the Department will instruct CBP to 

liquidate POR entries of subject 

merchandise from these companies at 

the PRC-wide rate of 114.90 percent. 

Moreover, if the Department continues 

to make a no-shipment finding for Wah 

Yuen in the final results, any suspended 

entries of subject merchandise from 

Wah Yuen will also be liquidated at the 

PRC-wide rate.17 Finally, with respect to 

entries from Orient and Rongxin, 

antidumping duties shall be assessed at 

rates equal to the cash deposit of

administrative review 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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 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 any 

companies listed above that have a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be that established in the final results of 

review (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 existing exporterspecific rate; (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 that for the 

PRC-wide entity; and (4) for all non-PRC 

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 AD duties occurred 

and the subsequent assessment of 

double AD duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19

the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the 

examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-average 

of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the 

examined respondents using each company’s 

publicly-ranged U.S. sale quantities for the 

merchandise under consideration. The Department 

then compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate 

closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all 

other producers and exporters. See, e.g., Ball

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) preliminarily 

determines that countervailable 

subsidies are being provided to 

producers and exporters of certain tool 

chests and cabinets (tool chests) from 

the People’s Republic of China (PRC). 

The period of investigation is January 1, 

2016, through December 31, 2016. 

DATES: Applicable September 15, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This preliminary determination is 

made in accordance with section 703(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). The Department published the 

notice of initiation of this investigation 

on May 9, 2017.1 On June 12, 2017, the 

Department postponed the preliminary 

determination of this investigation and 

the revised deadline is now September 

8, 2017.2 For a complete description of 

the events that followed the initiation of 

this investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

II to this notice. The Preliminary 

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 http:// 

access.trade.gov, and is available to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

Room B8024 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. The signed and electronic versions 

of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are tool chests from the 

PRC. For a complete description of the 

scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the preamble to 

the Department’s regulations,4 the 

Initiation Notice set aside a period of 

time for parties to raise issues regarding 

product coverage, (i.e., scope).5 Certain 

interested parties commented on the 

scope of the investigation as it appeared 

in the Initiation Notice. For a summary 

of the product coverage comments and 

rebuttal responses submitted to the 

record for this preliminary 

determination, and accompanying 

discussion and analysis of all comments 

timely received, see the Preliminary 

Scope Decision Memorandum.6 The 

Department is preliminarily modifying 

the scope language as it appeared in the 

Initiation Notice. See revised scope in 

Appendix I. 

Methodology 

The Department is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, the 

Department preliminarily determines 

that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial 

contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific.7

The Department notes that, in making 

these findings, it relied, in part, on facts 

available and, because it finds that one 

or more respondents did not act to the 

best of their ability to respond to the 

Department’s requests for information, it 

drew an adverse inference where 

appropriate in selecting from among the 

facts otherwise available.8 For further 

information, see ‘‘Use of Facts 

Otherwise Available and Adverse 

Inferences’’ in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act provide that in the preliminary 

determination, the Department shall 

determine an estimated all-others rate 

for companies not individually 

examined. This rate shall be an amount 

equal to the weighted average of the 

estimated subsidy rates established for 

those companies individually 

examined, excluding any zero and de 

minimis rates and any rates based 

entirely under section 776 of the Act. 

In this investigation, the Department 

calculated individual estimated 

countervailable subsidy rates for Jiangsu 

Tongrun Equipment Technology Co., 

Ltd. (Tongrun) and Zhongshan Geelong 

Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Geelong) that 

are not zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on facts otherwise available. 

The Department calculated the allothers’ rate using a weighted average of 

the individual estimated subsidy rates 

calculated for the examined respondents 

using each company’s publicly-ranged 

values for the merchandise under 

consideration.9

Preliminary Determination 

The Department preliminarily 

determines that the following estimated 

countervailable subsidy rates exist:

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The scope of this investigation covers 

certain metal tool chests and tool cabinets, 

with drawers, (tool chests and cabinets), from 

the People’s Republic of China (the PRC) and 

the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam). 

The scope covers all metal tool chests and 

cabinets, including top chests, intermediate 

chests, tool cabinets and side cabinets, 

storage units, mobile work benches, and 

work stations and that have the following 

physical characteristics: 

(1) A body made of carbon, alloy, or 

stainless steel and/or other metals; 

(2) two or more drawers for storage in each 

individual unit; 

(3) a width (side to side) exceeding 15 

inches for side cabinets and exceeding 21 

inches for all other individual units but not 

exceeding 60 inches; 

(4) a body depth (front to back) exceeding 

10 inches but not exceeding 24 inches; and 

(5) prepackaged for retail sale. 

For purposes of this scope, the width 

parameter applies to each individual unit, 

i.e., each individual top chest, intermediate 

top chest, tool cabinet, side cabinet, storage 

unit, mobile work bench, and work station. 

Prepackaged for retail sale means the units 

may, for example, be packaged in a cardboard 

box, other type of container or packaging, 

and may bear a Universal Product Code, 

along with photographs, pictures, images, 

features, artwork, and/or product 

specifications. Subject tool chests and 

cabinets are covered whether imported in 

assembled or unassembled form. Subject 

merchandise includes tool chests and 

cabinets produced in the PRC or Vietnam but 

assembled, prepackaged for retail sale, or 

subject to other minor processing in a third 

country prior to importation into the United 

States. Similarly, it would include tool chests 

and cabinets produced in the PRC or Vietnam 

that are later found to be assembled, 

prepackaged for retail sale, or subject to other 

minor processing after importation into the 

United States. 

Subject tool chests and cabinets may also 

have doors and shelves in addition to 

drawers, may have handles (typically 

mounted on the sides), and may have a work 

surface on the top. Subject tool chests and 

cabinets may be uncoated (e.g., stainless 

steel), painted, powder coated, galvanized, or 

otherwise coated for corrosion protection or 

aesthetic appearance. 

Subject tool chests and cabinets may be 

packaged as individual units or in sets. When 

packaged in sets, they typically include a 

cabinet with one or more chests that stack on 

top of the cabinet. Tool cabinets act as a base 

tool storage unit and typically have rollers, 

casters, or wheels to permit them to be 

moved more easily when loaded with tools. 

Work stations and mobile work benches are 

tool cabinets with a work surface on the top 

that may be made of rubber, plastic, metal, 

wood, or other materials. 

Top chests are designed to be used with a 

tool cabinet to form a tool storage unit. The 

top chests may be mounted on top of the base 

tool cabinet or onto an intermediate chest. 

They are often packaged as a set with tool 

cabinets or intermediate chests, but may also 

be packaged separately. They may be 

packaged with mounting hardware (e.g., 

bolts) and instructions for assembling them 

onto the base tool cabinet or onto an 

intermediate tool chest which rests on the 

base tool cabinet. Smaller top chests typically 

have handles on the sides, while the larger 

top chests typically lack handles. 

Intermediate tool chests are designed to fit on 

top of the floor standing tool cabinet and to 

be used underneath the top tool chest. 

Although they may be packaged or used 

separately from the tool cabinet, intermediate 

chests are designed to be used in conjunction 

with tool cabinets. The intermediate chests 

typically do not have handles. The 

intermediate and top chests may have the 

capability of being bolted together. 

Side cabinets are designed to be bolted or 

otherwise attached to the side of the base 

storage cabinet to expand the storage capacity 

of the base tool cabinet. 

Subject tool chests and cabinets also may 

be packaged with a tool set included. 

Packaging a subject tool chest and cabinet
