SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 14, 2009, Commerce published the Order on kitchen
racks from China.\1\ On August 1, 2025, Commerce published the notice
of initiation of the third sunset review of the Order, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19
CFR 351.218(c).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Kitchen Appliance Shelving and Racks from the
People's Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order, 74 FR 46973
(September 14, 2009) (Order).
\2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 90 FR 42388
(September 2, 2025).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On September 16, 2025, Commerce received a notice of intent to
participate in this review from the Nashville Wire Products and SSW
Advanced Technologies (collectively, the domestic interested parties),
within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ The
domestic interested parties claim interested party status within the
meaning of section 771(9)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(29)(vii)
as manufacturers, producers, or wholesalers a domestic like product in
the United States.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Domestic Interested Parties' Letter, ``Kitchen Appliance
Shelving and Racks from China--Domestic Interested Parties' Notice
of Intent to Participate,'' dated September 16, 2025.
\4\ Id. at 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On October 2, 2025, Commerce received an adequate substantive
response from the domestic interested parties, within the 30-day
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\5\ Commerce did not
receive a substantive response from either the Government of China or a
respondent interested party to this proceeding. On December 8, 2025,
Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it
did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent
interested parties.\6\ As a result, Commerce conducted an expedited
(120-day) sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Domestic Interested Parties' Letter, ``Certain Kitchen
Appliance Shelving and Racks from the People's Republic of China--
Domestic Interested Parties' Substantive Response,'' dated October
2, 2025 (Substantive Response).
\6\ See Commerce's Letter, ``Sunset Reviews Initiated on
September 2, 2025,'' dated December 8, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days.\7\ Additionally, due to a backlog of documents
that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24,
2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an
additional 21 days.\8\ Accordingly, the deadline for these final
results is now March 9, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Memorandum, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of the
Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.
\8\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of all Case Deadlines,'' dated
November 24, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this Order is certain kitchen appliance
shelving and racks from China. For the full description of the scope of
