SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 15, 2013, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD order on large residential washers 

from Mexico.1 On April 1, 2024, the ITC 

instituted,2 and Commerce initiated,3

the second sunset review of the Order, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

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

a result of its review, Commerce 

determined that revocation of the Order 

would likely lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of dumping, and therefore, 

notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 

margins of dumping likely to prevail 

should the Order be revoked.4

On October 9, 2024, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, 

that revocation of the Order would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the Order 

are all large residential washers and 

certain subassemblies thereof from 

Mexico. For purposes of the order, the 

term ‘‘large residential washers’’ 

denotes all automatic clothes washing 

machines, regardless of the orientation 

of the rotational axis, except as noted 

below, with a cabinet width (measured 

from its widest point) of at least 24.5 

inches (62.23 cm) and no more than 

32.0 inches (81.28 cm). Also covered are 

certain subassemblies used in large 

residential washers, namely: (1) all 

assembled cabinets designed for use in 

large residential washers which 

incorporate, at a minimum: (a) At least 

three of the six cabinet surfaces; and (b) 

a bracket; (2) all assembled tubs 6

designed for use in large residential 

washers which incorporate, at a 

minimum: (a) a tub; and (b) a seal; (3) 

all assembled baskets 7 designed for use 

in large residential washers which 

incorporate, at a minimum: (a) a side 

wrapper; 8 (b) a base; and (c) a drive 

hub; 9 and (4) any combination of the 

foregoing subassemblies. 

The products are currently classifiable 

under subheadings 8450.20.0040 and 

8450.20.0080 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS).10 Products subject to this 

Order may also enter under HTSUS 

subheadings 8450.11.0040, 

8450.11.0080, 8450.90.2000, and 

8450.90.6000. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

subject to this scope is dispositive.11

Continuation of the Order 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Order would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby 

orders the continuation of the Order. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD cash deposits at 

the rates in effect at the time of entry for 

all imports of subject merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Order will be October 9, 2024.12

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

review of the Order not later than 30 

days prior to fifth anniversary of the 

date of the last determination by the 

ITC. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to interested parties subject to 

an APO of their responsibility 

concerning the return or destruction of 

proprietary information disclosed under 

APO in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.305(a)(3), which continues to 

govern business proprietary information 

in this segment of the proceeding. 

Timely written notification of the return 

or destruction of APO materials, or 

conversion to judicial protective order, 

is hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a violation which is subject to 

sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This five-year (sunset) review and this 

notice are in accordance with sections 

751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act and 

published in accordance with section 

777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4).
