DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

International Trade Administration 

[A–570–827] 

Certain Cased Pencils From the 

People’s Republic of China: Notice of 

Initiation and Preliminary Results of 

Antidumping Duty Changed 

Circumstances Review 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) has received 

information sufficient to warrant 

initiation of a changed circumstances 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on certain cased pencils (pencils) from 

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

Based upon the request, the Department 

is initiating a changed circumstances 

review (CCR) to determine whether 

pencils exported by Beijing FILA Dixon 

Stationery Co., Ltd.2 (Beijing Dixon) 

continue not to be subject to the Order. 

In response to the request, and pursuant 

to section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), 19 CFR 

351.216, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), the 

Department preliminarily determines 

that Beijing Dixon, after the changed 

circumstances, is the successor-ininterest to Beijing Dixon at the time of 

the Revocation, such that the revocation 

of the antidumping duty order with 

respect to Beijing Dixon 3 continues to 

apply to Beijing Dixon as currently 

structured. We invite interested parties 

to comment on these preliminary 

results. 

DATES: Effective: February 26, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Sergio Balbontin, AD/CVD Operations, 

Office I, Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce, 14th Street 

and Constitution Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 

482–6478. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 28, 1994, the Department 

published the Order on pencils from the 

PRC.4 On July 18, 2013, the Department 

revoked the Order on pencils from the 

PRC with respect to pencils exported by 

Beijing Dixon.5

Background 

On November 27, 2014, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.216 and 19 CFR 351.221, 

Beijing Dixon, and the Dixon 

Ticonderoga Company (Ticonderoga), 

Beijing Dixon’s U.S. parent company, 

requested a CCR because Beijing Dixon’s 

production of pencils is now performed 

by Fila Dixon Stationery (Kunshan) Co., 

Ltd. (Kunshan Dixon), a wholly-owned 

subsidiary of Beijing Dixon formed after 

the Revocation.6 Beijing Dixon and 

Dixon Ticonderoga requested that the 

Department ‘‘confirm that {Kunshan 

Dixon} is the same entity as (or 

successor-in-interest to) Beijing 

Dixon.’’ 7 Beijing Dixon produced and 

exported pencils at the time of the 

Revocation. Beijing Dixon has since 

amended its business license and 

continues to function as the exporter of 

pencils, now produced by its subsidiary 

Kunshan Dixon.8 Based on these events 

since the Revocation, Ticonderoga and 

Beijing Dixon contend that Kunshan 

Dixon is the successor-in-interest to 

Beijing Dixon; as such, they request that 

the Department apply its determination 

to revoke the Order with respect to 

Beijing Dixon to pencils produced by 

Kunshan Dixon and exported by Beijing 

Dixon. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the order 

includes pencils from the PRC. Pencils 

are currently classifiable under 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheading 

9609.1010. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written product description is 

dispositive.9

Methodology 

In making a successor-in-interest 

determination, the Department typically 

examines several factors including, but 

not limited to, changes in: (1) 

Management; (2) production facilities; 

(3) supplier relationships; and (4) 

customer base.10 While no single factor 

or combination of factors will 

necessarily be dispositive, the 

Department generally will consider the 

new company to be the successor to the 

predecessor if the resulting operations 

of the successor are not materially 

dissimilar to that of its predecessor.11
