Postponement of the Final
Determination
In the Preliminary Determination, the
Department stated that it would make
its final determination for this
antidumping duty investigation no later
than 75 days after the preliminary
determination.
Section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of
1930 (‘‘the Act’’) provides that a final
determination may be postponed until
not later than 135 days after the date of
the publication of the preliminary
determination if, in the event of an
affirmative determination, a request for
such postponement is made by
exporters who account for a significant
proportion of exports of the subject
merchandise, or in the event of a
negative preliminary determination, a
request for such postponement is made
by petitioner. In addition, section
351.210(e)(2) of the Department’s
regulations require that requests by
respondents for postponement of a final
determination be accompanied by a
request for extension of provisional
measures from a four month period to
not more than six months.
On April 7, 2015, Zhongda United
Holding Group Co., Ltd., one of the two
mandatory respondents in this
investigation, requested a 60-day
extension of the final determination and
extension of the provisional measures.
Thus, because our amended preliminary
determination is affirmative, and the
respondent requesting a postponement
of the final determination and an
extension of the provisional measures
accounts for a significant proportion of
exports of boltless steel shelving, and no
compelling reasons for denial exist, we
are postponing the deadline for the final
determination by 60 days until August
14, 2015, based on the publication date

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 9, 2015, the Department
disclosed to interested parties its
calculations for the Final Results.2 On
March 16, 2015 we received a
ministerial error allegation from Jiangsu
RC Import & Export Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu
RC).3
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
are HSLWs. The product is currently
classified under subheading
7318.21.0000, 7318.21.0030, and
7318.21.0090 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written product
description is dispositive. A full
description of the scope of the order is

Washers from the People’s Republic of China;

Ministerial Error
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (Act), and 19 CFR
351.224(f) define a ‘‘ministerial error’’ as
an error ‘‘in addition, subtraction, or
other arithmetic function, clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any similar
type of unintentional error which the
Secretary considers ministerial.’’ We
have analyzed Jiangsu RC’s ministerial
error comments and have determined,
in accordance with section 751(h) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), that we
made ministerial errors in our
calculations for the Final Results. For
the Final Results, the Department
identified and valued five labor inputs
to use in calculating the surrogate value
for Jiangsu RC.5 In calculating the
surrogate value, the Department
inadvertently double-counted two of
these five labor inputs.6
In accordance with section 751(h) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are
amending the Final Results. The revised
weighted-average dumping margins are
detailed below.
Amended Final Results of Review
As a result of correcting this
ministerial error, we determine that the
following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the POR: 7

Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review. For customers or importers of
Jiangsu RC for which we do not have
entered value, we calculated customer/importer-specific antidumping duty
assessment amounts based on the ratio
of the total amount of dumping duties
calculated for the examined sales of
subject merchandise to the total sales
quantity of those same sales. For
customers or importers of Jiangsu RC for
which we received entered-value
information, we have calculated
customer/importer-specific
antidumping duty assessment rates
based on customer/importer-specific ad
valorem rates in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1).
The Department announced a
refinement to its assessment practice in
NME cases. Pursuant to this refinement
in practice, for entries that were not
reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by companies individually
examined during this review, including,
in this case, Suzhou Guoxin Group
Wang Shun Imp. and Exp. Co., Ltd.
(Guoxin) and Winnsen Industry Co.,
Ltd. (Winnsen), the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the revised PRC-wide rate of 189.81
percent.8 In addition, for companies for
which the Department determined that
the exporter under review had no
shipments of the subject merchandise,
any suspended entries that entered
under that exporter’s case number (i.e.,
at that exporter’s rate) will be liquidated
at the PRC-wide rate. We intend to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these
amended final results of review.
Notification
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary

eligible for a separate rate and that Winnsen, whose
request for a review was timely withdrawn, had not
been assigned a separate rate.

Timely written notification of the return

conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
These amended final results of review
are issued and published in accordance
with section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of
