SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 14, 2009, Commerce published in the Federal Register
the AD and CVD orders on kitchen racks from China.\1\ On September 2,
2025, the ITC instituted,\2\ and Commerce initiated,\3\ the third
sunset review of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of its reviews, Commerce
determined that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to the
continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies,
and therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of
dumping and subsidy rates likely to prevail should the Orders be
revoked.\4\

to shelving, baskets, or racks to enable sliding), side racks (which
are welded wire support structures for oven racks that attach to the
interior walls of an oven cavity that does not include support ribs as
a design feature), and subframes (which are welded wire support
structures that interface with formed support ribs inside an oven
cavity to support oven rack assemblies utilizing extension slides) with
