Methodology
The Department has conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’). Export prices and
constructed export prices have been
calculated in accordance with section
772 of the Act. Because the PRC is a
non-market economy (‘‘NME’’) within
the meaning of section 771(18) of the
Act, NV has been calculated in
accordance with section 773(c) of the
Act.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, please see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, hereby adopted
by this notice. The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (‘‘ACCESS’’).2
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov. The
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
also available in the Central Records
Unit, room 7046 of the main Department
of Commerce building. In addition, a
complete version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/

Decision Memorandum and the
electronic versions of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum are identical in

4 In addition to the companies listed in the table,
the following companies submitted information on
the record demonstrating that they did not ship
subject merchandise to the United States during the
POR. The Department confirmed their certification
of no shipment with U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’); therefore, the following
companies will maintain their rate from the most
recent segment in which they participated: Anhui
Longhua Bamboo Product Co., Ltd.; Benxi Wood
Company; Guangzhou Homebon Timber
Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Jiaxing Brilliant Import &
Export Co. Ltd..; Pinge Timber Manufacturing
(Zhejiang) Co., Ltd.; Power Dekor Group Co., Ltd;
Shenyang Senwang Wooden Industry Co., Ltd.
Additionally, Dalian Huade Wood Product Co., Ltd.
and Zhejiang Fuerjia Wooden Co., Ltd. did not have
any qualifying shipments for the Department to
review, due to their certification that their only POR
shipments underwent review during their
respective new shipper reviews. Both companies
therefore maintain the dumping margin that was
assessed as a result of their respective new shipper
reviews.

The Department intends to issue the
final results of this administrative
review, which will include the results of
its analysis of issues raised in any briefs,
within 120 days of publication of these
preliminary results, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.16 The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the publication date of the
final results of this review. For any
individually examined respondent
whose weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent) in the final results of this
review, the Department will calculate an
importer-specific assessment rate on the
basis of the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of sales, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). In these
preliminary results, the Department
applied the assessment rate calculation
method adopted in the Final
Modification for Reviews.17 Where
either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, or an importer- (or
customer-) specific assessment rate is
zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate
entries containing subject merchandise
exported by the PRC-wide entity at the
PRC-wide rate we determine in the final
results of this review.
On October 24, 2011, the Department
announced a refinement to its
assessment practice in NME

merchandise that was not reported in
the U.S. sales databases submitted by an
exporter individually examined during
this review, but that entered under the
case number of that exporter (i.e., at the

deposit rate), the Department will

\1\ See Memorandum from Gary Taverman, Associate Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement &
Compliance, regarding ``Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results
of 2012-2013 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Multilayered
Wood Flooring from the People's Republic of China,'' (``Preliminary
Decision Memorandum'') issued and dated concurrently with this
notice for a complete description of the Scope of the Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the subject merchandise is
dispositive.
Methodology
The Department has conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'').
Export prices and constructed export prices have been calculated in
accordance with section 772 of the Act. Because the PRC is a non-market
economy (``NME'') within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, NV
has been calculated in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, please see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, hereby
adopted by this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (``ACCESS'').\2\ ACCESS is available to registered users at
https://access.trade.gov. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is also
available in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the main Department
of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Preliminary Decision
Memorandum and the electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ On November 24, 2014, Enforcement and Compliance changed the
name of Enforcement and Compliance's AD and CVD Centralized
Electronic Service System (``IA ACCESS'') to AD and CVD Centralized
Electronic Service System (``ACCESS''). The Web site location was
changed from https://iaaccess.trade.gov to https://access.trade.gov.
The Final Rule changing the references to the Regulations can be
found at 79 FR 69046 (November 20, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Affiliation
Based on the evidence presented in Dalian Dajen's questionnaire
responses, we preliminarily find that Dalian Dajen and HK Artflor
International Trading Co., Ltd., a Hong Kong trading company, are
affiliated under sections 771(33)(A) and (G) of the Act. We also
preliminarily find that Dalian Dajen and Johnson Premium Hardwood
Flooring Inc., a U.S. reseller of subject merchandise, are affiliated
under section 771(33)(F) of the Act, and that Dalian Dajen and Zhejiang
Shiyou Timber Co., Ltd., a separate-rate respondent in this review, are
not affiliated under section 771(33) of the Act.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Memorandum to Abdelali Elouaradia re: ``Administrative
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Multilayered Wood Flooring
from the People's Republic of China: Dalian Dajen Wood Co., Ltd.:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Results of Review
The Department preliminarily determines that the following
weighted-average dumping margins exist for the POR from December 1,
2012, through November 30, 2013: \4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ In addition to the companies listed in the table, the
following companies submitted information on the record
demonstrating that they did not ship subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR. The Department confirmed their
certification of no shipment with U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP''); therefore, the following companies will maintain their
rate from the most recent segment in which they participated: Anhui
Longhua Bamboo Product Co., Ltd.; Benxi Wood Company; Guangzhou
Homebon Timber Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Jiaxing Brilliant Import &
Export Co. Ltd..; Pinge Timber Manufacturing (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd.;
Power Dekor Group Co., Ltd; Shenyang Senwang Wooden Industry Co.,
Ltd. Additionally, Dalian Huade Wood Product Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang
Fuerjia Wooden Co., Ltd. did not have any qualifying shipments for
the Department to review, due to their certification that their only
POR shipments underwent review during their respective new shipper
reviews. Both companies therefore maintain the dumping margin that
was assessed as a result of their respective new shipper reviews.

The Department intends to issue the final results of this
administrative review, which will include the results of its analysis
of issues raised in any briefs, within 120 days of publication of these
preliminary results, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine,
and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review.\16\ The Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final
results of this review. For any individually examined respondent whose
weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent) in the final results of this review, the Department will
calculate an importer-specific assessment rate on the basis of the
ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the
importer's examined sales and the total entered value of sales, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). In these preliminary results, the
Department applied the assessment rate calculation method adopted in
the Final Modification for Reviews.\17\ Where either the respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-
(or customer-) specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties. We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries
containing subject merchandise exported by the PRC-wide entity at the
PRC-wide rate we determine in the final results of this review.

On October 24, 2011, the Department announced a refinement to its
assessment practice in NME
[[Page 1391]]
antidumping duty cases.\18\ Pursuant to this refinement in practice,
for merchandise that was not reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by an exporter individually examined during this review, but
that entered under the case number of that exporter (i.e., at the
individually-examined exporter's cash deposit rate), the Department
will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the PRC-wide rate.
Additionally, pursuant to this refinement, if the Department determines
that an exporter under review had no shipments of the subject
merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that exporter's
case number will be liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011), for a full

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the companies
listed above the cash deposit rate will be their respective rate
established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), then no cash deposit
will be required; (2) for previously investigated 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; (3) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise
which have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be that for the PRC-wide entity; and (4) 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 that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.
Dated: December 31, 2014.
