Large Residential Washers From 

Mexico: Preliminary Results of the 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review; 2016–2017 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on large 

residential washers from Mexico. The 

period of review (POR) is February 1, 

2016, through January 31, 2017. The 

review covers one producer/exporter of 

the subject merchandise, Electrolux 

Home Products Corp. N.V. and 

Electrolux Home Products de Mexico, 

S.A. de C.V. (collectively, Electrolux). 

We preliminarily determine that sales of 

subject merchandise by Electrolux have 

been made at prices below normal value 

(NV). We invite interested parties to 

comment on these preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable: November 8, 2017. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ross 

Belliveau or Rebecca Janz, AD/CVD 

Operations, Office II, Enforcement and 

Compliance, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

all large residential washers and certain 

subassemblies thereof from Mexico. The 

products are currently classifiable under 

subheadings 8450.20.0040 and 

8450.20.0080 of the Harmonized Tariff 

System of the United States (HTSUS). 

Products subject to this order may also 

enter under HTSUS subheadings 

8450.11.0040, 8450.11.0080, 

8450.90.2000, and 8450.90.6000. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

merchandise subject to this scope is 

dispositive.1

Methodology 

The Department is conducting this 

review in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). Pursuant to 

section 776(a) and (b) of the Act, the 

Department has preliminarily relied 

upon facts otherwise available with 

adverse inferences (AFA) for Electrolux 

because this respondent did not timely 

respond to the Department’s 

antidumping duty questionnaire. For a 

complete explanation of the 

methodology and analysis underlying 

the preliminary application of AFA, see 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

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 https://access.trade.gov, and 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 found at

signed Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

A list of the topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached as the Appendix to this notice. 

Preliminary Results of the Review 

As a result of this review, the 

Department preliminarily determines 

that a dumping margin of 72.41 percent 

exists for Electrolux for the period 

February 1, 2016, through January 31, 

2017. 

Disclosure 

Normally, the Department discloses to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with the 

preliminary results within five days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

preliminary results in the Federal 

Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). However, there are no 

calculations to disclose because, in 

accordance with section 776 of the Act, 

the Department preliminarily applied 

AFA to Electrolux, the only company 

that is subject to this review, and the 

applied AFA rate is based solely on a 

dumping margin applied in a prior 

segment of this proceeding. 

Public Comment 

Case briefs or other written comments 

may be submitted to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance no later than 30 days after 

the date of publication of the 

preliminary results, unless the Secretary 

alters the time limit. Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in case briefs, 

may be submitted no later than five days 

after the deadline date for case briefs.2

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and 

(d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or

review are encouraged to submit with

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number; the 

number of participants; and a list of the 

issues to be discussed. If a request for 

a hearing is made, the Department 

intends to hold the hearing at the U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 1401 

Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, 

DC 20230, at a time and date to be 

determined.3 Parties should confirm by 

telephone the date, time, and location of 

the hearing two days before the

All submissions, with limited 

exceptions, must be filed electronically 

using ACCESS. An electronically filed 

document must be received successfully 

in its entirety by 5 p.m. Eastern Time 

(ET) on the due date. Documents 

excepted from the electronic submission 

requirements must be filed manually 

(i.e., in paper form) with the APO/ 

Dockets Unit in Room 18022 and 

stamped with the date and time of 

receipt by 5 p.m. ET on the due date. 

The Department intends to issue the 

final results of this administrative 

review, including the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in any written 

briefs, not later than 120 days after the 

date of publication of this notice, unless 

the deadline is extended.4

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, the 

Department shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.5 The final results of this review 

shall be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by the final results 

of this review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable.6

We intend to issue instructions to 

CBP 41 days after the publication date 

of the final results of this review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) 

The cash deposit rate for Electrolux will 

be the rate established in the final 

results of this review; (2) for previously 

reviewed or investigated companies not 

participating in this review, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recent period; (3) if the exporter is 

not a firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the less-than-fair-value 

(LTFV) investigation, but the 

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recent period for the manufacturer of 

the merchandise; and (4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other manufacturers 

or exporters will continue to be 36.52 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the LTFV investigation.7 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) 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 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

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

CFR 351.221(b)(4). 

Dated: October 31, 2017. 

Gary Taverman, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Operations, 

performing the non-exclusive functions and 

duties of the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance.
