Boltless Steel Shelving Units 

Prepackaged for Sale From the 

People’s Republic of China: Amended 

Preliminary Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value and 

Postponement of Final Determination 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On April 1, 2015, the 

Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) published the 

Preliminary Determination of sales at 

less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’) in the 

antidumping duty investigation of 

boltless steel shelving units 

prepackaged for sale (‘‘boltless steel 

shelving’’) from the People’s Republic of 

China (‘‘PRC’’).1 We are amending our 

Preliminary Determination to correct a 

ministerial error with respect to the 

identification of companies receiving a 

separate rate. Specifically, we are 

amending the Preliminary 

Determination to grant a separate rate to 

HoiFat (NingBo) Office Facilities Co., 

Ltd. (‘‘Hoifat’’). 

DATES: Effective: April 1, 2015.

482–2593. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As noted 

above, on April 1, 2015, the Department 

published in the Federal Register the 

Preliminary Determination that boltless 

steel shelving from the PRC is being, or 

is likely to be, sold in the United States 

at LTFV, as provided in section 733 of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(‘‘Act’’).2 On March 30, 2015, Hoifat 

filed timely allegations of ministerial 

errors contained in the Department’s 

Preliminary Determination.3

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation (‘‘POI’’) is 

January 1, 2014, through June 30, 2014.4

Scope of 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. 

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.5

Significant Ministerial Error 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e) and 

(g)(1), the Department is amending the 

Preliminary Determination to reflect the 

correction of a significant ministerial 

error it made in the margin assigned to 

Hoifat, a separate rate applicant. A 

ministerial error is defined as errors in 

addition, subtraction, or other 

arithmetic function, clerical error 

resulting from inaccurate copying, 

duplication, or the like, and any other 

similar type of unintentional error 

which the Secretary considers 

ministerial.6 A significant ministerial 

error is defined as a ministerial error, 

the correction of which, singly or in 

combination with other errors, would 

result in (1) a change of at least five 

absolute percentage points in, but not 

less than 25 percent of, the weightedaverage dumping margin calculated in 

the original (erroneous) preliminary 

determination, or (2) a difference 

between a weighted-average dumping 

margin of zero or de minimis and a 

weighted-average dumping margin of 

greater than de minimis or vice versa.7

As a result of this amended preliminary 

determination, we have added Hoifat to 

the list of exporters that received a 

separate rate.8

Ministerial Error Allegations 

On March 30, 2015, Hoifat, a separate 

rate applicant,9 submitted a ministerial 

error allegation claiming that although 

Hoifat filed a quantity and value 

response and a separate rate application 

in this investigation, its separate rate 

status was not analyzed and it was not 

named in the Preliminary Determination 

as one of the exporters receiving a 

separate rate.10 The Department 

reviewed the record and agrees that this 

constitutes a significant ministerial error 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.224(g). In its SRA, Hoifat submitted 

information supporting a preliminary 

finding of an absence of de jure and de 

facto government control.11

Accordingly, we preliminarily 

determine that Hoifat is eligible for a 

separate rate, because the failure to 

conduct a separate rate analysis was an 

unintentional error. Further, this error 

was significant because Hoifat’s margin 

increased from the separate rate of 52.23 

to the PRC-wide rate of 112.68 as a 

result of this error, thus exceeding the 

significant error threshold because a 

correction of this error results in a 

change of at least five absolute 

percentage points. 

The collection of cash deposits and 

suspension of liquidation will be 

revised accordingly in accordance with

Postponement of the Final 

Determination 

In the Preliminary Determination, the 

Department stated that it would make 

its final determination for this 

antidumping duty investigation no later 

than 75 days after the preliminary 

determination. 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 

1930 (‘‘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 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 petitioner. In addition, section 

351.210(e)(2) of the Department’s 

regulations require 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 

not more than six months. 

On April 7, 2015, Zhongda United 

Holding Group Co., Ltd., one of the two 

mandatory respondents in this 

investigation, requested a 60-day 

extension of the final determination and 

extension of the provisional measures. 

Thus, because our amended preliminary 

determination is affirmative, and the 

respondent requesting a postponement 

of the final determination and an 

extension of the provisional measures 

accounts for a significant proportion of 

exports of boltless steel shelving, and no 

compelling reasons for denial exist, we 

are postponing the deadline for the final 

determination by 60 days until August 

14, 2015, based on the publication date 

of the 

Preliminary Determination 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, we notified the International 

Trade Commission of our amended 

preliminary determination. 

This amended preliminary 

determination is issued and published 

in accordance with sections 733(f) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.224(e). 

Dated: April 10, 2015.
