SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 735(d) 

and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended, (‘‘the Act’’), the 

Department published the final 

determination and amended final 

determination of sales at less than fair 

value (‘‘LTFV’’) in the antidumping 

investigation of steel wire garment 

hangers from the People’s Republic of 

China (‘‘PRC’’). See Steel Wire Garment 

Hangers from the People’s Republic of 

China: Final Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value, 73 FR 47587

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise that is subject to 

this investigation is steel wire garment 

hangers, fabricated from carbon steel 

wire, whether or not galvanized or 

painted, whether or not coated with 

latex or epoxy or similar gripping 

materials, and/or whether or not 

fashioned with paper covers or capes 

(with or without printing) and/or 

nonslip features such as saddles or 

tubes. These products may also be 

referred to by a commercial designation, 

such as shirt, suit, strut, caped, or latex 

(industrial) hangers. Specifically 

excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are wooden, plastic, and 

other garment hangers that are not made 

of steel wire. The products subject to 

this investigation are currently 

classified under HTSUS subheading 

7326.20.0020 and 7323.99.9060. 

Although the HTSUS subheading is 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the

Antidumping Duty Order 

On September 29, 2008, in accordance 

with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC 

notified the Department of its final 

determination, pursuant to section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of less– 

than-fair–value imports of subject 

merchandise from the PRC. Therefore, 

in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of 

the Act, the Department will direct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

to assess, upon further instruction by 

the Department, antidumping duties 

equal to the amount by which the 

normal value of the merchandise 

exceeds the export price (or constructed 

export price) of the merchandise for all 

relevant entries of certain steel nails 

from the PRC. These antidumping 

duties will be assessed on all 

unliquidated entries of steel wire 

garment hangers from the PRC entered, 

or withdrawn from the warehouse, for 

consumption on or after March 25, 

2008, the date on which the Department 

published its Preliminary

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value: Steel Wire Garment Hangers 

From the People’s Republic of China, 73 

FR 15726 (March 25, 2008)

Effective on the date of publication of 

the ITC’s final affirmative injury

merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the 

estimated weighted–average
