of China: Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 
Value

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that imports 
of wood mouldings and millwork products (millwork products) from the 
People's Republic of China (China) are being, or are likely to be, sold 
in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV). The period of 
investigation is July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

DATES: Applicable January 4, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 12, 2020, Commerce published the Preliminary 
Determination in the LTFV investigation of millwork products from 
China.\1\ For a complete description of the events that followed the 
Preliminary Determination, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\2\

(Preliminary Determination), and accompanying Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum (PDM).
    \2\ See Memorandum, ``Wood Mouldings and Millwork Products from 
the People's Republic of China: Issues and Decision Memorandum for 
the Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 
Value,'' dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice 
(Issues and Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Investigation

    The products covered by this investigation are millwork products 
from China. For a complete description of the scope of this 
investigation, see Appendix I.

Scope Comments

    On August 5, 2020, we issued a Preliminary Scope Memorandum.\3\ 
Several interested parties submitted case and rebuttal briefs 
concerning the scope of this investigation. For a summary of the 
product coverage comments and rebuttal comments submitted to the record 
for this final determination, and accompanying discussion and analysis 
of all comments timely received, see the Final Scope Memorandum.\4\ 
Based on the comments received from interested parties, we are revising 
the scope of this investigation as it appeared in the Preliminary 
Determination. The scope in Appendix I reflects these changes.

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

Verification

    Commerce normally verifies information relied upon in making its 
final determination, pursuant to section 782(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act). However, during the course of this 
investigation, Commerce was unable to conduct on-site verification due 
to travel restrictions.\5\ Consistent with section 776(a)(2)(D) of the 
Act, Commerce relied on the information submitted on the record, where 
appropriate, which we used in making our Preliminary Determination, as 
facts available in making our final determination.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs that were 
submitted by parties in this investigation are addressed in the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum. For a list of the issues raised by interested 
parties and addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, see 
Appendix II to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a 
public document and is made available to the public via Enforcement and 
Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic 
Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at 
http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed and electronic 
versions of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical in 
content.

China-Wide Entity and Use of Adverse Facts Available

    Commerce continues to find that the use of facts available is 
warranted in determining the rate of the China-wide entity pursuant to 
sections 776(a)(1) and (a)(2)(A)-(C) of the Act. As discussed in the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum, Commerce finds that the use of facts 
available is also warranted with respect to Bel Trade Wood Industrial 
Co., Ltd. Youxi Fujian (Bel Trade) pursuant to sections 776(a)(1) and 
(a)(2)(A)-(C) of the Act. Furthermore, we find that the use of adverse 
facts available (AFA) is warranted because the China-wide entity, 
including Bel Trade, did not cooperate to the best of its ability to 
comply with our requests for information and, accordingly, we applied 
adverse inferences in selecting from the facts available, pursuant to 
section 776(b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.308(a). For the final 
determination, as AFA, we are assigning the China-wide entity, 
including Bel Trade, the rate of 230.36 percent, which is the highest 
calculated transaction-specific margin on the record.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at ``Application of Facts 
Available and Use of Facts Available'' section for a full 
discussion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    We preliminarily granted 43 companies, including the two mandatory 
respondents, Fujian Yinfeng Imp & Exp Trading Co., Ltd./Fujian Province 
Youxi City Mangrove Wood Machining Co., Ltd. (Yinfeng/Mangrove) \7\ and 
Bel Trade, and 41 non-

[[Page 64]]

individually examined respondents, a separate rate in the Preliminary 
Determination based on their eligibility.\8\ As discussed in the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum, we continue to find that Yinfeng/Mangrove is 
eligible for a separate rate in the final determination.\9\ Because we 
find that AFA is warranted for Bel Trade in the final determination, it 
is no longer eligible for a separate rate and is considered part of the 
China-wide entity.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Commerce preliminarily determined that the exporter Yinfeng, 
and its affiliated producer, Mangrove, are a single entity. See 
Preliminary Determination PDM. No new facts have been presented on 
the record of this investigation since the Preliminary Determination 
warranting reconsideration of this decision in the final 
determination.
    \8\ See Preliminary Determination PDM at 12-13.
    \9\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 1 for further 
discussion.
    \10\ Id. at ``Application of Facts Available and Use of Facts 
Available'' section.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    No party commented on our preliminary separate rate determinations 
with respect to the 41 non-individually examined companies; thus, there 
is no basis to reconsider our preliminary determinations with respect 
to these companies, and we have continued to grant them a separate rate 
in this final determination. Finally, with respect to Lanzhou 
Xinyoulian Industrial Co., Ltd. (Lanzhou Xinyoulian), a company to 
which we preliminarily denied a separate rate, we find Lanzhou 
Xinyoulian is also entitled to a separate rate after careful 
consideration of its timely submitted information requested after the 
Preliminary Determination.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Id. at ``Separate Rates'' section.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In determining the rate for non-individually examined separate rate 
respondents in a non-market economy antidumping duty (AD) 
investigation, Commerce normally takes guidance from section 
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, which governs the calculation of the all-
others rate in a market economy AD investigation. Generally, under 
section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, this rate shall be an amount equal to 
the weighted average of the estimated AD rates established for those 
companies individually examined, excluding any zero and de minimis 
rates and any rates based entirely under section 776 of the Act.
    The sole calculated AD rate for this final determination is the 
margin calculated for Yinfeng/Mangrove. Therefore, for the final 
determination, we assigned the rate calculated for Yinfeng/Mangrove as 
the separate rate for the non-individually examined companies which 
established their eligibility for a separate rate, consistent with our 
practice.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See, e.g., Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than 
Fair Value and Partial Affirmative Determination of Critical 
Circumstances: Certain Polyester Staple Fiber from the People's 
Republic of China, 71 FR 77373, 77377 (December 26, 2006), unchanged 
in Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Partial 
Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances: Certain 
Polyester Staple Fiber from the People's Republic of China, 72 FR 
19690 (April 19, 2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes Since the Preliminary Determination

    Based on our review and analysis of the comments received from 
interested parties, we made changes to the margin calculations for 
Yinfeng/Mangrove.\13\ As a result of these changes, Commerce also 
revised the China-wide entity rate and the rate for those companies 
entitled to a separate rate. For a discussion of these changes, see the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Combination Rates

    Consistent with the Preliminary Determination \14\ and Policy 
Bulletin 05.1,\15\ Commerce calculated combination rates for the 
respondents that are eligible for a separate rate in this 
investigation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Preliminary Determination.
    \15\ See Enforcement and Compliance's Policy Bulletin No. 05.1, 
regarding, ``Separate-Rates Practice and Application of Combination 
Rates in Antidumping Investigations involving Non-Market Economy 
Countries,'' dated April 5, 2005 (Policy Bulletin 05.1), available 
on Commerce's website at http://enforcement.trade.gov/policy/bull05-1.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Determination
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ As mentioned above, Commerce determined that Yinfeng/
Mangrove is a single entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping 
margins exist for the companies under investigation:

                                                                                     Estimated     Cash deposit
                                                                                     weighted-    rate (adjusted
                  Exporter                                 Producer                   average       for subsidy
                                                                                  dumping margin     offsets)
                                                                                     (percent)       (percent)

calculations performed for this final determination within five days of 
the date of publication of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.224(b).

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will 
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to 
suspend liquidation of all entries of millwork products from China, as 
described in Appendix I of this notice, which are entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 12, 2020, the date 
of publication in the Federal Register of the affirmative Preliminary 
Determination.
    Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act, upon the 
publication of this notice, Commerce will instruct CBP to require a 
cash deposit equal to the weighted-average amount by which the normal 
value exceeds U.S. price as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the 
exporter/producer combinations listed in the table above will be the 
rate identified in the table; (2) for all combinations of Chinese 
exporters/producers of subject merchandise that have not received their 
own separate rate above, the cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit 
rate established for the China-wide entity; and (3) for all non-Chinese 
exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own 
separate rate above, the cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit 
rate applicable to the Chinese exporter/producer combination that 
supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These suspension of liquidation 
instructions will remain in effect until further notice.
    To determine the cash deposit rate, Commerce normally adjusts the 
estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the amount of domestic 
subsidy pass-through and export subsidies determined in a companion 
countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding where appropriate. Accordingly, 
because Commerce made a final affirmative determination for export 
subsidies in the companion CVD investigation, we offset the calculated 
estimated weighted-average dumping margins by the appropriate export 
subsidy rates \17\ as indicated in the above chart. However, suspension 
of liquidation for provisional measures in the companion CVD case has 
been discontinued effective October 10, 2020; therefore, we are not 
instructing CBP to collect cash deposits based upon the adjusted 
estimated weighted-average dumping margin for those export subsidies at 
this time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ The export subsidy rate determined in the final 
determination of the companion CVD investigation is 10.73 percent.

of China: Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination 
(unpublished and dated concurrently with this memorandum); unchanged 
from Wood Mouldings and Millwork Products from the People's Republic 
of China: Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination 
and Alignment of Final Determination with Final Antidumping Duty 
Determination, 85 FR 35900 (June 12, 2020), and accompanying PDM at 
33-52.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For this final determination, we made no adjustment for domestic 
subsidy pass-through because we found no basis upon which to make such 
an adjustment.\18\

International Trade Commission Notification

    In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the 
International Trade Commission (ITC) of our final affirmative 
determination of sales at LTFV. We will allow the ITC access to all 
privileged and business proprietary information in our files, provided 
the ITC confirms that it will not disclose such information, either 
publicly or under an administrative protective order (APO), without the 
written consent of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 
Compliance. Because the final determination in this proceeding is 
affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC 
will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry 
in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material 
injury, by reason of imports of subject merchandise from China no later 
than 45 days after our final determination. If the ITC determines that 
such injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all 
cash deposits posted will be refunded. If the ITC determines that such 
injury does exist, Commerce will issue an AD order directing CBP to 
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on all 
imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the 
suspension of liquidation.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice will serve as a reminder to the parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of 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 which is subject to 
sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This determination is issued and published in accordance with 
sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(c).

    Dated: December 28, 2020.
Jeffrey I. Kessler,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.

Appendix I--Scope of the Investigation

    The merchandise subject to this investigation consists of wood 
mouldings and millwork products that are made of wood (regardless of 
wood species), bamboo, laminated veneer lumber (LVL), or of wood and 
composite materials (where the composite materials make up less than 
50 percent of the total merchandise), and which are continuously 
shaped wood or finger-jointed or edge-glued moulding or millwork 
blanks (whether or not resawn). The merchandise subject to this 
investigation can be continuously shaped along any of its edges, 
ends, or faces.
    The percentage of composite materials contained in a wood 
moulding or millwork product is measured by length, except when the 
composite material is a coating or cladding. Wood mouldings and 
millwork products that are coated or clad, even along their entire 
length, with a composite material, but that are otherwise comprised 
of wood, LVL, or wood and composite materials (where the non-coating 
composite materials make up 50 percent or less of the total 
merchandise) are covered by the scope.
    The merchandise subject to this investigation consists of wood, 
LVL, bamboo, or a combination of wood and composite materials that 
is continuously shaped throughout its length (with the exception of 
any endwork/dados), profiled wood having a repetitive design in 
relief, similar milled wood architectural accessories, such as 
rosettes and plinth blocks, and finger-jointed or edge-glued 
moulding or millwork blanks (whether or not resawn). The scope 
includes continuously shaped wood in the forms of dowels, building 
components such as interior paneling and jamb parts, and door 
components such as rails, stiles, interior and exterior door frames 
or jambs (including split, flat, stop applied, single- or double-
rabbeted), frame or jamb kits, and packaged door frame trim or 
casing sets, whether or not the door components are imported as part 
of a door kit or set.
    The covered products may be solid wood, laminated, finger-
jointed, edge-glued, face-glued, or otherwise joined in the 
production or remanufacturing process and are covered by the scope 
whether imported raw, coated (e.g., gesso, polymer, or plastic), 
primed, painted, stained, wrapped (paper or vinyl overlay), any 
combination of the aforementioned surface coatings, treated, or 
which incorporate rot-resistant elements (whether wood or 
composite). The covered products are covered by the scope whether or 
not any surface coating(s) or covers obscure the grain, textures, or 
markings of the wood, whether or not they are ready for use or 
require final machining (e.g., endwork/dado, hinge/strike machining, 
weatherstrip or application thereof, mitre) or packaging.
    All wood mouldings and millwork products are included within the 
scope even if they are trimmed; cut-to-size; notched; punched; 
drilled; or have undergone other forms of minor processing.
    Subject merchandise also includes wood mouldings and millwork 
products that have been further processed in a third country, 
including but not limited to trimming, cutting, notching, punching, 
drilling, coating, or any other processing that would not otherwise 
remove the merchandise from the scope of this investigation if 
performed in the country of manufacture of the in-scope product.
    Excluded from the scope of this investigation are countertop/
butcherblocks imported as a full countertop/butcherblock panel, 
exterior fencing, exterior decking and exterior siding products 
(including solid wood siding, non-wood siding (e.g., composite or 
cement), and shingles) that are not LVL or finger jointed; finished 
and unfinished doors; flooring; parts of stair steps (including 
newel posts, balusters, easing, gooseneck, risers, treads, rail 
fittings and stair stringers); picture frame components three feet 
and under in individual lengths; and lumber whether solid, finger-
jointed, or edge-glued. To be excluded from the scope, finger-
jointed or edge-glued lumber must have a nominal thickness of 1.5 
inches or greater and a certification stamp from an American Lumber 
Standard Committee-certified grading agency. The exclusion for 
lumber whether solid, finger-jointed, or edge-glued does not apply 
to screen/``surfaced on 4 sides'' (S4S) and/or ``surface 1 side, 2 
edges'' (SlS2E) stock (also called boards) that are finger-jointed 
and/or edge-glued, or to finger-jointed and/or edge-glued moulding 
or millwork blanks (whether or not resawn). Accordingly, S4S and 
S1S2E stock/boards that are not finger-jointed or edge-glued are 
excluded from the scope of this investigation.
    Excluded from the scope of this investigation are all products 
covered by the scope of the antidumping duty order on Hardwood
