Amended Cash Deposits and 

Suspension of Liquidation 

The collection of cash deposits and 

suspension of liquidation will be 

revised according to the rates calculated 

in this amended preliminary 

determination, in accordance with 

section 773(d) of the Act. Because we 

are now making a negative 

determination of sales at LTFV for Siam 

Metal, we will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to 

discontinue the suspension of 

liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise made by Siam Metal and 

to liquidate all suspended entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

Because the all-others rate decreased as 

a result of this amended preliminary 

determination, the all others rate will be 

effective retroactively to November 29, 

2023, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination. We will also 

instruct CBP to issue a refund of the 

difference between the amount of cash 

deposits paid as a result of the 

application of the original Preliminary 

Determination cash deposit rates and 

the revised amounts due as a result of 

the amended preliminary 

determination. 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed to parties in this proceeding 

within five days after public 

announcement of the amended 

preliminary determination, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the U.S. 

International Trade Commission of our 

amended preliminary determination. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This amended preliminary 

determination is issues and published 

pursuant to sections 773(d) and 777(i) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e). 

Dated: December 22, 2023.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Operations. 

Appendix—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 include 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 these investigations 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.

Background 

Each year during the anniversary 

month of the publication of an 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation, an interested party, as 

defined in section 771(9) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), may 

request, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213, that the U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) conduct an 

administrative review of that 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation. 

All deadlines for the submission of 

comments or actions by Commerce 

discussed below refer to the number of 

calendar days from the applicable 

starting date. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event Commerce limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews 

initiated pursuant to requests made for 

the orders identified below, Commerce 

intends to select respondents based on 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) data for U.S. imports during the 

period of review. We intend to release 

the CBP data under Administrative 

Protective Order (APO) to all parties 

having an APO within five days of 

publication of the initiation notice and

Public Law 114–27, 129 Stat. 362 (2015). 

2Or the next business day, if the deadline falls 

on a weekend, federal holiday or any other day 

when Commerce is closed. 

to make our decision regarding 

respondent selection within 35 days of 

publication of the initiation Federal 

Register notice. Therefore, we 

encourage all parties interested in 

commenting on respondent selection to 

submit their APO applications on the 

date of publication of the initiation 

notice, or as soon thereafter as possible. 

Commerce invites comments regarding 

the CBP data and respondent selection 

within five days of placement of the 

CBP data on the record of the review. 

In the event Commerce decides it is 

necessary to limit individual 

examination of respondents and 

conduct respondent selection under 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act: 

In general, Commerce finds that 

determinations concerning whether 

particular companies should be 

‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., treated as a single 

entity for purposes of calculating 

antidumping duty rates) require a 

substantial amount of detailed 

information and analysis, which often 

require follow-up questions and 

analysis. Accordingly, Commerce will 

not conduct collapsing analyses at the 

respondent selection phase of a review 

and will not collapse companies at the 

respondent selection phase unless there 

has been a determination to collapse 

certain companies in a previous 

segment of this antidumping proceeding 

(i.e., investigation, administrative 

review, new shipper review or changed 

circumstances review). For any 

company subject to a review, if 

Commerce determined, or continued to 

treat, that company as collapsed with 

others, Commerce will assume that such 

companies continue to operate in the 

same manner and will collapse them for 

respondent selection purposes. 

Otherwise, Commerce will not collapse 

companies for purposes of respondent 

selection. Parties are requested to: (a) 

identify which companies subject to 

review previously were collapsed; and 

(b) provide a citation to the proceeding 

in which they were collapsed. Further, 

if companies are requested to complete 

a Quantity and Value Questionnaire for 

purposes of respondent selection, in 

general each company must report 

volume and value data separately for 

itself. Parties should not include data 

for any other party, even if they believe 

they should be treated as a single entity 

with that other party. If a company was 

collapsed with another company or 

companies in the most recently 

completed segment of a proceeding 

where Commerce considered collapsing 

that entity, complete quantity and value 

data for that collapsed entity must be 

submitted. 

Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for 

Administrative Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a 

party that requests a review may 

withdraw that request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. The 

regulation provides that Commerce may 

extend this time if it is reasonable to do 

so. Determinations by Commerce to 

extend the 90-day deadline will be 

made on a case-by-case basis. 

Deadline for Particular Market 

Situation Allegation 

Section 504 of the Trade Preferences 

Extension Act of 2015 amended the Act 

by adding the concept of particular 

market situation (PMS) for purposes of 

constructed value under section 773(e) 

of the Act.1 Section 773(e) of the Act 

states that ‘‘if a particular market 

situation exists such that the cost of 

materials and fabrication or other 

processing of any kind does not 

accurately reflect the cost of production 

in the ordinary course of trade, the 

administering authority may use 

another calculation methodology under 

this subtitle or any other calculation 

methodology.’’ When an interested 

party submits a PMS allegation pursuant 

to section 773(e) of the Act, Commerce 

will respond to such a submission 

consistent with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v). 

If Commerce finds that a PMS exists 

under section 773(e) of the Act, then it 

will modify its dumping calculations 

appropriately. 

Neither section 773(e) of the Act nor 

19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v) set a deadline 

for the submission of PMS allegations 

and supporting factual information. 

However, in order to administer section 

773(e) of the Act, Commerce must 

receive PMS allegations and supporting 

factual information with enough time to 

consider the submission. Thus, should 

an interested party wish to submit a 

PMS allegation and supporting new 

factual information pursuant to section 

773(e) of the Act, it must do so no later 

than 20 days after submission of initial 

Section D responses. 

Opportunity to Request a Review: Not 

later than the last day of January 2024,2

interested parties may request 

administrative review of the following 

orders, findings, or suspended 

investigations, with anniversary dates in 

January for the following periods:

Suspension Agreements 

None. 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), an interested party as 

defined by section 771(9) of the Act may 

request in writing that the Secretary 

conduct an administrative review. For 

both antidumping and countervailing 

duty reviews, the interested party must 

specify the individual producers or 

exporters covered by an antidumping 

finding or an antidumping or 

countervailing duty order or suspension 

agreement for which it is requesting a 

review. In addition, a domestic 

interested party or an interested party 

described in section 771(9)(B) of the Act 

must state why it desires the Secretary 

to review those particular producers or 

exporters. If the interested party intends 

for the Secretary to review sales of 

merchandise by an exporter (or a 

producer if that producer also exports 

merchandise from other suppliers) 

which was produced in more than one 

country of origin and each country of 

origin is subject to a separate order, then 

the interested party must state 

specifically, on an order-by-order basis, 

which exporter(s) the request is 

intended to cover. 

Note that, for any party Commerce 

was unable to locate in prior segments, 

Commerce will not accept a request for 

an administrative review of that party 

absent new information as to the party’s 

location. Moreover, if the interested 

party who files a request for review is 

unable to locate the producer or 

exporter for which it requested the 

review, the interested party must 

provide an explanation of the attempts 

it made to locate the producer or 

exporter at the same time it files its 

request for review, in order for the 

Secretary to determine if the interested 

party’s attempts were reasonable, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.303(f)(3)(ii). 

As explained in Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), and NonMarket Economy Antidumping 

Proceedings: Assessment of 

Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 

(October 24, 2011), Commerce clarified 

its practice with respect to the 

collection of final antidumping duties 

on imports of merchandise where 

intermediate firms are involved. The 

public should be aware of this 

clarification in determining whether to 

request an administrative review of 

merchandise subject to antidumping 

findings and orders.3

Commerce no longer considers the 

non-market economy (NME) entity as an 

exporter conditionally subject to an 

antidumping duty administrative 

reviews.4 Accordingly, the NME entity 

will not be under review unless 

Commerce specifically receives a 

request for, or self-initiates, a review of 

the NME entity.5 In administrative 

reviews of antidumping duty orders on 

merchandise from NME countries where 

a review of the NME entity has not been 

initiated, but where an individual 

exporter for which a review was 

initiated does not qualify for a separate 

rate, Commerce will issue a final 

decision indicating that the company in 

question is part of the NME entity. 

However, in that situation, because no 

review of the NME entity was 

conducted, the NME entity’s entries 

were not subject to the review and the 

rate for the NME entity is not subject to 

change as a result of that review 

(although the rate for the individual 

exporter may change as a function of the 

finding that the exporter is part of the 

NME entity). Following initiation of an 

antidumping administrative review 

when there is no review requested of the 

NME entity, Commerce will instruct 

CBP to liquidate entries for all exporters 

not named in the initiation notice, 

including those that were suspended at 

the NME entity rate. 

All requests must be filed 

electronically in Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS) on 

Enforcement and Compliance’s ACCESS 

website at https://access.trade.gov.6

Further, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.303(f)(l)(i), a copy of each request 

must be served on the petitioner and 

each exporter or producer specified in 

the request. Note that Commerce has 

amended certain of its requirements 

pertaining to the service of documents 

in 19 CFR 351.303(f).7

Commerce will publish in the Federal 

Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation of 

Administrative Review of Antidumping 

or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, 

or Suspended Investigation’’ for 

requests received by the last day of 

January 2024. If Commerce does not 

receive, by the last day of January 2024, 

a request for review of entries covered 

by an order, finding, or suspended 

investigation listed in this notice and for 

the period identified above, Commerce

on entries of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption during the relevant 

provisional-measures ‘‘gap’’ period of 

the order, if such a gap period is 

applicable to the period of review. 

Establishment of and Updates to the 

Annual Inquiry Service List 

On September 20, 2021, Commerce 

published the final rule titled 

‘‘Regulations to Improve Administration 

and Enforcement of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Laws’’ in the 

Federal Register.8 On September 27, 

2021, Commerce also published the 

notice entitled ‘‘Scope Ruling 

Application; Annual Inquiry Service 

List; and Informational Sessions’’ in the 

Federal Register.9 The Final Rule and 

Procedural Guidance provide that 

Commerce will maintain an annual 

inquiry service list for each order or 

suspended investigation, and any 

interested party submitting a scope 

ruling application or request for 

circumvention inquiry shall serve a 

copy of the application or request on the 

persons on the annual inquiry service 

list for that order, as well as any 

companion order covering the same 

merchandise from the same country of 

origin.10

In accordance with the Procedural 

Guidance, for orders published in the 

Federal Register before November 4, 

2021, Commerce created an annual 

inquiry service list segment for each 

order and suspended investigation. 

Interested parties who wished to be 

added to the annual inquiry service list 

for an order submitted an entry of 

appearance to the annual inquiry 

service list segment for the order in 

ACCESS, and on November 4, 2021, 

Commerce finalized the initial annual 

inquiry service lists for each order and 

suspended investigation. Each annual 

inquiry service list has been saved as a 

public service list in ACCESS, under 

each case number, and under a specific 

segment type called ‘‘AISL-Annual 

Inquiry Service List.’’ 11

As mentioned in the Procedural 

Guidance, beginning in January 2022, 

Commerce will update these annual 

inquiry service lists on an annual basis 

when the Opportunity Notice for the 

anniversary month of the order or 

suspended investigation is published in 

the Federal Register.12 Accordingly, 

Commerce will update the annual 

inquiry service lists for the above-listed 

antidumping and countervailing duty 

proceedings. All interested parties 

wishing to appear on the updated 

annual inquiry service list must take 

one of the two following actions: (1) 

new interested parties who did not 

previously submit an entry of 

appearance must submit a new entry of 

appearance at this time; (2) interested 

parties who were included in the 

preceding annual inquiry service list 

must submit an amended entry of 

appearance to be included in the next 

year’s annual inquiry service list. For 

these interested parties, Commerce will 

change the entry of appearance status 

from ‘‘Active’’ to ‘‘Needs Amendment’’ 

for the annual inquiry service lists 

corresponding to the above-listed 

proceedings. This will allow those 

interested parties to make any necessary 

amendments and resubmit their entries 

of appearance. If no amendments need 

to be made, the interested party should 

indicate in the area on the ACCESS form 

requesting an explanation for the 

amendment that it is resubmitting its 

entry of appearance for inclusion in the 

annual inquiry service list for the 

following year. As mentioned in the 

Final Rule,13 once the petitioners and 

foreign governments have submitted an 

entry of appearance for the first time, 

they will automatically be added to the 

updated annual inquiry service list each 

year. 

Interested parties have 30 days after 

the date of this notice to submit new or 

amended entries of appearance. 

Commerce will then finalize the annual 

inquiry service lists five business days 

thereafter. For ease of administration, 

please note that Commerce requests that 

law firms with more than one attorney 

representing interested parties in a 

proceeding designate a lead attorney to 

be included on the annual inquiry 

service list. 

Commerce may update an annual 

inquiry service list at any time as 

needed based on interested parties’ 

amendments to their entries of 

appearance to remove or otherwise 

modify their list of members and 

representatives, or to update contact 

information. Any changes or 

announcements pertaining to these 

procedures will be posted to the 

ACCESS website at https://

access.trade.gov. 

Special Instructions for Petitioners and 

Foreign Governments 

In the Final Rule, Commerce stated 

that, ‘‘after an initial request and 

placement on the annual inquiry service 

list, both petitioners and foreign 

governments will automatically be 

placed on the annual inquiry service list 

in the years that follow.’’ 14

Accordingly, as stated above and 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(n)(3), the 

petitioners and foreign governments 

will not need to resubmit their entries 

of appearance each year to continue to 

be included on the annual inquiry 

service list. However, the petitioners 

and foreign governments are responsible 

for making amendments to their entries 

of appearance during the annual update 

to the annual inquiry service list in 

accordance with the procedures 

described above. 

This notice is not required by statute 

but is published as a service to the 

international trading community.
