SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 6, 2008 and February 5, 2013, Commerce published in the 
Federal Register the AD order on hangers from China,\1\ and the AD and 
CVD orders on hangers from Vietnam, respectively.\2\ On August 12, 
2025, Commerce initiated country-wide circumvention inquiries pursuant 
to section 781(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), to 
determine whether imports of hangers completed in Cambodia using: (1) 
steel wire or (2) steel wire and paper accessories, produced in China 
or Vietnam, are circumventing the China Order or the Vietnam Orders 
and, accordingly, should be covered by the scope of the China Order or 
the scope of the Vietnam Orders.\3\ On September 22, 2026, Commerce 
published the affirmative Preliminary Determination of these 
circumvention inquiries.\4\ Concurrent with the Preliminary 
Determination, we also extended the deadline to issue this final 
determination until October 30, 2026.\5\ We invited parties to comment 
on the Preliminary Determination of these inquiries. We received no 
comments.

Scope of the Orders

    For a complete description of the scope of the China Order and the 
scope of the Vietnam Orders, see Appendix I and II of this notice.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Appendix I (Scope of the China Order) and Appendix II 
(Scope of the Vietnam Orders).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Merchandise Subject to the Circumvention Inquiries

    These circumvention inquiries cover hangers completed in Cambodia 
using either: (1) steel wire; or (2) steel wire and paper accessories 
produced in China or Vietnam, where the hangers are subsequently 
exported from Cambodia to the United States.

Affirmative Final Determination of Circumvention

    Because we received no comments from any interested party, this 
final determination of circumvention remains unchanged from the 
Preliminary Determination and no decision memorandum accompanies this 
notice. Consistent with the Preliminary Determination, Commerce 
continues to determine that hangers completed in Cambodia using 
Chinese-origin or Vietnamese origin inputs, i.e., steel wire or steel 
wire and paper accessories, are circumventing the China Order or the 
Vietnam Orders, each on a country-wide basis.\7\ As a result, in 
accordance with section 781(b) of the Act, we determine that this 
merchandise should be included within the scope of the China Order or 
the scope of the Vietnam Orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Preliminary Determination, 91 FR at 60087; see also 
Preliminary Decision Memoranda.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements

    Based on this affirmative final country-wide determination of 
circumvention with respect to hangers exported from Cambodia, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(I)(3), we will direct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend liquidation and require 
a cash deposit of estimated antidumping or countervailing duties on 
unliquidated entries of hangers from Cambodia that were entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after August 12, 2025, 
the date of publication of the initiation of this circumvention inquiry 
in the Federal Register.
    The suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements will 
remain in effect until further notice.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Preliminary Determination, 91 FR at 60087.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For this final determination, we continue to implement the cash 
deposit requirements and certification process outlined in the 
Preliminary Determination.\9\ Specifically, Commerce found that no 
exporter of hangers from Cambodia is eligible to certify the origin of 
the steel or steel and paper inputs used to produce hangers in 
Cambodia. However, we established a certification program that allows 
parties (excluding parties to which Commerce applied adverse facts 
available) to certify that entries of hangers exported from Cambodia 
were produced using Chinese, rather than Vietnamese, steel wire or 
steel wire and paper accessories. In order to certify that shipments 
were not subject to the Vietnam Orders, the importer, exporter, and 
producer are required to provide documentation to CBP at the time of 
entry supporting the claim that the steel wire or steel wire and paper 
accessories were sourced from China. Should we determine at a later 
date that a more general certification program (e.g., one where parties 
can certify that the imported hangers are not produced with Chinese- or 
Vietnamese inputs) is appropriate,

[[Page 70057]]

Commerce will release the required certification language, and 
establish such a certification program, at that time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Consistent with our recent determinations, where AD/CVD 
orders from two countries (i.e., here, China and Vietnam) 
potentially apply to an entry, Commerce instructed CBP to suspend 
the entry and collect cash deposits at the rates applicable to the 
Vietnam Orders (i.e., the AD cash deposit rate established for the 
Vietnam-wide entity (220.68 percent) and the CVD cash deposit rate 
established for all other companies (31.58 percent)) under the 
following third-country case numbers: A-555-812 (Vietnam AD), and C-
555-813 (Vietnam CVD). For entries of hangers from Cambodia for 
which the producer, exporter, and importer have certified in 
Commerce's dual circumvention certification program that the 
merchandise was produced using Chinese-origin steel wire or steel 
wire and paper accessories, Commerce directed CBP to suspend 
liquidation and require a cash deposit at the AD cash deposit rate 
established for hangers from China under the following third-country 
case number: A-555-918. See Preliminary Determination, 91 FR at 
60087; see also certification requirements and certifications at 
Appendix III and IV.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice will serve as the only reminder to all parties subject 
to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This determination is issued and published in accordance with 
sections 781(b) of the Act 19 CFR 351.226(g)(1).

    Dated: October 30, 2026.
Scot Fullerton,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.

Appendix I

Scope of the China Order

    The merchandise subject to the Order is steel wire garment 
hangers, fabricated from carbon steel wire, whether or not 
galvanized or painted, whether or not coated with latex or epoxy or 
similar gripping materials, and/or whether or not fashioned with 
paper covers or capes (with or without printing) and/or nonslip 
features such as saddles or tubes. These products may also be 
referred to by a commercial designation, such as shirt, suit, strut, 
caped, or latex (industrial) hangers.
    On October 30, 2026, Commerce determined that steel wire garment 
hangers that are completed in Cambodia using Chinese-origin (1) 
steel wire or (2) steel wire and paper accessories and subsequently 
exported to the United States are subject to the Order.
    Specifically excluded from the scope of the Order are wooden, 
plastic, and other garment hangers that are not made of steel wire. 
Also excluded from the scope of the Order are chrome-plated steel 
wire garment hangers with a diameter of 3.4 mm or greater.
    The products subject to the Order are currently classified under 
U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) subheadings 7326.20.0020, 
7323.99.9060, and 7323.99.9080. Although the HTSUS subheadings are 
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written 
description of the merchandise is dispositive.

Appendix II

Scope of the Vietnam Orders

    The merchandise subject to the Orders is steel wire garment 
hangers, fabricated from carbon steel wire, whether or not 
galvanized or painted, whether or not coated with latex or epoxy or 
similar gripping materials, and whether or not fashioned with paper 
covers or capes (with or without printing) or nonslip features such 
as saddles or tubes. These products may also be referred to by a 
commercial designation, such as shirt, suit, strut, caped, or latex 
(industrial) hangers.
    On October 30, 2026, Commerce determined that steel wire garment 
hangers that are completed in Cambodia using Vietnamese-origin (1) 
steel wire or (2) steel wire and paper accessories and subsequently 
exported to the United States are subject to the Orders.
    Specifically excluded from the scope of the Orders are (a) 
wooden, plastic, and other garment hangers that are not made of 
steel wire; (b) steel wire garment hangers with swivel hooks; (c) 
steel wire garment hangers with clips permanently affixed; and (d) 
chrome plated steel wire garment hangers with a diameter of 3.4

provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written 
description of the merchandise is dispositive

Appendix III

Certification Program Requirements

    The importer is required to complete and maintain the applicable 
importer certification, and maintain a copy of the applicable 
producer certification, and retain all supporting documentation for 
both certifications. With the exception of the entries described 
below, the importer certification must be completed, signed, and 
dated by the time the entry summary is filed for the relevant entry.
    If the producing company and the exporting company are the same, 
the importer, or the importer's agent, must submit the importer's 
certification, the producer/exporter certification, and 
documentation demonstrating that the country-of-origin of the (1) 
steel wire or (2) steel wire and paper accessories used in the 
production of the exported steel wire garment hangers was Chinese. 
Such certifications and documentation must be submitted to CBP at 
the time that the entry summary is filed by uploading these 
documents into the document imaging system (DIS) in the Automated 
Customs Environment (ACE).
    If the producing company and the exporting company are 
different, the importer, or the importer's agent, must submit the 
importer's certification, the producer's certification, and the 
exporter's certification, and documentation demonstrating the 
Chinese-origin of the (1) steel wire or (2) steel wire and paper 
accessories used in the production of the exported steel wire 
garment hangers. Such certifications and documentation must be 
submitted to CBP at the time that the entry summary is filed by 
uploading these documents into DIS in ACE.
    Where the importer uses a broker to facilitate the entry 
process, the importer should obtain the entry summary number from 
the broker. Agents of the importer, such as a broker, however, are 
not permitted to certify on behalf of the importer. Consistent with 
CBP's procedures, an importer shall identify certified entries by 
using the importer's additional declaration (record 54), AD/CVD 
Certification Designation (type code 6) when filing an entry 
summary.
    Where the producer and the exporter are the same entity, the 
producer/exporter is required to complete and maintain the 
applicable producer/exporter certification and provide the importer 
with a copy of that certification and all supporting documentation 
(e.g., invoice, purchase order, production records, etc.). With the 
exception of the entries described below, the producer certification 
must be completed, signed, and dated by the time of shipment of the 
relevant entry. The producer/exporter certification should be 
completed by the party producing and exporting the steel wire 
garment hangers that were manufactured in Cambodia to the United 
States.
    Where the producer and exporter are different entities, (1) the 
producer is required to complete and maintain the applicable 
producer certification and provide the importer with a copy of that 
certification and all supporting documentation (e.g., invoice, 
purchase order, production records, etc.), and (2) the exporter is 
required to complete and maintain the applicable exporter 
certification and provide the importer with a copy of that 
certification and all supporting documentation (e.g., invoice, 
purchase order, production records, etc.).
    Additionally, the claims made in the certifications and 
supporting documentation are subject to verification by Commerce or 
CBP. Importers and producers are required to maintain the 
certifications and supporting documentation until the later of: (1) 
the date that is five years after the latest entry date of the 
entries covered by the certification; or (2) the date that is three 
years after the conclusion of any litigation in the United States 
courts regarding such entries.
    For all steel wire garment hangers that were entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period August 
12, 2025 (the date of publication of the initiation of these 
circumvention inquiries), through 45 days from the date on which 
Commerce published its preliminary circumvention findings in the 
Federal Register, where the entry has not been liquidated (and 
entries for which liquidation has not become final), the importer 
and producer certifications should be completed and signed as soon 
as practicable, but not later than 45 days of the date on which 
Commerce published its preliminary circumvention findings in the 
Federal Register . The importer's certification, the producer's 
certification, the commercial invoice, and documentation supporting 
the country of origin of the steel wire or type of input if not 
steel wire used to produce the steel wire garment hangers should be 
uploaded to the DIS in ACE as soon as practicable, but not later 
than 45 days of the date on which Commerce published its preliminary 
circumvention findings in the Federal Register. For such 
unliquidated

[[Page 70058]]

entries made prior to the publication of these preliminary 
determinations which are suspended under the antidumping and 
countervailing duty orders, the importer or producer each have the 
option to complete a blanket certification covering multiple 
entries, individual certifications for each entry, or a combination 
thereof.
    As discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memoranda, this dual 
circumvention certification program is not available for companies 
to which Commerce has applied facts available with adverse 
inferences. Accordingly, as discussed in the Preliminary Decision 
Memoranda, Commerce preliminarily determines that Alpha Hanger, 
Everbrit and Kaining are ineligible to certify that any entries of 
hangers are made of Chinese-origin (1) steel wire or (2) steel wire 
and paper accessories.

substantiate the claims made herein, or not allowing CBP and/or 
Commerce to verify the claims made herein, may result in a de facto 
determination that all entries to which this certification applies 
are within the scope of the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing 
duty (CVD) orders on steel wire garment hangers from Vietnam. I 
understand that such finding will result in:
    (i) suspension of liquidation at the AD and CVD rates applicable 
to the Vietnam Order of all unliquidated entries (and entries for 
which liquidation has not become final) for which these requirements 
were not met;
    (ii) the importer being required to post the AD and CVD cash 
deposits determined by Commerce; and
    (iii) the importer no longer being allowed to participate in the 
certification process.

party was used to facilitate the entry process, {NAME OF IMPORTING 
COMPANY{time}  obtained the entry summary number and date of entry 
summary from that party.
    P. This certification was completed by the time of filing the 
entry summary or within 45 days of the date on which Commerce 
published its preliminary circumvention findings in the Federal 
Register.
    Q. I am aware that U.S. law (including, but not limited to, 18 
U.S.C. 1001) imposes criminal sanctions on individuals who knowingly
