1Seed Timber’s antidumping new shipper review 

was subsequently rescinded as a result of the 

company’s withdrawal of its request for a review 

(69 FR 54766, September 10, 2004). 

2Case briefs were submitted on behalf of the 

Coalition of Fair Lumber Imports Executive 

Committee (the petitioners), the Government of 

Canada, and the Government of British Columbia. 

(‘‘Amended Final Issues and Decision 

Memorandum’’), and the company–

specific amended final determination 

analysis memoranda dated September 

22, 2005. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

751(h) of the Act, we are amending the 

final determination of sales at less than 

fair value in the antidumping duty 

administrative review of fresh garlic 

from the PRC for the period November 

1, 2002, through October 31, 2003. The 

revised weighted–average dumping 

margins are listed in the ‘‘Amended 

Final Results of Review’’ section below.

As a result of correcting the 

ministerial errors discussed in the 

Amended Final Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, the amended weighted–

average dumping margins for FHTK, 

Harmoni, Jinan Yipin, Linshu Dading, 

and Ziyang are as follows: 

Company Weighted–Average 

Margin 

FHTK ............................ 19.68% 

Harmoni ........................ 14.20% 

Jinan Yipin .................... 15.92% 

Linshu Dading ............... 10.78% 

Ziyang ........................... 15.09% 

Duty Assessment and Cash Deposit 

Requirements 

The Department will determine, and 

CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 

all appropriate entries. The Department 

will issue appropriate assessment 

instructions directly to CBP within 15 

days of publication of the amended final 

results of this review, where injunctions 

are not in place. 

Further, the following cash–deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of these final amended 

results of the administrative review for 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of these final amended 

results, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for subject 

merchandise exported by FHTK, 

Harmoni, Jinan Yipin, Linshu Dading, 

and Ziyang, the cash–deposit rate will 

be that established in these amended 

final results of review; (2) for all other 

PRC exporters of subject merchandise 

which have not been found to be 

entitled to a separate rate, the cash–

deposit rate will be the PRC–wide rate 

of 376.67 percent; (3) for all non–PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise, the 

cash–deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the PRC supplier of that 

exporter. These deposit requirements 

shall remain in effect until publication 

of the final results of the next 

administrative review. 

These final amended results of 

administrative review and notice are 

issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1), 751(h) and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 30, 2004, we initiated a new

covering the review period January 1, 

2003, through December 31, 2003 (POR). 

See Certain Softwood Lumber Products 

From Canada: Notice of Initiation of 

Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review 

for the Period May 1, 2003, through 

April 30, 2004, and Notice of Initiation 

of Countervailing Duty New Shipper 

Review for the Period January 1, 2003,

the preliminary results of Seed Timber’s 

new shipper review were published in 

the Federal Register . See Preliminary 

Results, 70 FR 22848. Interested parties 

submitted case briefs to the Department 

on June 2, 2005.2

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.214(a), this new shipper review 

covers only the exporter or producer for 

which a review was specifically 

requested. Accordingly, this new 

shipper review only covers subject 

merchandise exported and produced by 

Seed Timber. 

Scope of Order 

The products covered by this order 

are softwood lumber, flooring and 

siding (softwood lumber products). 

Softwood lumber products include all 

products classified under subheadings

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 187 / Wednesday, September 28, 2005 / Notices 56641 

3To ensure administrability, we clarified the 

language of exclusion number 6 to require an 

importer certification and to permit single or 

multiple entries on multiple days as well as 

instructing importers to retain and make available 

for inspection specific documentation in support of 

each entry.

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

merchandise subject to this order is 

dispositive. 

As specifically stated in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum 

accompanying the Notice of Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value: Certain Softwood Lumber 

Products from Canada, 67 FR 15539 

(April 2, 2002) (see comment 53, item D, 

page 116, and comment 57, item B–7, 

page 126), available at 

www.ia.ita.doc.gov/frn, drilled and 

notched lumber and angle cut lumber 

are covered by the scope of this order. 

The following softwood lumber 

products are excluded from the scope of 

this order provided they meet the 

specified requirements detailed below: 

(1) Stringers (pallet components used 

for runners): if they have at least 

two notches on the side, positioned 

at equal distance from the center, to 

properly accommodate forklift 

blades, properly classified under 

HTSUS 4421.90.98.40. 

(2) Box–spring frame kits: if they 

contain the following wooden 

pieces - two side rails, two end (or 

top) rails and varying numbers of 

slats. The side rails and the end 

rails should be radius–cut at both 

ends. The kits should be 

individually packaged, they should 

contain the exact number of 

wooden components needed to 

make a particular box spring frame, 

with no further processing required. 

None of the components exceeds 1’’

in actual thickness or 83’’ in length. 

(3) Radius–cut box–spring-frame 

components, not exceeding 1’’ in 

actual thickness or 83’’ in length, 

ready for assembly without further 

processing. The radius cuts must be 

present on both ends of the boards 

and must be substantial cuts so as 

to completely round one corner. 

(4) Fence pickets requiring no further 

processing and properly classified 

under HTSUS 4421.90.70, 1’’ or less 

in actual thickness, up to 8’’ wide, 

6’ or less in length, and have finials 

or decorative cuttings that clearly 

identify them as fence pickets. In 

the case of dog–eared fence pickets, 

the corners of the boards should be 

cut off so as to remove pieces of 

wood in the shape of isosceles right 

angle triangles with sides 

measuring 3/4 inch or more. 

(5) U.S.-origin lumber shipped to 

Canada for minor processing and 

imported into the United States, is 

excluded from the scope of this 

order if the following conditions are 

met: 1) the processing occurring in 

Canada is limited to kiln–drying, 

planing to create smooth–to-size 

board, and sanding, and 2) if the 

importer establishes to the 

satisfaction of U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) that the 

lumber is of U.S. origin. 

(6) Softwood lumber products 

contained in single family home 

packages or kits,3 regardless of tariff 

classification, are excluded from the 

scope of this order if the importer 

certifies to items 6 A, B, C, D, and 

requirement 6 E is met: 

A. The imported home package or kit 

constitutes a full package of the 

number of wooden pieces specified 

in the plan, design or blueprint 

necessary to produce a home of at 

least 700 square feet produced to a 

specified plan, design or blueprint; 

B. The package or kit must contain all 

necessary internal and external 

doors and windows, nails, screws, 

glue, sub floor, sheathing, beams, 

posts, connectors, and if included 

in the purchase contract, decking, 

trim, drywall and roof shingles 

specified in the plan, design or 

blueprint. 

C. Prior to importation, the package or 

kit must be sold to a retailer of 

complete home packages or kits 

pursuant to a valid purchase 

contract referencing the particular 

home design plan or blueprint, and 

signed by a customer not affiliated 

with the importer; 

D. Softwood lumber products entered 

as part of a single family home 

package or kit, whether in a single 

entry or multiple entries on 

multiple days, will be used solely 

for the construction of the single 

family home specified by the home 

design matching the entry. 

E. For each entry, the following 

documentation must be retained by 

the importer and made available to 

CBP upon request: 

i. A copy of the appropriate home 

design, plan, or blueprint matching 

the entry; 

ii. A purchase contract from a retailer 

of home kits or packages signed by 

a customer not affiliated with the 

importer; 

iii. A listing of inventory of all parts 

of the package or kit being entered 

that conforms to the home design 

package being entered; 

iv. In the case of multiple shipments 

on the same contract, all items 

listed in E(iii) which are included 

in the present shipment shall be 

identified as well. 

Lumber products that CBP may 

classify as stringers, radius cut box–

spring-frame components, and fence 

pickets, not conforming to the above 

requirements, as well as truss 

components, pallet components, and 

door and window frame parts, are 

covered under the scope of this order 

and may be classified under HTSUS 

subheadings 4418.90.45.90, 

4421.90.70.40, and 4421.90.97.40. 

Finally, as clarified throughout the 

course of the investigation, the 

following products, previously 

identified as Group A, remain outside 

the scope of this order. They are: 

1. Trusses and truss kits, properly 

classified under HTSUS 4418.90; 

2. I–joist beams; 

3. Assembled box spring frames; 

4. Pallets and pallet kits, properly 

classified under HTSUS 4415.20; 

5. Garage doors; 

6. Edge–glued wood, properly 

classified under HTSUS 

4421.90.98.40; 

7. Properly classified complete door 

frames; 

8. Properly classified complete 

window frames; 

9. Properly classified furniture. 

In addition, this scope language was 

further clarified to specify that all 

softwood lumber products entered from 

Canada claiming non–subject status 

based on U.S. country of origin will be 

treated as non–subject U.S.-origin 

merchandise under the countervailing 

duty order, provided that these 

softwood lumber products meet the 

following condition: upon entry, the 

importer, exporter, Canadian processor 

and/or original U.S. producer establish 

to CBP’s satisfaction that the softwood 

lumber entered and documented as 

U.S.-origin softwood lumber was first

lumber product satisfying the physical 

parameters of the softwood lumber 

scope.4 The presumption of non–subject 

status can, however, be rebutted by 

evidence demonstrating that the 

merchandise was substantially 

transformed in Canada.
