Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs

not know that its merchandise was
destined for the United States.
Furthermore, this clarification applies to
all POR entries entered under the case

make a final determination of no
shipments of subject merchandise
because it certified that it made no POR
shipments of subject merchandise for
which it had knowledge of U.S.

Electrolux Home Products Corp. N.V. and Electrolux Home Products de
Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (collectively, Electrolux) and Samsung Electronics
Mexico S.A. de C.V. (Samsung). We preliminarily determine that
Electrolux made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value.
In addition, we preliminarily find that no shipments of subject
merchandise were made by Samsung during the POR. Interested parties are
invited to comment on these preliminary results.
DATES: Effective Date: March 9, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are all large residential washers
and certain subassemblies thereof from Mexico. The products are
currently classifiable under subheadings 8450.20.0040 and 8450.20.0080
of the Harmonized Tariff System of the United States (HTSUS). Products
subject to this order may also enter under HTSUS subheadings
8450.11.0040, 8450.11.0080, 8450.90.2000, and 8450.90.6000. Although
the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the merchandise subject to this
scope is dispositive.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ A full description of the scope of the order is contained in
the memorandum to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement
and Compliance, from Gary Taverman, Associate Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations,
``Large Residential Washers from Mexico: Decision Memorandum for the
Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review;
2012-2014'' (Preliminary Decision Memorandum), dated concurrently
with and adopted by this notice. The HTSUS numbers are revised from
the numbers previously stated in the scope. See Memorandum to the
File entitled ``Changes to the HTS Numbers to the ACE Case Reference
Files for the Antidumping Duty Orders,'' dated January 6, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
The Department conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Constructed export price is calculated in accordance with section 772
of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance with section 773
of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 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 and is available to all

\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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
information and information provided by Samsung, we preliminarily
determine that Samsung had no shipments of the subject merchandise,
and, therefore, no reviewable transactions, during the POR. For a full
discussion of this determination, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of Review
As a result of this review, the Department preliminarily determines
that the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), any interested party may request a
hearing within 30 days of publication of this notice. To request a
hearing, or to participate if one is requested, parties must submit a
written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce. Hearing requests should
contain: (1) The party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the
number of participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. If a
hearing is requested, the Department will notify interested parties of
the hearing schedule. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to
those raised in the case and rebuttal briefs. All documents must be
filed electronically using ACCESS.
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 such comments, within 120 days of publication
of these preliminary results, unless the deadline is extended.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rate
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department shall determine,
and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212. The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 41 days after the date of publication of
the final results of this review.
Electrolux reported the names of the importers of record and the
entered value for all of its sales to the United States during the POR.
If Electrolux's weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis
(i.e., 0.50 percent), we will calculate importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total entered value
of those same sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\8\ We will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review when the importer-specific assessment rate
calculated in the final results of this review is above de minimis.
Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero
or de minimis, or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method in Antidumping Proceedings:
Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment
Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR
8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
[[Page 12438]]
May 6, 2003.\9\ If applicable, this clarification will apply to entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Electrolux, for which
it did not know that its merchandise was destined for the United
States. Furthermore, this clarification applies to all POR entries
entered under the case number for Samsung if we continue to make a
final determination of no shipments of subject merchandise because it
certified that it made no POR shipments of subject merchandise for
which it had knowledge of U.S. destination. In such instances, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate these entries at the all-others rate
established in the less-than fair-value (LTFV) investigation, 36.52
percent,\10\ if there is no rate for the intermediary involved in the
transaction. See Assessment Policy Notice for a full discussion of this
clarification.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will remain effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication as provided in
section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Electrolux
will be that rate established in the final results of this review; (2)
for previously investigated companies not covered in this review, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the rate published for the LTFV
investigation; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or the LTFV investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period
for the manufacturer of the subject merchandise; (4) if neither the
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this review or the
LTFV investigation, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the all-
others rate established in the LTFV investigation, which is 36.52
percent.\11\ These cash 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) 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 antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of
administrative review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: March 2, 2015.
