Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks From the 

People’s Republic of China: 

Continuation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) and the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) 

orders on drawn stainless steel sinks 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(China) would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and countervailable subsidies and 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States, Commerce is publishing 

a notice of continuation of the AD and 

CVD orders. 

DATES: Applicable August 28, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joshua Tucker at (202) 482–2044, AD/ 

CVD Operations, Enforcement and 

Compliance, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 

NW, Washington, DC 20230. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In March 2018, Commerce 1 and the 

ITC instituted 2 five-year (sunset) 

reviews of the AD and CVD orders on 

drawn stainless steel sinks from China, 

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 AD 

order on drawn stainless steel sinks 

from China would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping,3

and that revocation of the CVD order 

would likely lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of countervailable 

subsidies.4 Commerce, therefore, 

notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 

margins of dumping and net 

countervailable subsidy rates likely to 

prevail were the AD and CVD orders 

revoked.5

On August 20, 2018, the ITC 

published its determinations, pursuant 

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

that revocation of the AD and CVD 

orders on drawn stainless steel sinks 

from China would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time.6

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by the 

orders includes drawn stainless steel 

sinks with single or multiple drawn 

bowls, with or without drain boards, 

whether finished or unfinished, 

regardless of type of finish, gauge, or 

grade of stainless steel. Mounting clips, 

fasteners, seals, and sound-deadening 

pads are also covered by the scope of 

this order if they are included within 

the sales price of the drawn stainless 

steel sinks.7 For purposes of this scope 

definition, the term ‘‘drawn’’ refers to a 

manufacturing process using metal 

forming technology to produce a smooth 

basin with seamless, smooth, and 

rounded corners. Drawn stainless steel 

sinks are available in various shapes 

and configurations and may be 

described in a number of ways 

including flush mount, top mount, or 

undermount (to indicate the attachment 

relative to the countertop). Stainless 

steel sinks with multiple drawn bowls 

that are joined through a welding 

operation to form one unit are covered 

by the scope of the order. Drawn 

stainless steel sinks are covered by the 

scope of the orders whether or not they 

are sold in conjunction with non-subject 

accessories such as faucets (whether 

attached or unattached), strainers, 

strainer sets, rinsing baskets, bottom 

grids, or other accessories. 

Excluded from the scope of the orders 

are stainless steel sinks with fabricated 

bowls. Fabricated bowls do not have 

seamless corners, but rather are made by 

notching and bending the stainless steel, 

and then welding and finishing the 

vertical corners to form the bowls. 

Stainless steel sinks with fabricated 

bowls may sometimes be referred to as 

‘‘zero radius’’ or ‘‘near zero radius’’

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the AD and CVD orders would likely

dumping and countervailable subsidies 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the AD and CVD orders 

on drawn stainless steel sinks from 

China. U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) 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 will be the date of 

publication in the Federal Register of 

this notice of continuation. Pursuant to 

section 751(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

review of these orders not later than 30 

days prior to the fifth anniversary of the 

effective date of continuation. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return/destruction or conversion to 

judicial protective order of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

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

Failure to comply is a violation of the 

APO which may be subject to sanctions. 

These five-year (sunset) reviews and 

notice are in accordance with sections 

751(c) and published pursuant to 

section 777(i) the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 7, 2018, the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) initiated a lessthan-fair value (LTFV) investigation of 

imports of certain quartz surface 

products from the People’s Republic of 

China.1 Currently, the preliminary 

determination is due no later than 

September 24, 2018. 

Postponement of the Preliminary 

Determination 

Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

Commerce to issue the preliminary 

determination in a LTFV investigation 

within 140 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation. 

However, section 733(c)(1) of the Act 

permits Commerce to postpone the 

preliminary determination until no later 

than 190 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation if: 

(A) The petitioner makes a timely 

request for a postponement; or (B) 

Commerce concludes that the parties 

concerned are cooperating, and 

determines that the investigation is 

extraordinarily complicated, and that 

additional time is necessary to make a 

preliminary determination. Under 19 

CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must 

submit a request for postponement 25 

days or more before the scheduled date 

of the preliminary determination and 

must state the reasons for the request. 

Commerce will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. 

On July 24, 2018, Cambria Company 

LLC (the petitioner) submitted a timely 

request that we postpone the 

preliminary determination in this LTFV 

investigation.2 In its request, the 

petitioner cited its need to review and 

identify any deficiencies in the 

respondents’ initial questionnaire 

responses and Commerce’s need to issue 

and receive supplemental 

questionnaires prior to the preliminary 

determination. Thus, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner 

has stated the reasons for requesting a 

postponement of the preliminary 

determination, and Commerce finds no 

compelling reason to deny the request. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, Commerce is 

postponing the deadline for the 

preliminary to no later than 190 days 

after the date on which this 

investigation was initiated, i.e., 

November 13, 2018. Pursuant to section 

735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final 

determination will continue to be 75 

days after the date of the preliminary 

determination, unless postponed at a 

later date. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(l).
