SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 2, 2009, the Department initiated a sunset review of 
the antidumping duty order on hand trucks from the PRC pursuant to 
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act). 
See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Reviews, 74 FR 56593 (November 
2, 2009).
    As a result of its review, the Department determined that 
revocation of the antidumping duty order on hand trucks from the PRC 
would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and, 
therefore, notified the Commission of the magnitude of the margins 
likely to prevail should the order be revoked. See Hand Trucks and 
Certain Parts Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Final 
Results of Expedited Five-year (Sunset) Review of Antidumping Duty 
Order, 75 FR 11120 (March 10, 2010).
    On March 31, 2010, the Commission determined, pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Tariff Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order 
on hand trucks from the PRC would likely lead to a continuation or 
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States 
within the reasonably foreseeable future. See USITC Publication 4138 
(April 2010), and Hand Trucks and Certain Parts Thereof from the 
People's Republic of China, 75 FR 20862 (April 21, 2010).

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to this antidumping duty order consists of 
hand trucks manufactured from any material, whether assembled or 
unassembled, complete or incomplete, suitable for any use, and certain 
parts thereof, namely the vertical frame, the handling area and the 
projecting edges or toe plate, and any combination thereof.
    A complete or fully assembled hand truck is a hand-propelled barrow 
consisting of a vertically disposed frame having a handle or more than 
one handle at or near the upper section of the vertical frame; at least 
two wheels at or near the lower section of the vertical frame; and a 
horizontal projecting edge or edges, or toe plate, perpendicular or 
angled to the vertical frame, at or near the lower section of the 
vertical frame. The projecting edge or edges, or toe plate, slides 
under a load for purposes of lifting and/or moving the load.
    That the vertical frame can be converted from a vertical setting to 
a horizontal setting, then operated in that horizontal setting as a 
platform, is not a basis for exclusion of the hand truck from the scope 
of this order. That the vertical frame, handling area, wheels, 
projecting edges or other parts of the hand truck can be collapsed or 
folded is not a basis for exclusion of the hand truck from the scope of 
the order. That other wheels may be connected to the vertical frame, 
handling area, projecting edges, or other parts of the hand truck, in 
addition to the two or more wheels located at or near the lower section 
of the vertical frame, is not a basis for exclusion of the hand truck 
from the scope of the order. Finally, that the hand truck may exhibit 
physical characteristics in addition to the vertical frame, the 
handling area, the projecting edges or toe plate, and the two wheels at 
or near the lower section of the vertical frame, is not a basis for 
exclusion of the hand truck from the scope of the order.
    Examples of names commonly used to reference hand trucks are hand 
truck, convertible hand truck, appliance hand truck, cylinder hand 
truck, bag truck, dolly, or hand trolley. They are typically imported 
under heading 8716.80.50.10 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States (HTSUS), although they may also be imported under heading 
8716.80.50.90. Specific parts of a hand truck, namely the vertical 
frame, the handling area and the projecting edges or toe plate, or any 
combination thereof, are typically imported under heading 8716.90.50.60 
of the HTSUS. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for 
convenience and customs purposes, the Department's written description 
of the scope is dispositive.
    Excluded from the scope are small two-wheel or four-wheel utility 
carts specifically designed for carrying loads like personal bags or 
luggage in which the frame is made from telescoping tubular materials 
measuring less than 5/8 inch in diameter; hand trucks that use 
motorized operations either to move the hand truck from one location to 
the next or to assist in the lifting of items placed on the hand truck; 
vertical carriers designed specifically to transport golf bags; and 
wheels and tires used in the manufacture of hand trucks. The written 
description remains dispositive.

Continuation of the Order

    As a result of these determinations by the Department and the 
Commission that revocation of the antidumping duty order on hand trucks 
would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and 
material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to 
section 751(d)(2) of the Tariff Act, the Department hereby orders the 
continuation of the antidumping order on hand trucks from the PRC. 
United States Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect 
antidumping duty cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of 
entry for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective date of the 
continuation of the order will be the date of publication in the 
Federal Register of this notice of continuation.
    Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Tariff Act, the Department 
intends to initiate the next five-year review of the order not later 
than 30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of 
continuation.
    This five-year (sunset) review and this notice are in accordance 
with section 751(c) of the Tariff Act and published pursuant to section 
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act.

    Dated: April 22,2010.
