SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 6, 2004, Commerce published the AD order on ironing
tables from China.\1\ On February 1, 2021, Commerce initiated the third
five-year (sunset) review of the Order pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ As a result of its
review, Commerce determined that revocation of the Order would likely
lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and, therefore,
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail
should the Order be revoked.\3\ On August 18, 2021, the ITC published
its determination, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, that
revocation of the Order would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States
within a reasonably foreseeable time.\4\

Scope of the Order
For purposes of this Order, the product covered consists of floor-
standing, metal-top ironing tables, assembled or unassembled, complete
or incomplete, and certain parts thereof. The subject tables are
designed and used principally for the hand ironing or pressing of
garments or other articles of fabric. The subject tables have full-
height leg assemblies that support the ironing surface at an
appropriate (often adjustable) height above the floor. The subject
tables are produced in a variety of leg finishes, such as painted,
plated, or matte, and they are available with various features,
including iron rests, linen racks, and others. The subject ironing
tables may be sold with or without a pad and/or cover. All types and
configurations of floor-standing, metal-top ironing tables are covered
by this review.
Furthermore, this Order specifically covers imports of ironing
tables, assembled or unassembled, complete or incomplete, and certain
parts thereof. For purposes of this Order, the term ``unassembled''
ironing table means a product requiring the attachment of the leg
assembly to the top or the attachment of an included feature such as an
iron rest or linen rack. The term ``complete'' ironing table means
product sold as a ready-to-use ensemble consisting of the metal-top
table and a pad and cover, with or without additional features, e.g.,
iron rest or linen rack. The term ``incomplete'' ironing table means
product shipped or sold as a ``bare board''--i.e., a metal-top table
only, without the pad and cover- with or without additional features,
e.g., iron rest or linen rack. The major parts or components of ironing
tables that are intended to be covered by this Order under the term
``certain parts thereof'' consist of the metal top component (with or
without assembled supports and slides) and/or the leg components,
whether or not attached together as a leg assembly. The Order covers
separately shipped metal top components and leg components, without
regard to whether the respective quantities would yield an exact
quantity of assembled ironing tables.
Ironing tables without legs (such as models that mount on walls or
over doors) are not floor-standing and are specifically excluded.
Additionally, tabletop or countertop models with short legs that do not
exceed 12 inches in length (and which may or may not collapse or
retract) are specifically excluded.
The subject ironing tables were previously classified under
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheading
9403.20.0010. Effective July 1, 2003, the subject ironing tables are
classified under HTSUS subheading 9403.20.0011. The subject metal top
and leg components are classified under HTSUS subheading 9403.90.8040.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and for
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) purposes, the written
description of the scope remains dispositive.
Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that
revocation of the Order would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby
orders the continuation of the antidumping order on ironing tables from
China. CBP will continue to collect antidumping duty cash deposits at
the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject
merchandise. The effective date of the continuation of the Order will
be the date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of
continuation. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce
intends to initiate the next five-year review of the Order not later
than 30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of
continuation.
Notification to Interested Parties
This five-year (sunset) review and this notice are in accordance
with section 751(c) of the Act and published pursuant to section
777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: August 25, 2021.
Christian Marsh,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
