SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

As explained in further detail in the 

Notice of Court Decision and Notice of 

Third Amended Final Determination,1

on July 3, 2018, the CIT sustained, in 

part, Commerce’s fifth remand 

redetermination.2 In particular, the CIT 

sustained Commerce’s determination 

not to terminate the AD order 3 because 

the order was imposed, in part, based on 

indirect evidence of dumping by the 

China-wide entity, a finding which was 

not challenged.4 With respect to the 

separate rate plaintiffs, the CIT ordered 

exclusion from the order for three 

separate respondents that sought 

voluntary examination in the 

investigation, but were denied: Dunhua 

City Jisen, Fine Furniture, and 

Armstrong Wood. The CIT held that 

Commerce’s application of the 

exclusion regulation, 19 CFR 

351.204(e)(1), was arbitrary with respect 

to these respondents.5 The CIT 

sustained Commerce’s determination 

not to exclude the remaining separate 

rate plaintiffs that did not seek 

voluntary examination in the 

investigation.6

Pursuant to the CIT’s July 3, 2018, 

final judgment, on July 25, 2018, 

Commerce issued the Notice of Court 

Decision and Notice of Third Amended 

Final Determination, which explained 

that the CIT’s July 3, 2018, final 

judgment was a final decision of that 

court that is not in harmony with the 

Second Amended Final Determination, 

and excluded Dunhua City Jisen, Fine 

Furniture, and Armstrong Wood from 

the AD order.7

On August 15, 2018, in response to an 

unopposed motion filed by Fine 

Furniture, the CIT amended its July 3, 

2018, final judgment, and ordered the 

exclusion of Fine Furniture’s affiliate, 

Double F Limited, a party previously 

collapsed with Fine Furniture into a 

single entity,8 from the AD order.9 This 

notice is published in accordance with 

the CIT’s August 15, 2018, order, and 

amends Commerce’s July 25, 2018, 

Notice of Court Decision and Notice of 

Third Amended Final Determination to 

exclude Double F Limited, along with 

Fine Furniture, Donghua City Jisen, and 

Armstrong Wood. 

Amendment to Timken Notice 

In its decision in Timken,10 as 

clarified by Diamond Sawblades,11 the 

United States Court for the Federal 

Circuit (CAFC) held that, pursuant to 

section 516A(e) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce 

must publish a notice of a court 

decision that is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with 

Commerce’s determination and must 

suspend liquidation of entries pending 

a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s 

August 15, 2018, amendment to its July 

3, 2018, final judgment ordering the 

exclusion of Double F Limited 

constitutes a final decision of that court 

that is not in harmony with the Second 

Amended Final Determination. This 

notice is published in fulfillment of the 

publication requirements of Timken. 

Amendment to Third Amended Final 

Determination 

Pursuant to the CIT’s August 15, 2018, 

order, we are amending the Notice of 

Court Decision and Notice of Third 

Amended Final Determination to 

exclude Double F Limited from the AD 

order. Section 735(c)(2)(A)–(B) of the 

Act instructs Commerce to terminate 

suspension of liquidation and to release 

any bond or other security, and refund 

any cash deposit, in the event of a 

negative determination. Here, 

suspension of liquidation must continue 

during the pendency of the appeals 

process (in accordance with Timken and 

as discussed above), and, therefore, we 

will continue to instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) at this time 

to (A) continue suspension at a cash 

deposit rate of zero percent until 

instructed otherwise; and (B) release 

any bond or other security, and refund 

any cash deposit made pursuant to the 

order by Double F Limited. In the event 

that the CIT’s ruling is not appealed, or 

appealed and upheld by the CAFC, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to 

terminate the suspension of liquidation 

and to liquidate those unliquidated 

entries of subject merchandise without 

regard to antidumping duties. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 516A(e)(1), 

735, and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: August 24, 2018.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Operations,
