Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties in this inquiry 

are addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of the issues raised 

is attached to this notice as an 

Appendix. Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we made no 

changes to the Preliminary 

Determination. 

Final Affirmative Determination of 

Circumvention 

As detailed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, we determine that 

innersprings exported from Macau to 

the United States, which were 

assembled or completed in Macau by 

Macao Commercial and Industrial 

Spring Mattress Manufacturer (Macao 

Commercial) and the other companies 

that are part of the Macao Commercial 

Group, used materials and/or 

components from China and are 

circumventing the Order. Therefore, we 

determine that it is appropriate to 

include this merchandise within the 

Order and to instruct U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) to continue to 

suspend any entries of innersprings 

from Macau, which were manufactured 

in Macao by the Macao Commercial 

Group. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.225(l)(3), Commerce will direct CBP 

to continue to suspend liquidation and 

to require a cash deposit of estimated 

duties on unliquidated entries 

innersprings assembled or completed by 

the Macao Commercial Group in Macau 

from Chinese-origin components and/or 

materials that were entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after November 22, 

2016, the date of initiation of the anticircumvention inquiry. 

The suspension of liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. Commerce will instruct 

CBP to require AD cash deposits equal 

to the China-wide rate of 234.51 

percent, unless the importer/exporter 

can demonstrate to CBP that the 

Chinese-origin innersprings assembled 

or completed in Macau by the Macao 

Commercial Group were supplied by a 

Chinese manufacturer with a separate 

rate. In that instance, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate of the Chinese 

innersprings manufacturer that has its 

own rate.5

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice will serve as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of return/ 

destruction or APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These determinations are issued and 

published in accordance with section 

781(b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.225(f).

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) 

and 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 

351.214. Commerce calculated export 

prices in accordance with section 772 of 

the Act. Because the People’s Republic 

of China (China) is a nonmarket 

economy country (NME) within the 

meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, 

Commerce calculated normal value in 

accordance with section 773(c) of the 

Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum, dated 

concurrently with these results and 

hereby adopted by this notice. The 

Preliminary 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).
