Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the 

People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review; and 

Rescission, in Part; 2022 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: In response to requests from 

interested parties, the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) is conducting 

an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on wooden 

bedroom furniture (WBF) from the 

People’s Republic of China (China) 

covering the period of review (POR) 

January 1, 2022, through December 31, 

2022. Commerce has preliminarily 

determined that the sole mandatory 

respondent under review, VidaXL 

Ningbo Industry Co., Ltd. (aka vidaXL 

Ningbo Industry Co., Ltd.) (VidaXL), is 

not eligible for a separate rate and is 

part of the China-wide entity. 

Commerce is also rescinding this review 

with respect to all companies under 

review, except VidaXL, because all 

requests to review these companies have 

been timely withdrawn. We invite 

interested parties to comment on these 

preliminary results of review. 

DATES: Applicable October 6, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 3, 2023, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on WBF from 

China.1 After receiving review 

requests,2 Commerce initiated this 

review.3 With the exception of VidaXL, 

which requested a review of itself, all 

other parties timely withdrew their 

review requests in their entirety.4 On 

July 25, 2023, we issued the initial 

questionnaire to VidaXL.5 On August 

25, 2023, VidaXL explained that it ‘‘has 

determined it cannot adequately 

provide {Commerce} with the 

information it has requested under the 

deadlines imposed by {Commerce}.’’ 6

Scope of the Order 7

The product covered by the Order is 

WBF, subject to certain exceptions. 

Imports of subject merchandise are 

classified under the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheadings: 9403.50.9041, 

9403.50.9042, 9403.50.9045, 

9403.50.9080, 9403.91.0005, 

9403.91.0010, 9403.91.0080, 

7009.92.1090 or 7009.92.5095. Although 

the HTSUS subheadings are provided 

for convenience and customs purposes, 

the written description of the scope of 

the Order is dispositive. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

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

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213. 

Separate Rate 

In the Initiation Notice, we informed 

parties that all firms for which a nonmarket economy review was initiated 

that wished to qualify for separate rate 

status must complete, as appropriate, 

either a separate rate application or a 

separate rate certification.8 We also 

informed parties that firms that 

submitted a separate rate application or 

a separate rate certification that are 

subsequently selected as mandatory 

respondents, would not be eligible for 

separate rate status unless they 

responded to all parts of the initial 

questionnaire that Commerce issued to 

them as mandatory respondents.9 After 

VidaXL submitted a separate rate 

application, Commerce selected VidaXL 

as the sole mandatory respondent in this 

review. As noted above, VidaXL failed 

to respond to Commerce’s initial 

questionnaire. Consistent with 

Commerce’s practice in such situations, 

as described in the Initiation Notice, and 

because VidaXL ceased responding to 

Commerce’s requests for information, 

Commerce has preliminarily determined 

that VidaXL did not establish its 

eligibility for separate rate status, and is 

part of the China-wide entity. 

Commerce’s policy regarding 

conditional review of the China-wide 

entity applies to this administrative 

review.10 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review 

unless a party specifically requests, or 

Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 

entity. Because no party requested a 

review of the China-wide entity, and 

Commerce has not self-initiated a 

review of the entity, the entity is not 

under review and the weighted-average 

dumping margin assigned to the Chinawide entity is not subject to change as 

a result of this administrative review. 

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

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

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if a party that requested a review, 

withdraws its request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of

initiation of the requested review in the 

Federal Register. Interested parties 

timely withdrew all review requests for 

25 companies/company groupings for 

which Commerce initiated this review. 

Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding 

this review of the Order with respect to 

all the companies/company groupings 

listed in the appendix to this notice. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Normally, Commerce will disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with the preliminary results of review to 

parties to the proceeding in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, as 

there were no preliminary margin 

calculations performed in the instant 

review, there are no calculations to 

disclose. This satisfies our regulatory 

obligation. Additionally, we note that, 

given the analysis underlying 

Commerce’s preliminary decisions are 

contained herein, no decision 

memorandum accompanies this Federal 

Register notice. 

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.11 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.12 A table of 

contents, list of authorities used, and an 

executive summary of issues should 

accompany any brief submitted to 

Commerce. The summary should be 

limited to five pages total, including 

footnotes.13

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 for a hearing 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 by telephone 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 Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (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.14 Note that 

Commerce has temporarily modified 

certain of its requirements for serving 

documents containing business 

proprietary information, until further 

notice.15

Final Results of Review 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this review no later than 120 

days after the date these preliminary 

results of review are published in the 

Federal Register, pursuant to section 

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

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

this review, Commerce will determine, 

and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise covered by this review. If 

we do not alter these preliminary results 

of review, we intend to instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries of subject merchandise 

exported by VidaXL at the China-wide 

rate (i.e., 216.01 percent).16

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions regarding 

VidaXL 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). 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions regarding the 

companies for which it rescinded this 

review no earlier than 35 days after the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. Commerce will 

instruct CBP to liquidate entries of 

subject merchandise exported by the 

companies for which we rescinded the 

review at the cash deposit rate required 

at the time of entry. 

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 

any previously investigated or reviewed 

China or non-China exporter that has a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the exporter’s existing 

cash deposit rate; (2) for all China 

exporters of subject merchandise that do 

not have a separate rate, including 

VidaXL, if Commerce continues to find 

the company is not entitled to separate 

rate status in the final results of review, 

the cash deposit rate will be equal to the 

dumping margin assigned to the Chinawide entity, which is 216.01 percent; 17

and (3) for all non-China exporters of 

subject merchandise that do not have a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be equal to the dumping margin 

applicable to the China exporter(s) that 

supplied that non-China exporter. These 

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)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping 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 duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(4), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Needs and Uses: NOAA Ocean 

Exploration (OER) is the only federal 

organization dedicated to ocean 

exploration. By using unique 

capabilities in terms of personnel, 

technology, infrastructure, and 

exploration missions, OER is reducing 

unknowns in deep-ocean areas and 

providing high-value environmental 

intelligence needed by NOAA and the 

nation to address both current and 

emerging science and management 

needs. Through live video and data 

streams, online coverage, training 

opportunities, and events, we allow 

scientists, resource managers, students, 

members of the general public, and 

others to actively experience ocean 

exploration, allowing broader scientific 

participation, and cultivating the next 

generation of ocean explorers, and 

engaging the public in exploration 

activities. To better understand our 

ocean, our office makes exploration data 

available to the public. This allows us, 

collectively, to more effectively 

maintain ocean health, sustainably 

manage our marine resources, accelerate 

our national economy, and build a 

better appreciation of the value and 

importance of the ocean in our everyday 

lives. It is only through leveraging 

resources internally and externally that 

we can truly achieve our mission. 

Since the inception of NOAA’s 

exploration program in 2001, OER data 

management has been guided by the 

2000 President’s Panel Report 

recommendations which prioritized 

rapid and unrestricted data sharing as 

one of five critical exploration program 

components. More recently, Public Law 

111–11 [Section XII Ocean Exploration] 

reinforced and expanded OER data 

management objectives, continuing to 

stress the importance of sharing unique 

exploration data and information to 

improve public understanding of the 

oceans, and for research and 

management purposes. 

Telepresence satellite communication 

from the ship to shore brings the 

unknown ocean to the screens of both 

scientists and the general public in their 

homes, schools or offices in near real 

time. With technology constantly 

evolving, it is important to address the 

needs of the shore-based scientists and 

public to maintain a high level of 

participation. We use voluntary surveys 

to identify the needs of users of data, 

best approaches to leverage expertise of 

shore-based participants for meaningful 

public engagement focused on ocean 

exploration. 

The five forms used to collect 

information are as follows: (1) Sailing 

Contact Information. This form is sent to 

the few scientists that directly sail on 

NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. The 

ship’s operational officer needs certain 

information such as: if a sailing 

individual has securely submitted their 

proper medical documents to NOAA’s 

Office of Marine and Aviation 

Operations; if the person is up to date 

with required security documents, such 

as a passport, if the ship is traveling to 

a foreign port; any dietary restrictions so 

that the person will be served food that 

is safe. (2) Okeanos Explorer 

Participation Assessment. This 

voluntary form is sent to the scientists 

that sailed on or participated remotely 

in any Okeanos Explorer cruise funded 

by OER to record any feedback they 

wish to provide to the office about their 

experience. The office uses their 

feedback in assessments for improving 

the utility and experience of these 

scientific guests sailing on the Okeanos 

Explorer. (3) EX Collaboration Tools 

Feedback. This voluntary form is sent to 

members of the marine scientific 

community at the beginning of a fiscal 

year to ask if members would like to 

participate in any of the upcoming 

cruises and to what degree, such as 

simply asking to be included in emailed 

updates or if they want to be on a direct 

line to the ship for remotely operated 

vehicle dive operations. (4) Citizen 

Scientist. This voluntary form is 

available to general members of the 

public and is used for members to 

improve the annotation efforts when 

watching short video clips of 30 seconds 

to 5 minutes. (5) Science Lead Interest. 

This voluntary form will be used to 

solicit interest from the scientific 

community to serve as a Science Lead
