Continuation of the Order
As a result of these determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the antidumping duty
order 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 Act, the Department
hereby orders the continuation of the
antidumping order on wooden bedroom
furniture from the PRC. U.S. 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 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 Act and published
pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act.

limited to the issues raised in those case
briefs, five days subsequent to the case

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
order is circular welded non-alloy steel
pipes and tubes, of circular crosssection, not more than 406.4 millimeters
(16 inches) in outside diameter,
regardless of wall thickness, surface
finish (black, galvanized, or painted), or
end finish (plain end, beveled end,

known as standard pipes and tubes and
are intended for the low-pressure
conveyance of water, steam, natural gas,
and other liquids and gases in plumbing
and heating systems, air conditioning
units, automatic sprinkler systems, and
other related uses, and generally meet
ASTM A–53 specifications. Standard
pipe may also be used for light loadbearing applications, such as for fence
tubing, and as structural pipe tubing
used for framing and support members
for reconstruction or load-bearing
purposes in the construction,
shipbuilding, trucking, farm equipment,
and related industries. Unfinished
conduit pipe is also included in this
order. All carbon steel pipes and tubes
within the physical description outlined
above are included within the scope of
this order, except line pipe, oil country
tubular goods, boiler tubing, mechanical

redraws, finished scaffolding, and
finished conduit. Standard pipe that is
dual or triple certified/stenciled that

a kind used for oil or gas pipelines is
also not included in this order.
