certain AWC inputs manufactured in 

the People’s Republic of China (China) 

are not covered by the scope of the 

antidumping duty (AD) and 

countervailing duty (CVD) orders on 

AWC from China. In addition, 

Commerce determines that AWC 

completed in Vietnam using certain 

AWC inputs manufactured in China are 

circumventing the AD and CVD orders 

on AWC from China. 

DATES: Applicable January 27, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 23, 2019, Commerce 

published the orders in the Federal 

Register.1 On October 19, 2023, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(b), 

Commerce self-initiated scope inquiries 

to determine whether imports of AWC 

completed in Cambodia, Korea, and 

Vietnam using inputs manufactured in 

China are covered by the Orders.2

Commerce also, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.226(b) and section 781(b) of the 

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

self-initiated country-wide 

circumvention inquiries to determine 

whether imports of AWC from 

Cambodia, Korea, and Vietnam, if 

outside of the scope of the Orders, are, 

nonetheless, circumventing the Orders.3

On August 7, 2024, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register its 

Preliminary Determinations that imports 

of AWC completed in Vietnam using 

certain AWC inputs manufactured in 

China are not covered by the scope of 

the AD and CVD orders on AWC from 

China and, that imports of AWC 

completed in Vietnam using certain 

AWC inputs are circumventing Orders.4

Pursuant to section 781(e) of the Tariff 

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

August 13, 2024, Commerce notified the 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

(ITC) of its preliminary affirmative 

determination of circumvention with 

respect to Vietnam.5 The ITC did not 

request consultations with Commerce. 

Between September and October 

2024, Commerce conducted verification 

of the questionnaire responses 

submitted by the Vietnamese 

respondents, ICF Cable Co. Ltd. (ICF) 

and Tanghenam Electric Wire and Cable 

Co., Ltd. (Tanghenam).6

On December 12, 2024, Commerce 

extended the deadline for the final 

determination of this circumvention 

inquiry to January 8, 2025.7 On January 

6, 2025, Commerce further extended the 

deadline for the final determination to 

January 17, 2025.8 For a summary of 

events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Determinations, as well as a 

full discussion of the issues raised by 

parties for consideration in the final 

determination, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.9 The Issues and 

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 https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Orders 

The products subject to the Orders are 

aluminum wire and cable. For a full 

description of the scope of the Orders, 

see Appendix I of this notice. 

Merchandise Subject to the Scope and 

Circumvention Inquiries 

These inquiries cover AWC assembled 

or completed in Vietnam using Chineseorigin AWC inputs (e.g., stranded wire 

and cables or unfinished AWC) that is 

subsequently exported from Vietnam to 

the United States (inquiry merchandise). 

These inquiries cover exports of AWC 

from Vietnam that are assembled or 

completed using inputs of Chinese 

origin which undergo further processing 

in Vietnam. For a full description of the 

merchandise subject to the scope and 

circumvention inquiries, see Appendix 

II of this notice. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in this inquiry are 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of the issues raised 

is attached to this notice in Appendix 

III. Based on our analysis of the 

comments received from Encore Wire 

Corporation (Encore), a domestic 

interested party and Tanghenam, we 

made changes from the Preliminary 

Determinations. Specifically, we 

applied partial adverse facts available 

(AFA) to our circumvention 

determination under sections 

781(b)(2)(E) and 781(b)(1)(D) of the Act 

with respect to Tanghenam. 

Furthermore, we are precluding 

Tanghenam from participating in the 

certification program for exports of 

AWC completed in Vietnam and 

subsequently exported to the United 

States; as well as not allowing 

Tanghenam to certify.

Methodology and Final Scope Ruling 

Commerce conducted this scope 

inquiry in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.225(k)(1), and made no changes to 

its methodology for this final scope 

ruling. Specifically, as discussed in the 

Preliminary Determinations, Commerce 

finds that AWC produced in Vietnam 

using Chinese-sourced inputs that do 

not satisfy the physical description of 

the scope of the Orders is not subject to 

the Orders.10

Methodology and Final Circumvention 

Determination 

Commerce conducted this 

circumvention inquiry in accordance 

with section 781(a) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.226. Furthermore, as discussed 

in the Preliminary Determinations and 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

Commerce determines that U.S. imports 

of inquiry merchandise from Vietnam 

are circumventing the Orders.11 We 

have continued to apply this 

methodology and incorporate by 

reference this description of the 

methodology for our final determination 

for ICF.12

With regard to Tanghenam, 

Commerce has revised its preliminary 

circumvention analysis by relying on 

partial facts available with an adverse 

inference under section 776 of the Act 

for the purpose of reaching 

determinations under sections 

781(b)(2)(E) and 781(b)(1)(D) of the Act 

as discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum and in the ‘‘Use of Facts 

Available’’ section below. 

Commerce is making its final 

affirmative determination of 

circumvention on a country-wide basis. 

As a result, in accordance with section 

781(b) of the Act, Commerce determines 

that the inquiry merchandise exported 

from Vietnam should be included 

within the scope of the Orders. 

We determine that Vietnamese-origin 

AWC produced by ICF and Tanghenam 

with Chinese-origin aluminum inputs is 

circumventing the Orders. We also 

determine that U.S. imports of 

Vietnamese-origin AWC produced with 

Chinese-sourced inputs are 

circumventing the Orders on a countrywide basis. As a result, in accordance 

with section 781(a) of the Act, we 

determine that this merchandise is 

covered by the Orders.13 See the 

‘‘Certified Entries,’’ ‘‘Certification,’’ and 

‘‘Certification Requirements’’ sections, 

below, for details regarding the use of 

certifications. See the ‘‘Suspension of 

Liquidation and Cash Deposit 

Requirements’’ section, below, for 

details regarding suspension of 

liquidation and cash deposit 

requirements. 

Application of AFA 

In this final determination, Commerce 

finds that necessary information is not 

available on the record with respect to 

Tanghenam within the meaning of 

section 776(a)(1) of the Act. Tanghenam 

withheld requested information, failed 

to provide requested information by the 

deadline or in the form or manner 

requested, and significantly impeded 

the inquiry pursuant to sections 

776(a)(1), (A), (B), and (C) of the Act. 

Moreover, Commerce finds that this 

company failed to cooperate by not 

acting to the best of its ability to provide 

the requested information pursuant to 

section 776(b)(1) of the Act. 

Consequently, we are relying on the 

application of partial adverse inferences 

with respect to Tanghenam in selecting 

from among the facts otherwise 

available on the record, pursuant to 

sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act; 

specifically, we have relied on AFA in 

reaching determinations under sections 

781(b)(2)(E) and 781(b)(1)(D) of the 

Act.14

Suspension of Liquidation and Cash 

Deposits 

Based on the affirmative country-wide 

determinations of circumvention, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(l)(3), 

we will direct CBP to suspend 

liquidation and require a cash deposit of 

estimated duties on unliquidated entries 

of AWC completed or assembled 

Vietnam using Chinese-origin 

aluminum rod, aluminum wire, or 

aluminum wire strand, that were 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after October 19, 

2023, the date of publication of the 

Initiation Notice. In accordance with 19 

CFR 351.226(l)(3), we will direct CBP to 

continue the suspension of liquidation 

of previously suspended entries and to 

suspend liquidation of all entries of 

AWC completed or assembled in 

Vietnam from Chinese-origin aluminum 

rod, aluminum wire, or aluminum wire 

strand that are entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after October 19, 2023 (i.e., the date of 

publication of the Initiation Notice).15

For all suspended U.S. entries of 

inquiry merchandise, the antidumping 

duty cash deposit rate will be the cash 

deposit rate for the China-wide entity 

(i.e., 52.79 percent).16 For all suspended 

U.S. entries of inquiry merchandise, the 

CVD cash deposit rate will be the allothers rate (i.e., 33.44 percent).14

Commerce has established the following 

third-country case numbers in the 

Automated Commercial Environment 

(ACE) for such entries: A–552–095–000/ 

C–552–096–000. 

Cash deposits for exports of AWC 

from Vietnam already subject to the 

Orders should continue to be collected 

in accordance with existing CBP 

instructions and Chinese ACE numbers 

for such entries: A–570–095/C–570–096. 

These suspension of liquidation 

instructions and cash deposit 

requirements will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Certified Entries 

Entries for which the importer and 

exporter have met the certification 

requirements described below and in 

Appendix IV to this notice will not be 

subject to suspension of liquidation, or 

the cash deposit requirements described 

above. Failure to comply with the 

applicable requisite certification 

requirements may result in the 

merchandise being subject to AD and 

CVD duties. 

Certification 

For Tanghenam, which will not be 

permitted to certify that its merchandise 

was not produced from China-origin 

inputs, Commerce will direct CBP, for 

all entries of AWC from Vietnam 

produced or exported by Tanghenam, to 

suspend liquidation and require a cash 

deposit at the rate applicable to the AD 

and CVD orders on AWC from China 

(i.e, the AD cash deposit rate established 

for China-wide entity (52.79 percent) 

and the CVD cash deposit rate 

established for all-others (33.44 

percent). These suspension of 

liquidation instructions will remain in 

effect until further notice. 

To administer the final country-wide 

affirmative circumvention 

determination for Vietnam, Commerce 

has established importer and exporter 

certifications as provided for in 

Appendix IV to this notice. These 

certifications will permit eligible 

importers and exporters to establish that 

specific entries of AWC from Vietnam 

are not subject to suspension of 

liquidation or the collection of cash 

deposits pursuant to these final countrywide affirmative determinations of 

circumvention because the merchandise 

was processed in Vietnam and does not 

incorporate Chinese-sourced inputs.

8198 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 16 / Monday, January 27, 2025 / Notices 

17See Orders. 

Importers and exporters that claim that 

an entry of AWC is not subject to 

suspension of liquidation or the 

collection of cash deposits because the 

merchandise was processed in Vietnam 

and does not incorporate Chinesesourced inputs must certify that these 

products satisfy the requirements of 

these certification requirements as 

described in Appendix IV of this notice. 

Certification Requirements 

Importers are required to complete 

and maintain the applicable importer 

certification, and maintain a copy of the 

applicable exporter certification, and 

retain all supporting documentation for 

both certifications. Unless otherwise 

specified, the, the importer certification 

must be completed, signed, and dated 

by the time the entry summary is filed 

for the relevant entry. The importer, or 

the importer’s agent, must submit both 

the importer’s certification and the 

exporter’s certification to CBP as part of 

the entry process by uploading them 

into the document imaging system (DIS) 

in ACE. Where the importer uses a 

broker to facilitate the entry process, the 

importer should obtain the entry 

summary number from the broker. 

Agents of the importer, such as a broker, 

however, are not permitted to certify on 

behalf of the importer. 

Exporters are required to complete 

and maintain the applicable exporter 

certification and provide the importer 

with a copy of that certification and all 

supporting documentation (e.g., invoice, 

purchase order, production records, 

etc.). With the exception of the entries 

described below, the exporter 

certification must be completed, signed, 

and dated by the time of shipment of the 

relevant entries. The exporter 

certification should be completed by the 

party selling the AWC that was 

manufactured in Vietnam to the United 

States. 

Additionally, the claims made in the 

certifications and any supporting 

documentation are subject to 

verification by Commerce or CBP or 

both Commerce and CBP. Importers and 

exporters are required to maintain the 

certifications and supporting 

documentation until the later of: (1) the 

date that is five years after the latest 

entry date of the entries covered by the 

certification; or (2) the date that is three 

years after the conclusion of any 

litigation in United States courts 

regarding such entries. 

For all AWC from Vietnam that was 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption during the period 

October 19, 2023 (the date of initiation 

of this circumvention inquiry), through 

the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determinations in the 

Federal Register, where the entry has 

not been liquidated (and entries for 

which liquidation has not become final), 

the relevant certification should already 

be complete and signed. 

For unliquidated entries (and entries 

for which liquidation has not become 

final) of AWC that were declared as 

non-AD/CVD type entries (e.g., type 01) 

and entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption in the 

United States during the period October 

19, 2023 (the date of initiation of these 

circumvention inquiries), through the 

date of publication of the Preliminary 

Determinations in the Federal Register, 

for which none of the above 

certifications may be made, importers 

must file a Post Summary Correction 

with CBP, in accordance with CBP’s 

regulations, regarding conversion of 

such entries from non-AD/CVD type 

entries to AD/CVD type entries (e.g., 

type 01 to type 03). Importers should 

report those AD/CVD type entries using 

the third country CBP case numbers 

identified in the ‘‘Suspension of 

Liquidation and Cash Deposit 

Requirements’’ section, above. The 

importer should post cash deposits on 

those entries consistent with the 

regulations governing post summary 

corrections that require payment of 

additional duties, including AD/CVD 

duties. 

If it is determined that an importer or 

exporter has not met the certification 

and related documentation 

requirements for certain entries, 

Commerce intends to instruct CBP to 

suspend, pursuant to this country-wide 

affirmative determination of 

circumvention and the Orders,17 all 

unliquidated entries for which these 

requirements were not met and require 

the importer to post applicable cash 

deposits equal to the rates noted above. 

Opportunity To Request an 

Administrative Review 

Each year during the anniversary 

month of the publication of an AD or 

CVD order, finding, or suspended 

investigation, an interested party, as 

defined in section 771(9) of the Act, 

may request, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213, that Commerce conduct an 

administrative review of that AD or CVD 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation. Interested parties who 

wish that Commerce conducts an 

administrative review should wait until 

Commerce announces via the Federal 

Register the next window during the 

anniversary month of the publication of 

the AD or CVD order to submit such 

requests. The anniversary month for 

these Orders is December. 

Administrative Protective Order

Appendix II 

Merchandise Subject to the Scope and 

Circumvention Inquiries 

The scope and circumvention inquiries 

cover AWC completed in Vietnam using 

AWC inputs (e.g., stranded wire and cables 

or unfinished AWC) of Chinese-origin that is 

subsequently exported from Vietnam to the 

United States. 

Available evidence shows that AWC inputs 

from China are processed in Vietnam and 

subsequently exported to the United States. 

These inquiries cover exports of AWC made 

using inputs of Chinese-origin that undergo 

further processing in Vietnam. 

These preliminary determinations apply to 

all shipments of inquiry merchandise on or 

after the date of the initiation of these 

circumvention and scope inquiries (i.e., 

October 19, 2023). Importers and exporters of 

AWC from Vietnam, even where 

preliminarily determined to be out of scope, 

must still certify that merchandise is not 

subject to our country-wide finding of 

circumvention. Otherwise, their merchandise 

may be subject to antidumping and 

countervailing duties.

(I) I understand that {IMPORTING 

COMPANY} is required to maintain a copy 

of the exporter’s certification (attesting to the 

production and/or exportation of the

any supporting documentation provided to 

the importer by the exporter, until the later 

of: (1) the date that is five years after the date

either agency.

and/or Commerce to verify the claims made 

herein, may result in a de facto 

determination that all entries to which this 

certification applies are within the scope of 

the antidumping duty and countervailing 

duty orders on AWC from China. I 

understand that such finding will result in: 

(i) suspension of liquidation of all 

unliquidated entries (and entries for which 

liquidation has not become final) for which 

these requirements were not met; 

(ii) the importer being required to post the 

cash deposits determined by Commerce; and

importer, such as brokers, are not permitted 

to make this certification.

time of shipment or within 45 days of the 

date on which Commerce issued its 

preliminary circumvention determination 

implementing the certification regime. 

(O) I am aware that U.S. law (including,
