SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 21, 2020, we published in the Federal Register an
antidumping duty order on wooden cabinets and vanities and components
thereof (cabinets) from the People's Republic of China (China).\1\ On
December 1, 2020, Commerce initiated the antidumping duty NSR of wooden
cabinets from China for the period of review, April 1, 2020, through
September 30, 2020, for Hualing.\2\ For additional background, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\3\

the People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 86 FR 22126
(April 21, 2020) (Order).

\3\ See Memorandum, ``Wooden Cabinets and Vanities and
Components Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Decision

Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
75l(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19
CFR 351.214. For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of
sections in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached in the
appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a
public document and is made available to the public via Enforcement and
Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic
Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at

Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at <a href="http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/">http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/</a>.
Preliminary Intent To Rescind the Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review
Based on information on the record, we determine that Hualing does
not meet the minimum requirements in its request for the NSR under 19
CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i). Therefore, we preliminarily determine that it is
appropriate to rescind the NSR with respect to Hualing.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ We have not conducted a detailed bona fides analysis for
these preliminary results due to the preliminary decision that
Hualing is not eligible for an NSR. See the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\9\ Id.
\10\ See 19 CFR 351.303.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, filed electronically via
ACCESS. Requests should contain: (1) The party's name, address, and

issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to
those raised in the respective case briefs. If a request for a hearing
is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be
determined. An electronically filed hearing request must be received
successfully in its entirety by Commerce's electronic records system,
ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue the final results of this NSR, including
the results of its analysis of issues raised in any written briefs, no
later than 90 days after the date of publication of this notice, unless
extended, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
If Commerce issues a final rescission of this review, Commerce does
not intend to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
liquidate the relevant entry because the entry is subject to the
administrative review covering the period April 1, 2020, through March
31, 2021, initiated on June 11, 2021.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews 86 FR 31282 (June 11, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Commerce does not proceed to a final rescission of this NSR,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.202(b)(1), it will calculate an importer-
specific assessment rate based on the final results of this review.
However, pursuant to Commerce's refinement to its assessment practice
in non-market economy cases, for entries that were not reported in the
U.S. sales database submitted by Hualing, Commerce intends to instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694-95 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Instructions
If Commerce proceeds to a final rescission of this review, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the China-wide rate for Hualing
because Commerce will not have determined an individual weighted-
average dumping margin for Hualing. If Commerce determines an
individual weighted-average dumping margin for Hualing, it intends to
instruct CBP to collect cash deposits, effective upon the publication
of the final results of review, equal to the calculated weighted-
average dumping margin.
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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: August 12, 2021.
Christian Marsh,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
