SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This preliminary determination is 

made in accordance with section 733(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Commerce published the 

notice of initiation of this investigation 

on May 19, 2023.1 On September 14, 

2023, Commerce postponed the 

preliminary determination of this 

investigation until November 21, 2023.2

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix

this investigation. However, because it did not 

export any subject merchandise to the United States 

during the POI, we are preliminarily not assigning 

Fuyuan Wood a dumping margin.

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is boltless steel shelving 

from Malaysia. For a complete 

description of the scope of this 

investigation, see Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the Preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,4 the Initiation 

Notice set aside a period of time for 

parties to raise issues regarding product 

coverage (i.e., scope).5 Certain interested 

parties commented on the scope of the 

investigation as it appeared in the 

Initiation Notice. For a summary of the 

product coverage comments and 

rebuttal responses submitted to the 

record for this preliminary 

determination, and accompanying 

discussion and analysis of all comments 

timely received, see the Preliminary 

Scope Decision Memorandum.6 As 

discussed in the Preliminary Scope 

Decision Memorandum, Commerce 

preliminarily did not modify the scope 

language as it appeared in the Initiation 

Notice. In the Preliminary Scope 

Decision Memorandum, Commerce 

established deadlines for parties to 

submit scope case and rebuttal briefs as 

well as a deadline to request a hearing 

on issues raised in the scope briefs. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. Commerce has 

calculated export prices for Eonmetall 

Industries Sdn. Bhd. (EMI) in 

accordance with section 772(a) of the 

Act. Normal value is calculated in 

accordance with section 773 of the Act. 

Furthermore, pursuant to section 776(a) 

and (b) of the Act, Commerce has 

preliminarily relied on facts otherwise 

available, with adverse inferences for 

Nanjing Chervon Industry Co., Ltd. 

(Nanjing Chervon) and Wuxi Bote 

Electrical Apparatus Co., Ltd. (Wuxi 

Bote).7 For a full description of the 

methodology underlying the 

preliminary determination, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Sections 733(d)(1)(ii) and 735(c)(5)(A) 

of the Act provide that in the 

preliminary determination Commerce 

shall determine an estimated all-others 

rate for all exporters and producers not 

individually examined. This rate shall 

be an amount equal to the weighted 

average of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins established 

for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero and de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. 

Where the rates for individually 

investigated companies are all zero or 

de minimis, or determined entirely 

using facts otherwise available, section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act instructs 

Commerce to establish ‘‘any reasonable 

method to establish the estimated allothers rate for exporters and producers 

not individually investigated, including 

averaging the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins determined 

for the exporters and producers 

individually investigated.’’ Commerce 

has preliminarily determined the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for Nanjing Chervon and Wuxi 

Bote under section 776 of the Act and 

calculated an estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for EMI of 

zero. Consequently, pursuant to section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, we calculated 

the all-others rate based on a simple 

average of the zero percent dumping 

margin and the two dumping margins 

based totally on adverse facts available. 

Preliminary Determination 

For the period April 1, 2022, through 

March 31, 2023, Commerce 

preliminarily determines that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins exist: 

Producer/exporter 

Estimated 

weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Eonmetall Industries Sdn. Bhd ... 0.00 

Nanjing Chervon Industry Co., 

Ltd ........................................... * 81.12 

Producer/exporter 

Estimated 

weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Wuxi Bote Electrical Apparatus 

Co., Ltd ................................... * 81.12 

All Others .................................... 54.08 

* Rate based on facts available with adverse 

inferences. 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 733(d)(2) 

of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

suspend liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise, as described in Appendix 

I, entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register, as discussed 

below. Further, pursuant to section 

733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP 

to require a cash deposit equal to the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin or the estimated all-others rate, 

as follows: (1) the cash deposit rate for 

the respondents listed above will be 

equal to the company-specific estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin 

determined in this preliminary 

determination; (2) if the exporter is not 

a respondent identified above, but the 

producer is, then the cash deposit rate 

will be equal to the company-specific 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin established for that producer of 

the subject merchandise; and (3) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

and exporters will be equal to the allothers estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin. 

Because the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for EMI is zero, 

entries of shipments of subject 

merchandise from EMI will not be 

subject to suspension of liquidation or 

cash deposit requirements. In such 

situations, Commerce applies the 

exclusion to the provisional measures to 

the producer/exporter combination that 

was examined in the investigation. 

Accordingly, Commerce is directing 

CBP not to suspend liquidation of 

entries of subject merchandise produced 

and exported by EMI. Entries of 

shipments of subject merchandise from 

this company in any other producer/ 

exporter combination, or by third 

parties that sourced subject 

merchandise from the excluded 

producer/exporter combination, are 

subject to the provisional measures at 

the all-others rate. 

Should the final estimated weightedaverage dumping margin be zero or de 

minimis for the producer/exporter

this producer/exporter combination will 

be excluded from the potential 

antidumping duty order. Such 

exclusions are not applicable to 

merchandise exported to the United 

States by this respondent in any other 

producer/exporter combinations or by 

third parties that sourced subject 

merchandise from the excluded 

producer/exporter combination. These 

suspension of liquidation measures will 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed in 

connection with this preliminary 

determination to interested parties 

within five days of any public 

announcement or, if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to verify the 

information relied upon in making its 

final determination. 

Public Comment 

Case briefs or other written comments 

may be submitted to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance no later than seven days 

after the date on which the last 

verification report is issued in this 

investigation. Rebuttal briefs, limited to 

issues raised in case briefs, may be 

submitted not later than five days after 

the date for filing case briefs.8 Interested 

parties who submit case or rebuttal 

briefs in this proceeding must submit: 

(1) a table of contents listing each issue; 

and (2) a table of authorities.9

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and d(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their brief that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this 

investigation, we instead request that 

interested parties provide at the 

beginning of their briefs a public, 

executive summary for each issue raised 

in their briefs.10 Further, we request that 

interested parties limit their executive 

summary of each issue to no more than 

450 words, not including citations. We 

intend to use the executive summaries 

as the basis of the comment summaries 

included in the issues and decision 

memorandum that will accompany the 

final determination in this investigation. 

We request that interested parties 

include footnotes for relevant citations 

in the executive summary of each issue. 

Note that Commerce has amended 

certain of its requirements pertaining to 

the service of documents in 19 CFR 

351.303(f).11

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. Requests 

should contain the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number, the 

number of participants, whether any 

participant is a foreign national, and a 

list of the issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, Commerce 

intends to hold the hearing at a time and 

date to be determined. Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. 

Postponement of Final Determination 

and Extension of Provisional Measures 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides 

that a final determination may be 

postponed until not later than 135 days 

after the date of the publication of the 

preliminary determination if, in the 

event of an affirmative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by exporters who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, or in 

the event of a negative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by the petitioner. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2), 

Commerce requires that requests by 

respondents for postponement of a final 

determination be accompanied by a 

request for extension of provisional 

measures from a four-month period to a 

period not more than six months in 

duration. On November 3, 2023, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), Edsal 

Manufacturing Co., Inc. (the petitioner), 

requested that Commerce postpone the 

final determination and that provisional 

measures be extended to a period not to 

exceed 135 days.12

On November 7, 2023, EMI also 

requested that Commerce postpone the 

final determination in the event the 

preliminary determination is affirmative 

and that provisional measures be 

extended to a period not to exceed six 

months.13 In accordance with section 

735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the 

preliminary determination is 

affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter 

accounts for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise; and 

(3) no compelling reasons for denial 

exist, Commerce is postponing the final 

determination and extending the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period not greater than six 

months. Accordingly, Commerce’s final 

determination will be issued no later 

than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

its preliminary determination of sales at 

LTFV. If the final determination is 

affirmative, the ITC will determine 

before the later of 120 days after the date 

of this preliminary determination or 45 

days after the final determination 

whether imports of the subject 

merchandise are materially injuring, or 

threaten material injury to, the U.S. 

industry. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.205(c). 

Dated: November 21, 2023.

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The scope of this investigation covers 

boltless steel shelving units prepackaged for 

sale, with or without decks (boltless steel 

shelving). The term ‘‘prepackaged for sale’’ 

means that, at a minimum, the steel vertical 

supports (i.e., uprights and posts) and steel 

horizontal supports (i.e., beams, braces) 

necessary to assemble a completed shelving 

unit (with or without decks) are packaged 

together for ultimate purchase by the enduser. The scope also includes add-on kits. 

Add-on kits include, but are not limited to, 

kits that allow the end-user to add an 

extension shelving unit onto an existing

Memorandum,’’ dated November 13, 2023 

(Preliminary Scope Decision Memorandum). 

boltless steel shelving unit such that the 

extension and the original unit will share 

common frame elements (e.g., two posts). 

The term ‘‘boltless’’ refers to steel shelving in 

which the vertical and horizontal supports 

forming the frame are assembled primarily 

without the use of nuts and bolts, or screws. 

The vertical and horizontal support members 

for boltless steel shelving are assembled by 

methods such as, but not limited to, fitting 

a rivet, punched or cut tab, or other similar 

connector on one support into a hole, slot or 

similar receptacle on another support. The 

supports lock together to form the frame for 

the shelving unit, and provide the structural 

integrity of the shelving unit separate from 

the inclusion of any decking. The incidental 

use of nuts and bolts, or screws to add 

accessories, wall anchors, tie-bars or shelf 

supports does not remove the product from 

scope. Boltless steel shelving units may also 

come packaged as partially assembled, such 

as when two upright supports are welded 

together with front-to-back supports, or are 

otherwise connected, to form an end unit for 

the frame. The boltless steel shelving covered 

by this investigation may be commonly 

described as rivet shelving, welded frame 

shelving, slot and tab shelving, and punched 

rivet (quasi-rivet) shelving as well as by other 

trade names. The term ‘‘deck’’ refers to the 

shelf that sits on or fits into the horizontal 

supports (beams or braces) to provide the 

horizontal storage surface of the shelving 

unit. 

The scope includes all boltless steel 

shelving meeting the description above, 

regardless of: (1) vertical support or post type 

(including but not limited to open post, 

closed post and tubing); (2) horizontal 

support or beam/brace profile (including but 

not limited to Z-beam, C-beam, L-beam, step 

beam and cargo rack); (3) number of 

supports; (4) surface coating (including but 

not limited to paint, epoxy, powder coating, 

zinc and other metallic coating); (5) number 

of levels; (6) weight capacity; (7) shape 

(including but not limited to rectangular, 

square, and corner units); (8) decking 

material (including but not limited to wire 

decking, particle board, laminated board or 

no deck at all); or (9) the boltless method by 

which vertical and horizontal supports 

connect (including but not limited to keyhole 

and rivet, slot and tab, welded frame, 

punched rivet and clip). 

Specifically excluded from the scope are: 

• wall-mounted shelving, defined as 

shelving that is hung on the wall and does 

not stand on, or transfer load to, the floor. 

The addition of a wall bracket or other device 

to attach otherwise freestanding subject 

merchandise to a wall does not meet the 

terms of this exclusion; 

• wire shelving units, which consist of 

shelves made from wire that incorporates 

both a wire deck and wire horizontal 

supports (taking the place of the horizontal 

beams and braces) into a single piece with 

tubular collars that slide over the posts and 

onto plastic sleeves snapped on the posts to 

create the finished shelving unit; 

• bulk-packed parts or components of 

boltless steel shelving units; and 

• made-to-order shelving systems. 

Subject boltless steel shelving enters the 

United States through Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

statistical subheading 9403.20.0075. While 

the HTSUS subheading is provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this 

investigation is dispositive.
