3 In the Final Results, the Department found that 

that Shanghai Wells, Hong Kong Wells Limited 

(‘‘HK Wells’’) and Hong Kong Wells Limited (USA) 

(‘‘USA Wells’’) (collectively, ‘‘Wells Group’’) are 

affiliated and that Shanghai Wells and HK Wells 

comprise a single entity. See Final Results, 77 FR

allegations do not challenge, and these amended 

final results do not affect, that determination. 

4See section 751(h) of the Act; see also 19 CFR 

351.224(f). 

5Petitioner states we made these adjustments to 

J&K Wire. However, the Department made these 

adjustments to Bandsidhar Granites Pvt. Ltd. 

(‘‘Bansidhar’’) and Nasco’s financial ratios. 

Moreover, consistent with the Department’s 

practice, we included net changes in traded goods 

in the SG&A and profit ratios for Bansidhar alone, 

given that we only make such an adjustment when 

the information is available and Bansidhar was the 

only surrogate company with a traded goods line 

item in its financial statement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 1, 2012, the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published 

the final results of the second 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on steel wire 

garment hangers (‘‘hangers’’) from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’).1

On March 5, 2012, Petitioner 2 filed a 

timely allegation that the Department 

made two ministerial errors in the Final 

Results and requested, pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.224, that the Department 

correct the alleged ministerial errors. No 

other party in this proceeding submitted 

comments on the Department’s final 

margin calculations. Based upon our 

analysis of the comments and 

allegations of ministerial errors, we have 

made changes to the margin calculations 

for Shanghai Wells Hanger Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘Shanghai Wells’’).3 Additionally, 

because no other parties received a 

separate rate in this administrative 

review, the changes to Shanghai Wells’ 

margin will not change the current rates 

of any other parties. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the order 

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/or whether or 

not fashioned with paper covers or 

capes (with or without printing) and/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 order are 

wooden, plastic, and other garment 

hangers that are not made of steel wire. 

Also excluded from the scope of the 

order are chrome-plated steel wire 

garment hangers with a diameter of 3.4 

mm or greater. The products subject to 

the order are currently classified under 

U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

(‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings 7326.20.0020, 

7323.99.9060, and 7323.99.9080. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

merchandise is dispositive. 

Amended Final Results of the Review 

The Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(‘‘Act’’), defines a ‘‘ministerial error’’ as 

including ‘‘errors in addition, 

subtraction, or other arithmetic 

function, clerical errors resulting from 

inaccurate copying, duplication, or the 

like, and any other type of unintentional 

error which the administering authority 

considers ministerial.’’ 4 After analyzing 

Petitioner’s comments, we have 

determined that we made certain 

ministerial errors, as defined by section 

751(h) of the Act, in our calculations for 

the Final Results. 

First, we agree with Petitioner that we 

made a ministerial error in the 

calculation of the surrogate financial 

ratios of Nasco Steel Pvt., Ltd. 

(‘‘Nasco’’), which were used in 

Shanghai Wells’ margin calculation. 

Specifically, the Department 

inadvertently excluded Nasco’s 

commission on sales from selling, 

general and administrative expenses 

(SG&A’’) for the calculation of surrogate 

SG&A ratio calculation, when we 

instead intended to include Nasco’s 

commission on sales in the surrogate 

SG&A ratio calculation. Lastly, we agree 

with Petitioner’s second ministerial 

error allegation regarding the treatment 

of the net changes in finished goods 

inventory in the calculation of Sterling 

Tools Limited’s (‘‘Sterling’’) surrogate 

financial ratio calculations. Specifically, 

the Department inadvertently excluded 

the net changes in finished goods in the 

surrogate SG&A and profit ratio 

calculations for Sterling, when we 

instead intended to include the net 

changes in finished goods inventories in 

Sterling’s SG&A and profit ratios. 

Additionally, when reviewing the 

financial ratio calculations for J&K Wire 

Steel Industries Ltd. (‘‘JK Wire’’), we 

noted that we made the same 

inadvertent error in JK Wire’s SG&A and 

profit ratio calculation.5 For a detailed 

discussion of these ministerial errors, as 

well as the Department’s analysis of 

these errors, see Memorandum to James 

C. Doyle, from Bob Palmer, regarding 

‘‘Second Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review of Steel Wire 

Garment Hangers from the People’s 

Republic of China: Ministerial Error 

Memorandum,’’ dated concurrently 

with this notice (‘‘Ministerial Memo’’). 

The Ministerial Memo is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Import Administration’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(‘‘IA ACCESS’’). Access to IA ACCESS 

is available in the Central Records Unit 

(‘‘CRU’’), Main Commerce Building, 

Room 7046. In addition, a complete 

version of the Ministerial Memo can be 

accessed directly on the Internet at 

http://www.trade.gov/ia. The paper 

copy and electronic versions of the 

Ministerial Memo are identical in 

content. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), 

we are amending the Final Results of the 

administrative review of steel wire 

garment hangers from the PRC. Listed 

below are the weighted average 

dumping margins for these amended 

final results:

Disclosure 

We will disclose the calculations 

performed for these amended final 

results within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice to interested 

parties in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), the 

Department will determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

amended final results of this review. For 

assessment purpose, we calculated 

importer (or customer)-specific 

assessment rates for merchandise 

subject to this review. See 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). Where appropriate, we 

calculated an ad valorem rate for each 

importer (or customer) by dividing the 

total dumping margins for reviewed 

sales to that party by the total entered 

values associated with those 

transactions. For duty-assessment rates 

calculated on this basis, we will direct 

CBP to assess the resulting ad valorem 

rate against the entered customs values 

for the subject merchandise. Where 

appropriate, we calculated a per-unit 

rate for each importer (or customer) by 

dividing the total dumping margins for 

reviewed sales to that party by the total 

sales quantity associated with those 

transactions. For duty-assessment rates 

calculated on this basis, we will direct 

CBP to assess the resulting per-unit rate 

against the entered quantity of the 

subject merchandise. Where an importer 

(or customer)-specific assessment rate is 

de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), 

the Department will instruct CBP to 

assess that importer’s (or customer’s) 

entries of subject merchandise without 

regard to antidumping duties, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). 

The Department intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 

after the date of publication of these 

amended final results of review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the amended final results 

of this administrative review for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date, as provided for by 

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

the exporters listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will be established by the 

amended final results of this review; (2) 

for previously investigated or reviewed 

PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed 

above that have separate rates, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

exporter-specific rate published for the 

most recent period; (3) for all PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the PRC-wide rate established in the 

amended final results of this review 

(i.e., 187.25 percent); and (4) for all nonPRC exporters of subject merchandise 

which have not received their own rate, 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the PRC exporters that 

supplied that non-PRC exporter. These 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 

to file a certificate regarding the 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

prior to liquidation of the relevant 

entries during this POR. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the Department’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties has occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties. 

These amended final results are 

published in accordance with sections 

751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Case History 

The following events have occurred 

since the publication of the Department 

of Commerce’s (‘‘Department’’) notice of 

initiation in the Federal Register. See 

Circular Welded Carbon-Quality Steel 

Pipe from India, the Sultanate of Oman, 

the United Arab Emirates, and the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Initiation 

of Countervailing Duty Investigations, 

76 FR 72173 (November 22, 2011) 

(‘‘Initiation Notice’’), and the 

accompanying Initiation Checklist. 

On December 16, 2011, the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) 

published its affirmative preliminary 

determination that there is a reasonable 

indication that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured by 

reason of allegedly subsidized imports 

of circular welded pipe from India, the 

Sultanate of Oman, the United Arab 

Emirates, and the Socialist Republic of 

Vietnam (‘‘Vietnam’’). See Circular 

Welded Carbon-Quality Steel Pipe From
