SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Case History
On December 29, 2011, the
Department received a countervailing
duty (CVD) petition concerning imports
of garment hangers from Vietnam filed
in proper form by M&B Metal Products
Company, Inc., Innovative Fabrication
LLC/Indy Hanger, and US Hanger
Company, LLC (collectively,
petitioners).3 The Department initiated
an investigation on January 18, 2012.4 In
the Initiation, the Department stated
that it intended to rely on data from U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
for purposes of selecting the mandatory
respondents.5 On January 18, 2012, the
Department released the results of a
query performed on the CBP’s database
for calendar year 2011.6 Due to the large
number of producers and exporters of
garment hangers in Vietnam, we
determined that it was not practicable to
individually investigate each producer
and/or exporter. We, therefore, selected
the following two producers and/or
exporters of garment hangers to be
mandatory respondents: Infinite and
SEA Hamico, the largest publicly
identifiable producers and/or exporters
of the subject merchandise.7 On
February 10, 2012, we issued the initial
CVD questionnaire to the Government of
the Vietnam (GOV) and the selected
mandatory respondents. We also issued
a confirmation of shipment
questionnaire on the same date to
Infinite and SEA Hamico.
On February 14, 2012, Infinite and
SEA Hamico confirmed that they
shipped subject merchandise to the
United States during the period of
investigation (POI). On March 2, 2012,
the Department postponed the deadline
3 See Petition for the Imposition of Countervailing
Duties (Petition). A public version of the Petition
and all other public documents and public versions
for this investigation are available on the public file
in the Central Records Unit (CRU), Room 7046 of
the main Department of Commerce building.
