Office of Export Enforcement (‘‘OEE’’),
has requested that I make the Denial
Order that was imposed against the
individual Ruo Ling Wang (‘‘Wang’’) on
April 18, 2006 (71 Fed. Reg. 23897,
April 25, 2006) applicable to Credit
International Trading Co, Ltd (11th
Institute), (‘‘Credit International’’), with
addresses at: No. 2 Zhong Guan Cun
Nan Street, Haidian District, Beijing
100039, People’s Republic of China, and
No 9A Dongtucheng Road, Heping
Street, Chaoyang District, Beijing,
People’s Republic of China, (hereinafter,
the ‘‘Related Person’’), as a person
related to Wang.
Section 766.23 of the EAR provides
that ‘‘[i]n order to prevent evasion,
certain types of orders under this part
may be made applicable not only to the
respondent, but also to other persons
then or thereafter related to the
respondent by ownership, control,
position of responsibility, affiliation, or
other connection in the conduct of trade
or business. Orders that may be made
applicable to related persons include
those that deny or affect export
privileges * * *.’’ 15 CFR 766.23(a).
On April 18, 2006, then Director of
Office of Exporter Services issued an
Order pursuant to Section 11(h) of the
Export Administration Act of 1979, as
amended (currently codified at 50
U.S.C. app. §§ 2401–2420 (2000))
(‘‘Act’’) 2 and Section 766.25 of the EAR
denying the export privileges under the
Regulations of Wang for 10 years. The
Order was based on Wang’s conviction
of violating the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et
seq. (2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’). Wang was
convicted of knowingly and willfully
making a false statement and concealing
a material fact from the Bureau of
Industry Security (‘‘BIS’’) and the former
U.S. Customs Service.
BIS has presented evidence that
indicates that Credit International is
related to Wang by ownership, control,
position of responsibility, affiliation, or
other connection in the conduct of trade
or business, and that it is necessary to
add this entity to the Wang Denial Order
in order to avoid evasion of that Order.
The basis for naming Credit
International to the Wang Denial Order
is that Wang acting for, as, or on behalf
of Credit International, is actively
2 50 U.S.C. app. §§ 2401–2420 (2000). Since
August 21, 2001, the Act has been in lapse and the
President, through Executive Order 13222 of August
17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which
has been extended by successive Presidential
Notices, the most recent being that of August 12,
2010 (75 FR 50681 (Aug. 16, 2010)), has continued
the Regulations in effect under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701
et seq. (2000)).

involved in attempting to procure items
for export from the United States.
As provided in Section 766.23 of the
EAR, I gave notice to Credit
International that its export privileges
under the EAR could be denied for up
to 10 years due to its relationship with
Wang and that BIS believes naming
Credit International as a related party to
Wang would be necessary to prevent
evasion of a denial order imposed
against Wang. In providing such notice,
I gave Credit International an
opportunity to oppose its addition to the
Wang Denial Order as a related party.
Having received no submission, I have
decided, following consultations with
BIS’s Office of Export Enforcement,
including its Director, to name Credit
International as a Related Person to the
Wang Denial Order, thereby denying
Credit International export privileges for
10 years from the date of Wang’s
conviction.
I have also decided to revoke all
licenses issued pursuant to the Act or
EAR in which Credit International had
an interest at the time of Wang’s
conviction. The 10-year denial period
will end on May 2, 2015.
Accordingly, it is hereby
Ordered
First, that having been provided
notice and opportunity for comment as
provided in Sections 766.25 and 766.23
of the Export Administration
Regulations (the ‘‘Regulations’’), the
following entity, Credit International
Trading Co., Ltd. (11th Institute)
(‘‘Credit International’’), with last known
addresses at No. 2 Zhong Guan Cun Nan

People’s Republic of China, and No 9A
Dongtucheng Road, Heping Street,
Chaoyang District, Beijing, People’s
Republic of China has been determined
to be related to Wang by affiliation,
ownership, control, or position of
responsibility in the conduct of trade or
related services, and it has been deemed
necessary to make the Order denying
the export privileges of Wang applicable
to Credit International in order to
prevent evasion of the Wang Denial
Order.
Second, that the denial of export
privileges described in the Wang Denial
Order, which was published in the
Federal Register on April 25, 2006 at 71
FR 23896, shall be made applicable to
Credit International until its expiration
on May 2, 2015, as follows:

Case History
The following events have occurred
since the publication of the Department
of Commerce’s (‘‘Department’’) notice of
initiation in the Federal Register. See
Multilayered Wood Flooring from the
People’s Republic of China: Initiation of
Countervailing Duty Investigation, 75 FR
70719 (November 18, 2010) (‘‘Initiation
Notice’’), and the accompanying
Initiation Checklist.
On November 18, 2010, the
Department released the U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data for
the instant investigation under
administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’)
to all parties with APO access. See
Memorandum to File from Matthew
Jordan, International Trade Compliance
Analyst, ‘‘Release of Customs and
Border Protection Entry Data to
Interested Parties for Comment’’
(November 18, 2010) at Attachment 1.
This memorandum is on file in the
Department’s Central Records Unit
(‘‘CRU’’) in Room 7046 of the main
Department building. We received
comments on this CBP data from Fine
Furniture (Shanghai) Ltd. (‘‘Fine
Furniture’’) on November 19, 2010, and
Dun Hua City Jisen Wood Industry Co.,
Ltd. and Chinafloors Timber (China)
Co., Ltd. on November 24, 2010. We
received comments from Shanghai
Lizhong Wood Product Co., Ltd. and the
Coalition for American Hardwood Parity
(Anderson Hardwood Floors, LLC;
Award Hardwood Floors; Baker’s Creek
Wood Floors, Inc.; From the Forest;
Howell Hardwood Flooring;
Mannington Mills, Inc.; Nydree
Flooring; Shaw Industries Group, Inc.)
(collectively, ‘‘Petitioner’’) on November
26, 2010.
In their comments, the interested
parties unanimously requested that the
Department forgo using CBP data for its
selection of mandatory respondents.
Instead, the parties stated, the
Department should issue quantity and
value (‘‘Q&V’’) questionnaires to the
companies identified by Petitioner as
potential producers/exporters of the
subject merchandise. After examining
the CBP data, the Department agreed
that the data did not provide a basis for
selecting respondents and determined it
was necessary to issue Q&Vs.
On December 2, 2010, and December
3, 2010, the Department issued Q&Vs to
the 174 companies listed in the Petition,
plus two additional companies that
identified themselves via requests for

Section 766.23 of the EAR provides that ``[i]n order to prevent

CFR 766.23(a).
On April 18, 2006, then Director of Office of Exporter Services
issued an Order pursuant to Section 11(h) of the Export Administration
Act of 1979, as amended (currently codified at 50 U.S.C. app.
Sec. Sec. 2401-2420 (2000)) (``Act'') \2\ and Section 766.25 of the
EAR denying the export privileges under the Regulations of Wang for 10
years. The Order was based on Wang's conviction of violating the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.
(2000)) (``IEEPA''). Wang was convicted of knowingly and willfully
making a false statement and concealing a material fact from the Bureau

has continued the Regulations in effect under the International

BIS has presented evidence that indicates that Credit International
is related to Wang by ownership, control, position of responsibility,
affiliation, or other connection in the conduct of trade or business,
and that it is necessary to add this entity to the Wang Denial Order in
order to avoid evasion of that Order. The basis for naming Credit
International to the Wang Denial Order is that Wang acting for, as, or
on behalf of Credit International, is actively involved in attempting
to procure items for export from the United States.
As provided in Section 766.23 of the EAR, I gave notice to Credit
International that its export privileges under the EAR could be denied
for up to 10 years due to its relationship with Wang and that BIS
believes naming Credit International as a related party to Wang would
be necessary to prevent evasion of a denial order imposed against Wang.
In providing such notice, I gave Credit International an opportunity to

received no submission, I have decided, following consultations with
BIS's Office of Export Enforcement, including its Director, to name
Credit International as a Related Person to the Wang Denial Order,
