Boltless Steel Shelving Units 

Prepackaged for Sale from the 

People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

DATES: Effective Date: April 1, 2015. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) preliminarily 

determines that boltless steel shelving 

units prepackaged for sale from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) are 

being, or are likely to be, sold in the 

United States at less than fair value 

(‘‘LTFV’’), as provided in section 733 of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’). The period of investigation 

(‘‘POI’’) is January 1, 2014, through June 

30, 2014. The estimated margins of sales 

at LTFV are shown in the ‘‘Preliminary 

Determination’’ section of this notice. 

The final determination will be issued 

75 days after publication of this 

preliminary determination in the 

Federal Register. Interested parties are 

invited to comment on this preliminary 

determination.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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 end-user. 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)

to attach otherwise freestanding subject 

merchandise to a wall does not meet the terms of 

this exclusion.

coating (including but not limited to 

paint, epoxy, powder coating, zinc and 

other metallic coating); (5) number of

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; 1

• 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 subheadings 

9403.20.0018 and 9403.20.0020, but 

may also enter through HTSUS 

9403.10.0040. While HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and Customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this 

investigation is dispositive. 

Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. We calculated export 

prices and constructed export prices in 

accordance with section 772 of the Act. 

Because the PRC is a non-market 

economy within the meaning of section 

771(18) of the Act, normal value (‘‘NV’’) 

was calculated in accordance with 

section 773(c) of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum hereby adopted 

by this notice.2 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, and is available to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

room 7046 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the Internet at http:// 

trade.gov/enforcement//. The signed 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum and 

the electronic version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Combination Rates 

In the Initiation Notice,3 the 

Department stated that it would 

calculate combination rates for the 

respondents that are eligible for a 

separate rate in this investigation. Policy 

Bulletin 05.1 describes this practice.4

30 days after the date of publication of 

this notice.6 Hearing requests should 

contain the party’s name, address, and 

telephone number, the number of 

participants, and a list of the issues you 

intend to present at the hearing. If a 

request for a hearing is made, the 

Department intends to hold the hearing 

at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 

14th Street and Constitution Avenue 

NW., Washington, DC 20230, at a time 

and location to be determined. Parties 

should confirm by telephone the date, 

time, and location of the hearing two 

days before the scheduled date. 

Pursuant to section 735(a)(1) of the 

Act, we will make our final 

determination no later than 75 days 

after the date of publication of this 

preliminary determination. 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 733(d) of 

the Act the Department will instruct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(‘‘CBP’’) to suspend liquidation of all 

entries of boltless steel shelving units 

prepackaged for sale from the PRC, as 

described in the ‘‘Scope of the 

Investigation’’ section, entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(d), the 

Department will instruct CBP to require 

a cash deposit 7 equal to the weightedaverage amount by which NV exceeds 

U.S. price, adjusted where appropriate 

for export subsidies and estimated 

domestic subsidy pass-through,8 as 

follows: (1) the cash deposit rate for the 

exporter/producer combinations listed 

in the table above will be the rate the 

Department determines in this 

preliminary determination; (2) for all 

combinations of PRC exporters/

producers of merchandise under 

consideration that have not received 

their own separate rate above, the cashdeposit rate will be the cash deposit rate 

established for the PRC-wide entity; and 

(3) for all non-PRC exporters of 

merchandise under consideration which 

have not received their own separate 

rate above, the cash-deposit rate will be 

the cash deposit rate applicable to the 

PRC exporter/producer combination 

that supplied that non-PRC exporter. 

Furthermore, consistent with our 

practice, where the product under 

investigation is also subject to a 

concurrent countervailing duty 

investigation, we instruct CBP to require 

a cash deposit equal to the amount by 

which the normal value exceeds the 

export price or constructed export price, 

less the amount of the countervailing 

duty determined to constitute an export 

subsidy. In this LTFV investigation, 

export subsidies constitute 3.03 

percent 9 of the preliminarily calculated 

countervailing duty rate in the 

concurrent countervailing duty 

investigation, and, thus, we will offset 

the calculated rates for the mandatory 

respondents and the PRC-wide rate of 

112.68 percent by the countervailing 

duty rate attributable to export subsidies 

(i.e., 3.03 percent) to calculate the cash 

deposit rate for this LTFV investigation. 

Additionally, the Department did not 

adjust the preliminary determination 

AD margins for estimated domestic 

subsidy pass-through because 

respondents provided no information to 

support an adjustment pursuant to 

section 777A(f) of the Act.10

International Trade Commission 

(‘‘ITC’’) Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, we notified the ITC of our 

preliminary affirmative determination of 

sales at LTFV. Section 735(b)(2) of the 

Act requires the ITC to make its final 

determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports of 

boltless steel shelving units 

prepackaged for sale, or sales (or the 

likelihood of sales) for importation, of 

the merchandise under consideration 

within 45 days of our final 

determination. 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
