SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 17, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
final scope determinations, certification requirements, and recission
of circumvention inquiries on the antidumping and countervailing duty
orders on wooden cabinets.\1\ In that notice, Commerce did not
correctly describe the grace period for goods that were shipped before
the implementation of the certification regime in the text, although
this was alluded to in the importer and exporter appendices.
Additionally, Commerce did not explain that entries accompanied by the
appropriate certification documentation do not require suspension of
liquidation or cash deposits.
