19 CFR 

351.225(f)(3). Interested parties may file 

rebuttal briefs and rebuttals to written 

comments, limited to issues raised in 

such briefs or comments, no later than 

10 days after the date on which the case 

briefs are due. Id. Interested parties may 

request a hearing within 20 days of the 

publication of this notice. Interested 

parties will be notified by the 

Department of the location and time of 

any hearing, if one is requested. 

This preliminary determination of 

circumvention is in accordance with 

section 781(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.225.
