Steel Wire Garment Hangers From the 

People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review; 2012– 

2013 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the ‘‘Department’’) is conducting the 

fifth administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on steel wire 

garment hangers from the People’s 

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’).1 The 

Department selected two respondents 

for individual review, Shanghai Wells,2

and Ningbo Dasheng Hanger Ind. Co., 

Ltd., (‘‘Ningbo Dasheng’’). We selected 

four additional companies as mandatory 

respondents, but, they did not 

participate.3 The Department 

preliminarily determines that Shanghai 

Wells sold subject merchandise in the 

United States at prices below normal 

value during the period of review 

(‘‘POR’’), October 1, 2012, through 

September 30, 2013. In addition, we 

preliminary determine Ningbo Dasheng, 

and the Non-Responsive Mandatories 

failed to cooperate by not acting to the 

best of their ability to comply with the 

Department’s request for information, 

warranting the application of facts 

otherwise available with adverse 

inferences, pursuant to sections 776(a)– 

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

(‘‘Act’’). As a part of the application of 

adverse facts available (‘‘AFA’’), we are 

treating Ningbo Dasheng as part of the 

PRC-wide entity. Additionally, we 

determine that the four other companies 

that we selected as mandatory 

respondents but which did not 

cooperate are also part of the PRC-wide 

entity.4 If these preliminary results are 

adopted in our final results of review, 

we will instruct U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR. We invite interested parties to 

comment on these preliminary results. 

DATES: Effective Date: November 5, 

2014.

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by the order is 

steel wire garment hangers. This 

product is classified under the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings: 

7326.20.0020, 7323.99.9060, and 

7323.99.9080. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written product description remains 

dispositive.5

PRC-Wide Entity 

The four Non-Responsive 

Mandatories failed to respond to the 

Department’s requests for information 

and/or declined to participate in this 

review. These companies, therefore, are 

not eligible for separate rate status.6

Ningbo Dasheng failed to cooperate by 

not acting to the best of its ability to 

comply with a request for information, 

and therefore, is also not eligible for a 

separate rate. Accordingly, the 

Department preliminarily finds that the 

PRC-wide entity includes these 

companies. Furthermore, because 

necessary information is not available 

on the record and the PRC-Wide entity 

(including the None-Responsive 

Mandatories and Ningbo Dasheng) 

withheld requested information, failed 

to provide information in a timely 

manner and in the form requested, and 

significantly impeded this proceeding, 

the Department relied on facts 

available.7 Additionally, the Department 

finds that the PRC-Wide entity failed to 

cooperate by not acting to the best of its 

ability to comply with a request for 

information.8 Therefore, pursuant to 

section 776(b) of the Act, the 

Department used an adverse inference 

when selecting from among the facts 

otherwise available.9 Thus, the 

Department relied on AFA in order to 

determine a margin for the PRC-wide 

entity, pursuant to sections 776(a)(1), 

776(a)(2)(A), (B), (C) and 776(b) of the 

Act.10

During the review, 23 companies for 

which a review was requested did not 

file a separate rate application or 

certification, nor did they file a no 

shipments certification.11 Accordingly, 

because these companies did not 

demonstrate their eligibility for a 

separate rate, the Department 

preliminarily determines that they are 

also part of the PRC-wide entity. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

On January 31, 2014, Hangzhou 

Yingqing Material Co., Ltd. and 

Hangzhou Qingqing Mechanical Co., 

Ltd. filed no shipment certifications.12

On February 6, 2014, the Department 

sent inquiries to CBP to determine 

whether CBP entry data are consistent 

with Hangzhou Yingqing Material Co., 

Ltd. and Hangzhou Qingqing 

Mechanical Co., Ltd.’s no shipments 

certifications and received no 

information contrary to that statement 

from CBP. As such, we preliminarily 

determine that Hangzhou Yingqing 

Material Co., Ltd. and Hangzhou 

Qingqing Mechanical Co., Ltd. had no 

shipments during the POR.13

In addition, the Department finds that 

consistent with its announced 

refinement to its assessment practice in 

NME cases, it is appropriate not to 

rescind the review in part in this 

circumstance but, rather, to complete 

the review with respect to Hangzhou 

Yingqing Material Co., Ltd. and 

Hangzhou Qingqing Mechanical Co., 

Ltd., and issue appropriate instructions 

to CBP based on the final results of the 

review.14

Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. We calculated 

constructed export prices and export 

prices in accordance with section 772 of 

the Act. Because the PRC is a nonmarket 

economy within the meaning of section 

771(18) of the Act, we calculated normal 

value in accordance with section 773(c) 

of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum, dated 

concurrently with these results and 

hereby adopted by this notice.15 The 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and

parties of the scheduled date for the 

hearing which will be held at the U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 14th Street 

and Constitution Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20230, at a time and 

location to be determined. Parties 

should confirm by telephone the date, 

time, and location of the hearing. 

The Department intends to issue the 

final results of this review, including 

the results of its analysis of the issues 

raised in any written briefs, not later 

than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, the 

Department will determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.23 The Department intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 

days after the publication date of the 

final results of review. 

In these preliminary results, the 

Department applied the assessment rate 

calculation method adopted in Final 

Modification for Reviews, i.e., on the 

basis of monthly average-to-average 

comparisons using only the transactions 

associated with that importer with 

offsets being provided for non-dumped 

comparisons.24

Where the respondent reported 

reliable entered values, we calculated 

importer- (or customer) specific ad 

valorem rates by aggregating the 

dumping margins calculated for all U.S. 

sales to each importer (or customer) and 

dividing this amount by the total 

entered value of the sales to each 

importer (or customer).25 Where the 

Department calculated a weightedaverage dumping margin by dividing the 

total amount of dumping for reviewed 

sales to that party by the total sales 

quantity associated with those 

transactions, the Department will direct 

CBP to assess importer-specific 

assessment rates based on the resulting 

per-unit rates.26 Where an importer- (or 

customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is greater than de minimis, the 

Department will instruct CBP to collect 

the appropriate duties at the time of 

liquidation.27 Where an importer- (or 

customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is zero or de minimis, the 

Department will instruct CBP to 

liquidate appropriate entries without 

regard to antidumping duties.28

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of these 

reviews for shipments of the subject 

merchandise from the PRC entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) 

of the Act: (1) For the companies listed 

above, the cash deposit rate will be 

established in the final results of these 

reviews (except, if the rate is zero or de 

minimis, then zero cash deposit will be 

required); (2) for previously investigated 

or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters 

not listed above that received a separate 

rate in a prior segment of this 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the exporter-specific rate 

published for the most recent period; (3) 

for all PRC exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate 

of 187.25 percent; and (4) for all nonPRC exporters of subject merchandise 

which have not received their own rate, 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the PRC exporter that 

supplied that non-PRC exporter. 

These deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

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 the 

Department’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: October 31, 2014.
