SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 1, 2022, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on steel racks 

from China.1 After receiving review 

requests, Commerce initiated this 

review with respect to 12 companies.2

On May 25, 2023, Commerce extended 

the deadline for these preliminary 

results of review by 119 days, to 

September 29, 2023.3

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.4 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as an 

appendix to 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). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is steel racks and parts thereof, 

assembled, to any extent, or 

unassembled, including but not limited 

to, vertical components (e.g., uprights, 

posts, or columns), horizontal or 

diagonal components (e.g., arms or 

beams), braces, frames, locking devices 

(e.g., end plates and beam connectors), 

and accessories (including, but not 

limited to, rails, skid channels, skid 

rails, drum/coil beds, fork clearance 

bars, pallet supports, row spacers, and 

wall ties). 

Merchandise covered by the Order is 

classified in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

under subheadings 7326.90.8688, 

9403.20.0081, 9403.90.8041, and 

9403.99.9041.5 Subject merchandise 

may also be classified under 

subheadings 7308.90.3000, 

7308.90.6000, 7308.90.9590, and 

9403.20.0090. The HTSUS subheadings 

are provided for convenience and U.S. 

customs purposes only. The written 

description of the scope is dispositive. 

A full description of the scope of the 

Order is contained in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

On December 5 and 12, 2022, Hebei 

Minmetals Co., Ltd. (Hebei Minmetals) 

and Xiamen Luckyroc Industry Co., Ltd. 

(Luckyroc), respectively, timely filed 

certifications that they did not export or 

sell subject merchandise during the POR 

and that there were no suspended 

entries of their subject merchandise into 

the United States during the POR. On 

August 9, 2023, we requested that CBP 

identify any POR entries of subject 

merchandise from Hebei Minmetals or 

Luckyroc.6 Based on an analysis of 

information from CBP, and each 

company’s certification, we 

preliminarily determine that Hebei 

Minmetals and Luckyroc had no 

shipments of subject merchandise 

during the POR.7

Consistent with Commerce’s practice, 

we are not rescinding this 

administrative review with respect to 

Hebei Minmetals and Luckyroc but 

intend to complete the review of these 

companies and issue appropriate

assessment instructions to CBP based on 

the final results of the review.8

Partial Rescission of the Administrative 

Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if all parties who requested a 

review withdraw their requests within 

90 days of the date that the notice of 

initiation of the requested review was 

published in the Federal Register. All 

requests to review the following 

companies were timely withdrawn: (1) 

Guangdong Wireking Housewares and 

Hardware Co., Ltd.; 9 (2) Suzhou (China) 

Sunshine Hardware & Equipment Imp. 

& Exp. Co. Ltd.; 10 (3) Jiangsu Starshine 

Industry Equipment Co., Ltd. 

(Starshine); 11 and (4) Suntop (Xiamen) 

Display System Inc.12 Therefore, 

consistent with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce is rescinding this review, in 

part, with respect to these companies. 

Preliminary Affiliation and Single 

Entity Determination 

Based on record evidence in this 

review, Commerce preliminarily 

determines that the following 

companies are affiliated, pursuant to 

section 771(33)(F) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), and that 

they should be treated as a single 

collapsed entity (i.e., Xinguang Rack), 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f)(1)–(2): (1) 

Ningbo Xinguang Rack Co., Ltd.; (2) 

Ningbo Jiabo Rack Co., Ltd.; and (3) 

Ningbo Lede Hardware Co., Ltd. For 

additional information, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

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

of the Act. We calculated export and 

constructed export prices in accordance 

with section 772 of the Act. Further, 

because China is a non-market economy 

(NME) country within the meaning of 

section 771(18) of the Act, we calculated 

NV in accordance with section 773(c) of 

the Act. For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

preliminary results, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Separate Rates 

In all proceedings involving an NME 

country, Commerce maintains a 

rebuttable presumption that all 

companies are subject to government 

control and, thus, should be assessed a 

single weighted-average dumping 

margin unless the company can 

affirmatively demonstrate an absence of 

government control, both in law (de 

jure) and in fact (de facto), with respect 

to its exports (i.e., can affirmatively 

demonstrate that it is eligible for a 

separate rate).13 Commerce has 

preliminarily determined that 

information placed on the record by 

Jiangsu JISE Intelligent Storage 

Equipment Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Storage), 

Jiangsu Nova Intelligent Logistics 

Equipment Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Nova), 

Nanjing Kingmore Logistics Equipment 

Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Kingmore), and 

Xinguang Rack demonstrates that these 

companies are eligible for separate rate 

status.14

However, Commerce has 

preliminarily determined that Nanjing 

Dongsheng Shelf Manufacturing Co., 

Ltd. and Nanjing Ironstone Storage 

Equipment Co., Ltd. have not 

demonstrated their eligibility for a 

separate rate because each company did 

not file a timely separate rate 

application or separate rate certification 

with Commerce. Therefore, we have 

preliminarily treated these companies as 

part of the China-wide entity. 

Because no party requested a review 

of the China-wide entity, the Chinawide entity is not under review. 

Accordingly, the weighted-average 

dumping margin determined for the 

China-wide entity (i.e., 144.50 

percent) 15 is not subject to change in 

this review. For additional information, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Weighted-Average Dumping Margin for 

the Non-Examined Companies Granted 

a Separate Rate 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address what 

weighted-average dumping margin to 

apply to companies not selected for 

individual examination when 

Commerce limits its examination in an 

administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, 

Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of 

the Act for guidance regarding 

establishing a weighted-average 

dumping margin for respondents which 

were not individually examined in an 

administrative review. 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

provides that Commerce will base the 

all-others rate in an investigation on the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

calculated for the individually 

examined respondents, excluding rates 

that are zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on facts available. Where the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

each of the individually examined 

companies is zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on facts available, section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act provides that 

Commerce may use ‘‘any reasonable 

method’’ to establish the estimated allothers rate. 

Because the preliminary weightedaverage dumping margins calculated for 

the individually examined companies 

(Jiangsu Nova and Xinguang Rack) in 

this administrative review are not zero, 

de minimis, or based entirely on facts 

available, we have preliminarily 

assigned Jiangsu Storage and 

Kingmore—which have been found to 

be eligible for a separate rate, but were 

not selected for individual 

examination—a weighted-average 

dumping margin equal to the average, 

weighted by the publicly ranged total 

sales quantities, of the weighted-average 

dumping margins calculated for Jiangsu 

Nova and Xinguang Rack, consistent 

with the guidance in section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act.16

Preliminary Results of Review 

We are assigning the following 

weighted-average dumping margins to 

the companies listed below for the 

period September 1, 2021, through 

August 31, 2022:

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

parties to the proceeding the 

calculations performed for these 

preliminary results of review under 

administrative protective order within 

five days of the date of publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register.17

Interested parties may submit case 

briefs to Commerce no later than 30 

days after the date of publication of 

these preliminary results of review in 

the Federal Register.18 Rebuttal briefs 

may be filed with Commerce no later 

than seven days after case briefs are due 

and may respond only to arguments 

raised in the case briefs.19 A table of 

contents, list of authorities used, and an 

executive summary of issues should 

accompany any briefs submitted to 

Commerce. The summary should be 

limited to five pages total, including 

footnotes.20

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. Requests for a hearing 

should contain: (1) the requesting 

party’s name, address, and telephone 

number; (2) the number of individuals 

associated with the requesting party that 

will attend the hearing and whether any 

of those individuals is a foreign 

national; and (3) a list of the issues the 

party intends to discuss at the hearing. 

Oral arguments at the hearing will be 

limited to issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs. If a request for a hearing 

is made, Commerce will announce the 

date and time of the hearing. Parties 

should confirm the date and time of the 

hearing two days before the scheduled 

hearing date. 

All submissions to Commerce, with 

limited exceptions, must be filed 

electronically using ACCESS. An 

electronically filed document must be 

received successfully in its entirety by 

Commerce’s electronic records system, 

ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 

the due date.21 Note that Commerce has 

temporarily modified certain of its 

requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information, until further notice.22

Final Results of Review 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in any briefs, 

within 120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results of review in the 

Federal Register, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the assessment 

of antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by the review 

shall be based on the final results of this 

review. Therefore, upon issuance of the 

final results of review, Commerce will 

determine, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise covered 

by this review.23

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

We will calculate importer or 

customer-specific assessment rates for 

the individually examined respondents, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1).24 Where the respondent 

reported reliable entered values, we will 

calculate importer or customer-specific 

ad valorem assessment rates by dividing 

the total amount of dumping calculated 

in the final results of this review for all 

reviewed U.S. sales to the importer/ 

customer by the total entered value of 

the merchandise sold to the importer/ 

customer.25 Where the respondent did 

not report entered values, we will 

calculate importer or customer-specific 

per-unit assessment rates by dividing 

the total amount of dumping calculated 

in the final results of this review for all 

reviewed U.S. sales to the importer/ 

customer by the total quantity of those 

sales. While we will calculate estimated 

ad valorem importer or customerspecific assessment rates to determine 

whether the per-unit assessment rates 

are de minimis, we will use the per-unit 

assessment rates where entered values 

were not reported.26 Where either the 

respondent’s ad valorem weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis, or an importer or customerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is 

zero or de minimis,27 we will instruct 

CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

The assessment rate for a company 

not individually examined that qualifies 

for a separate rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

determined for the company in the final 

results of this review.28 If that rate is 

zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP

29See Order, 84 FR at 48586. 30See Non-Market Economy Antidumping 

Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 

FR 65694 (October 24, 2011), for a full discussion 

of this practice. 

to liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

The assessment rate for companies 

that are not eligible for a separate rate, 

which are therefore considered to be 

part of the China-wide entity, will be 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin for the China-wide entity, i.e., 

144.50 percent.29

Pursuant to a refinement to 

Commerce’s assessment practice, where 

sales of subject merchandise exported 

by an individually examined 

respondent were not reported in the 

U.S. sales data submitted by the 

respondent, but the merchandise was 

entered into the United States during 

the POR, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate any entries of such 

merchandise at the antidumping duty 

assessment rate for the China-wide 

entity.30 Additionally, where Commerce 

determines that an exporter under 

review had no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR, any 

suspended entries of subject 

merchandise that entered under that 

exporter’s CBP case number during the 

POR will be liquidated at the 

antidumping duty assessment rate for 

the China-wide entity. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be in effect for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on, or after, the date of 

publication of the notice of the final 

results of this administrative review in 

the Federal Register, as provided for by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for an 

exporter granted a separate rate in the 

final results of this review, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review for the company (except, if the 

rate is de minimis, then a cash deposit 

rate of zero will be required); (2) for a 

previously investigated or reviewed 

exporter of subject merchandise not 

listed in the final results of review that 

has a separate rate, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the exporter’s 

existing cash deposit rate; (3) for all 

China exporters of subject merchandise 

that do not have a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

assigned to the China-wide entity, 

which is 144.50 percent; and (4) for a 

non-China exporter of subject 

merchandise that does not have a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margin applicable to the China 

exporter(s) that supplied that non-China 

exporter. 

These cash deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 

the reimbursement of antidumping and/ 

or countervailing duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during the POR. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping and/or 

countervailing duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties, and/or an increase 

in the amount of antidumping duties by 

the amount of the countervailing duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(l) and 

777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213 

and 351.221(b)(4).
