On December 1, 2011, the ITC notified
the Department of its final
determination pursuant to sections
705(b)(1)(A)(ii) and 705(d) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),
that an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of
subsidized imports of subject
merchandise from the PRC. See
Multilayered Wood Flooring from China,
USITC Investigation Nos. 701–TA–476
and 731–TA–1179, USITC Publication
4278 (November 2011).
Scope of the Order
Multilayered wood flooring is
composed of an assembly of two or
more layers or plies of wood veneer(s) 1
in combination with a core. The several
layers, along with the core, are glued or
otherwise bonded together to form a
final assembled product. Multilayered
wood flooring is often referred to by
other terms, e.g., ‘‘engineered wood
flooring’’ or ‘‘plywood flooring.’’
Regardless of the particular terminology,
all products that meet the description
set forth herein are intended for
inclusion within the definition of
subject merchandise.
All multilayered wood flooring is
included within the definition of subject
merchandise, without regard to:
dimension (overall thickness, thickness
of face ply, thickness of back ply,
thickness of core, and thickness of inner
plies; width; and length); wood species
used for the face, back and inner
veneers; core composition; and face
grade. Multilayered wood flooring
included within the definition of subject
merchandise may be unfinished (i.e.,
without a finally finished surface to
protect the face veneer from wear and
tear) or ‘‘prefinished’’ (i.e., a coating
applied to the face veneer, including,
but not exclusively, oil or oil-modified
or water-based polyurethanes, ultraviolet light cured polyurethanes, wax,
epoxy-ester finishes, moisture-cured
urethanes and acid-curing formaldehyde
finishes.) The veneers may be also
soaked in an acrylic-impregnated finish.
All multilayered wood flooring is
included within the definition of subject
merchandise regardless of whether the
face (or back) of the product is smooth,
wire brushed, distressed by any method
or multiple methods, or hand-scraped.
In addition, all multilayered wood
flooring is included within the
definition of subject merchandise
regardless of whether or not it is
manufactured with any interlocking or
connecting mechanism (for example,
1 A ‘‘veneer’’ is a thin slice of wood, rotary cut,
sliced or sawed from a log, bolt or flitch. Veneer is
referred to as a ply when assembled.

tongue-and-groove construction or
locking joints). All multilayered wood
flooring is included within the
definition of the subject merchandise
regardless of whether the product meets
a particular industry or similar
standard.
The core of multilayered wood
flooring may be composed of a range of
materials, including but not limited to
hardwood or softwood veneer,
particleboard, medium-density
fiberboard, high-density fiberboard
(‘‘HDF’’), stone and/or plastic
composite, or strips of lumber placed
edge-to-edge.
Multilayered wood flooring products
generally, but not exclusively, may be in
the form of a strip, plank, or other
geometrical patterns (e.g., circular,
hexagonal). All multilayered wood
flooring products are included within
this definition regardless of the actual or
nominal dimensions or form of the
product.
Specifically excluded from the scope
are cork flooring and bamboo flooring,
regardless of whether any of the subsurface layers of either flooring are
made from wood. Also excluded is
laminate flooring. Laminate flooring
consists of a top wear layer sheet not
made of wood, a decorative paper layer,
a core-layer of HDF, and a stabilizing
bottom layer.
Imports of the subject merchandise
are provided for under the following
subheadings of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States

Countervailing Duty Order
On April 6, 2011, the Department
published its preliminary determination
and instructed U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to suspend
liquidation of all entries of subject
merchandise entered or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption, on or after
April 6, 2011, except 1) Zhejiang Layo
Wood Industry Co., Ltd., and its affiliate
Jiaxing Brilliant Import & Export Co.,
Ltd., and 2) Zhejiang Yuhua Timber Co.,
Ltd., because their subsidies were de
minimis. See Multilayered Wood
Flooring From the People’s Republic of
China: Preliminary Affirmative
Countervailing Duty Determination, 76
FR 19034 (April 6, 2011). In accordance
with section 703(d) of the Act, which
states that the suspension of liquidation
pursuant to a preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months, the Department terminated
suspension of liquidation effective
August 4, 2011. Therefore, entries of
multilayered wood flooring made on or
after August 4, 2011, and prior to the
date of publication of the ITC’s final
determination in the Federal Register
are not liable for the assessment of CVDs
due to the Department’s discontinuation
of the suspension of liquidation.
In accordance with section 706(a)(1)
of the Act, the Department will direct
CBP to reinstitute suspension of
liquidation effective the date of
publication of the ITC final
determination in the Federal Register.
The Department will also direct CBP to
assess, upon further advice by the
Department pursuant to section
706(a)(1) of the Act, CVDs for each entry
of the subject merchandise in an amount
based on the net countervailable
subsidy rates for the subject
merchandise as noted below. Because 1)
Zhejiang Layo Wood Industry Co., Ltd.,
and its affiliate Jiaxing Brilliant Import
& Export Co., Ltd., and 2) Zhejiang
Yuhua Timber Co., Ltd. received de
minimis net subsidy rates in the Final

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

[C-570-971]
Multilayered Wood Flooring From the People's Republic of China:
Countervailing Duty Order
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final determinations by the Department of
Commerce (``the Department'') and the International Trade Commission
(``ITC''), the Department is issuing a countervailing duty (``CVD'')
order on multilayered wood flooring from the People's Republic of China
(``PRC'').
DATES: Effective Date: December 8, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joshua Morris, AD/CVD Operations,
Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-1779.
Background
On October 18, 2011, the Department published its final
determination that countervailable subsidies are being provided to
producers and exporters of multilayered wood flooring from the PRC. See
Multilayered Wood Flooring From the People's Republic of China: Final
Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 76 FR 64313 (October 18,
2011) (``Final Determination'').
[[Page 76694]]
On December 1, 2011, the ITC notified the Department of its final
determination pursuant to sections 705(b)(1)(A)(ii) and 705(d) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of subsidized imports of
subject merchandise from the PRC. See Multilayered Wood Flooring from
China, USITC Investigation Nos. 701-TA-476 and 731-TA-1179, USITC
Publication 4278 (November 2011).
Scope of the Order
Multilayered wood flooring is composed of an assembly of two or
more layers or plies of wood veneer(s) \1\ in combination with a core.
The several layers, along with the core, are glued or otherwise bonded
together to form a final assembled product. Multilayered wood flooring
is often referred to by other terms, e.g., ``engineered wood flooring''
or ``plywood flooring.'' Regardless of the particular terminology, all
products that meet the description set forth herein are intended for
inclusion within the definition of subject merchandise.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ A ``veneer'' is a thin slice of wood, rotary cut, sliced or
sawed from a log, bolt or flitch. Veneer is referred to as a ply
when assembled.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All multilayered wood flooring is included within the definition of
subject merchandise, without regard to: dimension (overall thickness,
thickness of face ply, thickness of back ply, thickness of core, and
thickness of inner plies; width; and length); wood species used for the
face, back and inner veneers; core composition; and face grade.
Multilayered wood flooring included within the definition of subject
merchandise may be unfinished (i.e., without a finally finished surface
to protect the face veneer from wear and tear) or ``prefinished''
(i.e., a coating applied to the face veneer, including, but not
exclusively, oil or oil-modified or water-based polyurethanes, ultra-
violet light cured polyurethanes, wax, epoxy-ester finishes, moisture-
cured urethanes and acid-curing formaldehyde finishes.) The veneers may
be also soaked in an acrylic-impregnated finish. All multilayered wood
flooring is included within the definition of subject merchandise
regardless of whether the face (or back) of the product is smooth, wire
brushed, distressed by any method or multiple methods, or hand-scraped.
In addition, all multilayered wood flooring is included within the
definition of subject merchandise regardless of whether or not it is
manufactured with any interlocking or connecting mechanism (for
example, tongue-and-groove construction or locking joints). All
multilayered wood flooring is included within the definition of the
subject merchandise regardless of whether the product meets a
particular industry or similar standard.
The core of multilayered wood flooring may be composed of a range
of materials, including but not limited to hardwood or softwood veneer,
particleboard, medium-density fiberboard, high-density fiberboard
(``HDF''), stone and/or plastic composite, or strips of lumber placed
edge-to-edge.
Multilayered wood flooring products generally, but not exclusively,
may be in the form of a strip, plank, or other geometrical patterns
(e.g., circular, hexagonal). All multilayered wood flooring products
are included within this definition regardless of the actual or nominal
dimensions or form of the product.
Specifically excluded from the scope are cork flooring and bamboo
flooring, regardless of whether any of the sub-surface layers of either
flooring are made from wood. Also excluded is laminate flooring.
Laminate flooring consists of a top wear layer sheet not made of wood,
a decorative paper layer, a core-layer of HDF, and a stabilizing bottom
layer.
Imports of the subject merchandise are provided for under the
following subheadings of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (``HTSUS''): 4412.31.0520; 4412.31.0540; 4412.31.0560;

and 4418.72.9500.
While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the subject merchandise is
dispositive.
Countervailing Duty Order
On April 6, 2011, the Department published its preliminary
determination and instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') to suspend liquidation of all entries of subject merchandise
entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after April
6, 2011, except 1) Zhejiang Layo Wood Industry Co., Ltd., and its
affiliate Jiaxing Brilliant Import & Export Co., Ltd., and 2) Zhejiang
Yuhua Timber Co., Ltd., because their subsidies were de minimis. See
Multilayered Wood Flooring From the People's Republic of China:
Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 76 FR 19034
(April 6, 2011). In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, which
states that the suspension of liquidation pursuant to a preliminary
determination may not remain in effect for more than four months, the
Department terminated suspension of liquidation effective August 4,
2011. Therefore, entries of multilayered wood flooring made on or after
August 4, 2011, and prior to the date of publication of the ITC's final
determination in the Federal Register are not liable for the assessment
of CVDs due to the Department's discontinuation of the suspension of
liquidation.
In accordance with section 706(a)(1) of the Act, the Department
will direct CBP to reinstitute suspension of liquidation effective the
date of publication of the ITC final determination in the Federal
Register. The Department will also direct CBP to assess, upon further
advice by the Department pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, CVDs
for each entry of the subject merchandise in an amount based on the net
countervailable subsidy rates for the subject merchandise as noted
below. Because 1) Zhejiang Layo Wood Industry Co., Ltd., and its
affiliate Jiaxing Brilliant Import & Export Co., Ltd., and 2) Zhejiang
Yuhua Timber Co., Ltd. received de minimis net subsidy rates in the
Final
[[Page 76695]]
Determination they are excluded from this CVD order.
