SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 21, 2020, we published in the Federal Register an 
antidumping duty order on wooden cabinets and vanities and components 
thereof (cabinets) from the People's Republic of China (China).\1\ On 
December 1, 2020, Commerce initiated the antidumping duty NSR of wooden 
cabinets from China for the period of review, April 1, 2020, through 
September 30, 2020, for Hualing.\2\ For additional background, see the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\3\

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 
75l(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 
CFR 351.214. For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of 
sections in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached in the 
appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a 
public document and is made available to the public via Enforcement and

Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at 
https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.

Preliminary Intent To Rescind the Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review

    Based on information on the record, we determine that Hualing does 
not meet the minimum requirements in its request for the NSR under 19 
CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i). Therefore, we preliminarily determine that it is 
appropriate to rescind the NSR with respect to Hualing.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ We have not conducted a detailed bona fides analysis for 
these preliminary results due to the preliminary decision that 
Hualing is not eligible for an NSR. See the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to

determined. An electronically filed hearing request must be received

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue the final results of this NSR, including 
the results of its analysis of issues raised in any written briefs, no 
later than 90 days after the date of publication of this notice, unless 
extended, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act.

Assessment Rates

    If Commerce issues a final rescission of this review, Commerce does 
not intend to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
liquidate the relevant entry because the entry is subject to the 
administrative review covering the period April 1, 2020, through March 
31, 2021, initiated on June 11, 2021.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews 86 FR 31282 (June 11, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If Commerce does not proceed to a final rescission of this NSR, 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.202(b)(1), it will calculate an importer-
specific assessment rate based on the final results of this review. 
However, pursuant to Commerce's refinement to its assessment practice 
in non-market economy cases, for entries that were not reported in the 
U.S. sales database submitted by Hualing, Commerce intends to instruct 
CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694-95 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Instructions

    If Commerce proceeds to a final rescission of this review, the cash 
deposit rate will continue to be the China-wide rate for Hualing 
because Commerce will not have determined an individual weighted-
average dumping margin for Hualing. If Commerce determines an 
individual weighted-average dumping margin for Hualing, it intends to 
instruct CBP to collect cash deposits, effective upon the publication 
of the final results of review, equal to the calculated weighted-
average dumping margin.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of 
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 12, 2021.
Christian Marsh,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
