Steel Wire Garment Hangers From 

Taiwan and the Socialist Republic of 

Vietnam: Continuation of Antidumping 

Duty Orders and Countervailing Duty 

Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) orders on steel wire garment 

hangers (hangers) from Taiwan and the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam 

(Vietnam), and the countervailing duty 

(CVD) order on hangers from Vietnam 

would likely lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of dumping, countervailable 

subsidies, and material injury to an 

industry in the United States, 

Commerce is publishing a notice of 

continuation of these AD orders and this 

CVD order. 

DATES: Applicable October 4, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 10, 2012, and February 

5, 2013, Commerce published in the 

Federal Register the AD and CVD orders 

on hangers from Vietnam and the AD 

order on hangers from Taiwan.1 On 

April 3, 2023, the ITC instituted,2 and 

Commerce initiated,3 the second sunset 

review of the Orders, pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act). As a result of its 

reviews, Commerce determined that 

revocation of the Orders would likely 

lead to the continuation or recurrence of 

dumping and countervailable subsidies, 

and therefore, notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

and subsidy rates likely to prevail 

should the Orders be revoked.4

On October 4, 2023, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, 

that revocation of the Orders would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise subject to the 

Orders is steel wire garment hangers, 

fabricated from carbon steel wire, 

whether or not galvanized or painted, 

whether or not coated with latex or 

epoxy or similar gripping materials, and 

whether or not fashioned with paper 

covers or capes (with or without 

printing) or nonslip features such as 

saddles or tubes. These products may 

also be referred to by a commercial 

designation, such as shirt, suit, strut, 

caped, or latex (industrial) hangers. 

Specifically excluded from the scope 

of the Orders are (a) wooden, plastic, 

and other garment hangers that are not 

made of steel wire; (b) steel wire 

garment hangers with swivel hooks; (c) 

steel wire garment hangers with clips 

permanently affixed; and (d) chrome 

plated steel wire garment hangers with 

a diameter of 3.4 mm or greater. 

The products subject to the Orders are 

currently classified under U.S. 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) 

subheadings 7326.20.0020 and 

7323.99.9080. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

countervailable subsidies, and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act, Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the Orders. U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD and CVD cash 

deposits at the rates in effect at the time 

of entry for all imports of subject 

merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Orders is October 4, 2023. 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

reviews of the Orders not later than 30 

days prior to the fifth anniversary of the 

date of the last determination by the 

Commission.6

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), 

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceedings. 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 which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These five-year (sunset) reviews and 

this notice are in accordance with 

sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act 

and published in accordance with 

section 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4).
