No parties commented on our intent to rescind with respect to these companies. However, because as noted above, these companies were part of the PRC-wide entity during the POR, they have remained under review as part of the PRC-wide entity. Our determination with respect to the PRC-wide entity is explained below in the section entitled ‘‘Adverse Facts Available (AFA).’’ Adverse Facts Available (AFA) In the Preliminary Results, pursuant to sections 776(a)(2)(A) and (C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the Department based the dumping margin of the PRC-wide entity on the facts otherwise available on the record. Additionally, the Department determined, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act, that with respect to the PRCwide entity the use of an adverse inference is warranted in selecting from the facts otherwise available. Consistent with its practice, the Department assigned a rate of 216.01 percent, the highest margin from any prior segment of the proceeding, to the PRC-wide entity as AFA.38 No interested party commented on the rate assigned to the PRC-wide entity and we have made no changes from our Preliminary Results with respect to this issue. As explained in the Preliminary Results, the Department corroborated the 216.01 percent rate pursuant to section 776(c) and considers the rate to be reliable and relevant with respect to the PRC-wide entity. Specifically, the Department found the rate to be reliable because it is a company-specific margin calculated in the 2004–2005 new shipper review of the wooden bedroom furniture order and no additional information was presented in the current review to call into question the reliability of the rate. We also found the rate to be relevant with respect to the PRC-wide entity because it is within the range of transaction-specific margins on the record of the two prior administrative reviews.39 No party has commented on the Department’s corroboration of the selected total AFA rate for the PRC-wide entity. Final Results of the Review We determine that the following weighted-average percentage margin exists for the POR: 38 See 39 See PO 00000 Preliminary Results, 76 FR 65684, 65691.

The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final results of this review. For Tube-Smith and the other entities for which the Department has rescinded this review which are not part of the PRC-wide entity, antidumping duties shall be assessed on period of review entries at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Antidumping duties shall be assessed on period of review entries from the PRC-wide entity at 216.01 percent. In addition, pursuant to an injunction issued in Legacy Classic Furniture, Inc. v.

Cheval Mirrors in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Wooden 
Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic of China,'' dated 
August 31, 2004. See also Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the People's

    \19\ Metal furniture parts and unfinished furniture parts made 
of wood products (as defined above) that are not otherwise 
specifically named in this scope (i.e., wooden headboards for beds, 
wooden footboards for beds, wooden side rails for beds, and wooden 
canopies for beds) and that do not possess the essential character 
of wooden bedroom furniture in an unassembled, incomplete, or 
unfinished form. Such parts are usually classified under HTSUS 
subheadings 9403.90.7005, 9403.90.7010, or 9403.90.7080.
    \20\ Upholstered beds that are completely upholstered, i.e., 
containing filling material and completely covered in sewn genuine 
leather, synthetic leather, or natural or synthetic decorative 
fabric. To be excluded, the entire bed (headboards, footboards, and 
side rails) must be upholstered except for bed feet, which may be of 
wood, metal, or any other material and which are no more than nine 
inches in height from the floor. See Wooden Bedroom Furniture from 
the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Changed 
Circumstances Review and Determination to Revoke Order in Part, 72 
FR 7013 (February 14, 2007).
    \21\ To be excluded the toy box must: (1) Be wider than it is

playthings. See Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic 
of China: Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review and 
Determination to Revoke Order in Part, 74 FR 8506 (February 25, 
2009). Further, as determined in the scope ruling memorandum 
``Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic of China: 
Scope Ruling on a White Toy Box,'' dated July 6, 2009, the 
dimensional ranges used to identify the toy boxes that are excluded 
from the wooden bedroom furniture order apply to the box itself 
rather than the lid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Imports of subject merchandise are classified under subheadings 
9403.50.9042 and 9403.50.9045 of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule 
(HTSUS) as ``wooden * * * beds'' and under subheading 9403.50.9080 of 
the HTSUS as ``other * * * wooden furniture of a kind used in the 
bedroom.'' In addition, wooden headboards for beds, wooden footboards 
for beds, wooden side rails for beds, and wooden canopies for beds may 
also be entered under subheading 9403.50.9042 or 9403.50.9045 of the 
HTSUS as ``parts of wood.'' Subject merchandise may also be entered 
under subheadings 9403.50.9041, 9403.60.8081, 9403.20.0018, or 
9403.90.8041. Further, framed glass mirrors may be entered under 
subheading 7009.92.1000 or 7009.92.5000 of the HTSUS as ``glass mirrors 
* * * framed.'' The order covers all wooden bedroom furniture meeting 
the above description, regardless of tariff classification. Although 
the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs 
purposes, our written description of the scope of this proceeding is 
dispositive.

Separate Rates

Companies Not Providing Separate Rate Certifications or Applications

    In the Preliminary Results, we stated that the following 14 
companies or

[[Page 51756]]

company groupings for which the Department initiated the instant review 
did not provide a separate rate certification or application and 
therefore have not demonstrated their eligibility for separate rate 
status in this administrative review:

 Dongguan Bon Ten Furniture Co., Ltd.
 Dongguan Grand Style Furniture Co. Ltd.; Hong Kong Da Zhi 
Furniture Co., Ltd.
 Dongguan Hero Way Woodwork Co., Ltd.; Dongguan Da Zhong 
Woodwork Co., Ltd.; Hero Way Enterprises Ltd.; Well Earth International 
Ltd.
 Dongguan Mu Si Furniture Co., Ltd.
 Hainan Jong Bao Lumber Co., Ltd.; Jibbon Enterprise Co., Ltd.

 Shanghai Fangjia Industry Co. Ltd.
 Winny Overseas, Ltd.; Zhongshan Winny Furniture Ltd.; Winny

    In the Preliminary Results, we also found that (1) Baigou Crafts 
Factory of Fengkai, (2) Locke Furniture Factory; Kai Chan Furniture 
Co., Ltd.; Kai Chan (Hong Kong) Enterprise Ltd.; Taiwan Kai Chan Co., 
Ltd, (collectively, Locke Furniture Factory) and (3) Zhangjiang Sunwin 
Arts & Crafts Co., Ltd. (Sunwin) had shipped subject merchandise during 
the POR despite reporting that they made no shipments of subject 
merchandise to the United States during the POR. Because these 
companies had not timely filed separate rate certifications or 
applications, thereby failing to provide separate rate information and 
demonstrate their eligibility for a separate rate, we treated these 
companies as part of the PRC-wide entity. Since the Preliminary 
Results, no interested parties submitted comments regarding the 
companies listed above. Therefore, for the final results, we continue 
to treat these entities as part of the PRC-Wide entity.

Final Partial Rescission of Administrative Review

    The Department has reconsidered the facts of this case and the 
arguments made by interested parties. Based on the particular fact 
pattern present here, and for the reasons stated in the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum, the Department is rescinding the administrative 
review with respect to Tube-Smith.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Issue 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the Preliminary Results, the Department stated its intent to 
rescind the administrative review with respect to the following 
companies because they all reported that they made no shipments during 
the POR.

 Hangzhou Cadman Trading Co., Ltd.
 Dongguan Huangsheng Furniture Co., Ltd.
 Golden Well International (HK) Ltd.
 Zhejiang Tianyi Scientific and Educational Equipment Co., Ltd.

    No parties commented on our intent to rescind. Because there is no 
information or argument on the record of the current review that 
warrants reconsidering our intent to rescind, we are rescinding this 
administrative review with respect to the above-listed companies.
    In the Preliminary Results, the Department also stated its intent 
to rescind the administrative review with respect to the following 
companies, which were part of the PRC-wide entity during the POR, 
because all requesting parties withdrew their respective requests for 
an administrative review within 90 days of the date of publication of 
the notice of initiation:

    \23\ Because Brother Furniture Manufacture Co., Ltd. lost its 
separate rate on August 18, 2010 (see 4th Review Final Results), and

eligibility for a separate rate in this review, the Department is 
treating this company as part of the PRC-wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ Because Dongguan Hua Ban Furniture Co., Ltd. lost its

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    No parties commented on our intent to rescind with respect to these 
companies. However, because as noted above, these companies were part 
of the PRC-wide entity during the POR, they have remained under review 
as part of the PRC-wide entity. Our determination with respect to the 
PRC-wide entity is explained below in the section entitled ``Adverse 
Facts Available (AFA).''

Adverse Facts Available (AFA)

    In the Preliminary Results, pursuant to sections 776(a)(2)(A) and 
(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the Department 
based the dumping margin of the PRC-wide entity on the facts otherwise 
available on the record. Additionally, the Department determined, 
pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act, that with respect to the PRC-
wide entity the use of an adverse inference is warranted in selecting 
from the facts otherwise available. Consistent with its practice, the 
Department assigned a rate of 216.01 percent, the highest margin from 
any prior segment of the proceeding, to the PRC-wide entity as AFA.\38\ 
No interested party commented on the rate assigned to the PRC-wide 
entity and we have made no changes from our Preliminary Results with 
respect to this issue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \38\ See Preliminary Results, 76 FR 65684, 65691.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As explained in the Preliminary Results, the Department 
corroborated the 216.01 percent rate pursuant to section 776(c) and 
considers the rate to be reliable and relevant with respect to the PRC-
wide entity. Specifically, the Department found the rate to be reliable 
because it is a company-specific margin calculated in the 2004-2005 new 
shipper review of the wooden bedroom furniture order and no additional 
information was presented in the current review to call into question 
the reliability of the rate. We also found the rate to be relevant with 
respect to the PRC-wide entity because it is within the range of 
transaction-specific margins on the record of the two prior 
administrative reviews.\39\ No party has commented on the Department's 
corroboration of the selected total AFA rate for the PRC-wide entity.

    \39\ See Preliminary Results, 76 FR 65684, 65692.

Final Results of the Review

    We determine that the following weighted-average percentage margin 
exists for the POR:

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
the Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of 
subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this 
review. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 
15 days after the publication date of the final results of this review.
    For Tube-Smith and the other entities for which the Department has 
rescinded this review which are not part of the PRC-wide entity, 
antidumping duties shall be assessed on period of review entries at 
rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties 
required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for 
consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Antidumping 
duties shall be assessed on period of review entries from the PRC-wide 
entity at 216.01 percent.
    In addition, pursuant to an injunction issued in Legacy Classic 
Furniture, Inc. v. United States, CIT No. 10-00352 on December 28, 
2010, the Department must continue to suspend liquidations of entries 
of the heritage court bench (model 800-4800) which were imported by 
Legacy Classic Furniture, Inc. pending a conclusive court decision.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously 
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above 
that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the 
exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (2) for 
all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be 
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide 
rate of 216.01 percent; and (3) for all non-PRC exporters of subject 
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that supplied 
that non-PRC exporter. These deposit

requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Notification of Interested Parties

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under the APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction 
of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO 
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
    We are issuing and publishing these final results and notice in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 20, 2012.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
