11See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Petitioner’s Request for 

Postponement of Final Determination,’’ dated 

November 3, 2023. 

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.11

On November 7, 2023, pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.210(e), Shin Yeh 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. 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 will 

make its final determination 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. 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 

these imports 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 

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 

description of the scope of this investigation 

is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 22, 2021, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on thermal 

paper from the Republic of Korea 

(Korea).1 On November 1, 2022, 

Commerce published in the Federal 

Register a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

Order for the POR.2 On January 3, 2023, 

based on timely requests for review, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 

administrative review of the Order 

covering one company, Hansol Paper 

Company (Hansol).3 On June 27, 2023, 

we extended the preliminary results of 

this review to no later than November 

21, 2023.4 For a complete description of 

the events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.5

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is thermal paper from Korea. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

We calculated export price and 

constructed export price in accordance 

with section 772 of the Act. We 

calculated NV in accordance with 

section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying these 

preliminary results, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

topics included in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is attached as an 

appendix to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine the following 

weighted-average dumping margin 

exists for the period May 12, 2021, 

through October 31, 2022: 

Producer or exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Hansol Paper Company ....... 2.09 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of this 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review. Pursuant 

to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because Hansol 

reported the entered value for all of its 

U.S. sales, we calculated importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment 

rates based on the ratio of the total 

amount of dumping calculated for the 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of the sales for which entered 

value was reported. Where either 

Hansol’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an 

importer-specific rate is zero or de 

minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’ 

practice will apply to entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by Hansol for which it did not know 

that the merchandise it sold to an 

intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading 

company, or exporter) was destined for 

the United States. In such instances, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate those 

entries at the all-others rate if there is no 

rate for the intermediate company(ies) 

involved in the transaction.6

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final results 

of this review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated duties, where 

applicable. Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions 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). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective for all shipments of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided by 

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

cash deposit rate for the company listed 

above will be that established in the 

final results of this review, except if the 

rate is less than 0.50 percent and, 

therefore, de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in 

which case the cash deposit rate will be 

zero; (2) for previously investigated or 

reviewed companies not covered in this 

review, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific 

cash deposit rate published for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which the company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, or the lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but 

the manufacturer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate established 

for the most recent segment for the 

manufacturer of the merchandise; and 

(4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

manufacturers or exporters will 

continue to be 6.19 percent, the allothers rate established in the LTFV 

investigation.7 These cash deposit

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed for these preliminary results 

to interested parties within five days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice.8 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), 

interested parties may submit case briefs 

to Commerce no later than 30 days after 

the date of publication of this notice. 

Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised 

in the case briefs, may be filed not later 

than five days after the date for filing 

case briefs.9 Interested parties who 

submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in 

this proceeding must submit: (1) a table 

of contents listing each issue; and (2) a 

table of authorities.10

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 briefs that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this review, we 

instead request that interested parties 

provide at the beginning of their briefs 

a public, executive summary for each 

issue raised in their briefs.11 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 results in this 

administrative review. We request that 

interested parties include footnotes for 

relevant citations in the executive 

summary of each issue. 

All submissions, including case and 

rebuttal briefs, as well as hearing 

requests, should be filed using 

ACCESS.12 An electronically-filed 

document must be received successfully 

in its entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on the established 

deadline. Note that Commerce has 

amended certain of its requirements 

pertaining to the service of documents 

in 19 CFR 351.303(f).13

Interested parties who wish to request 

a hearing must do so within 30 days of 

publication of these preliminary results 

by submitting a written request to the 

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance via ACCESS.14 Hearing 

requests should contain: (1) the party’s 

name, address, and telephone number; 

(2) the number of participants; and (3) 

a list of issues to be discussed. Oral 

presentations at the hearing will be 

limited to issues raised in the briefs.15

If a request for a hearing is made, parties 

will be notified of the time and date for 

the hearing.16

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis 

raised in any written briefs, not later 

than 120 days after the publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register, 

pursuant to 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 

19 CFR 351.213(h)(1). 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 review 

period. 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 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.213 and 351.221(b)(4).
