Continuation of Antidumping Duty
Order

International Trade Administration,

SUMMARY: As a result of determinations
by the Department of Commerce (the
Department) and the International Trade
Commission (the ITC) that revocation of
the antidumping duty (AD) order on
floor-standing, metal-top ironing tables
and certain parts thereof (ironing tables)
from the People’s Republic of China
(PRC) would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, the Department is
publishing this notice of continuation of
the antidumping duty order on ironing
tables from the PRC.
DATES: Effective March 8, 2016.

Background
On June 24, 2004, the Department
published the final determination in the
antidumping duty investigation of
ironing tables from the PRC.1 On August
6, 2004, the Department issued an
antidumping duty order on ironing
tables from the PRC.2
On May 1, 2015, the Department
initiated the second five-year (sunset)
review of the AD order on ironing tables
from the PRC pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).3 As a result of its review, the
Department determined that revocation
of the Order would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and, therefore, notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail should the order be revoked.4
On September 28, 2015, the ITC
published its determination, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation
of the antidumping duty order on
ironing tables from the PRC would
likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time.5
Scope of the Order
For purposes of the order, the product
covered consists of floor-standing,
metal-top ironing tables, assembled or
unassembled, complete or incomplete,
and certain parts thereof. The subject
tables are designed and used principally
for the hand ironing or pressing of
garments or other articles of fabric. The
subject tables have full-height leg
assemblies that support the ironing
surface at an appropriate (often
adjustable) height above the floor. The
subject tables are produced in a variety
of leg finishes, such as painted, plated,
or matte, and they are available with
various features, including iron rests,
linen racks, and others. The subject

ironing tables may be sold with or
without a pad and/or cover. All types
and configurations of floor-standing,
metal-top ironing tables are covered by
this review.
Furthermore, the order specifically
covers imports of ironing tables,
assembled or unassembled, complete or
incomplete, and certain parts thereof.
For purposes of the order, the term
‘‘unassembled’’ ironing table means a
product requiring the attachment of the
leg assembly to the top or the
attachment of an included feature such
as an iron rest or linen rack. The term
‘‘complete’’ ironing table means product
sold as a ready-to-use ensemble
consisting of the metal-top table and a
pad and cover, with or without
additional features, e.g., iron rest or
linen rack. The term ‘‘incomplete’’
ironing table means product shipped or
sold as a ‘‘bare board’’—i.e., a metal-top
table only, without the pad and cover—
with or without additional features, e.g.
iron rest or linen rack. The major parts
or components of ironing tables that are
intended to be covered by the order
under the term ‘‘certain parts thereof’’
consist of the metal top component
(with or without assembled supports
and slides) and/or the leg components,
whether or not attached together as a leg
assembly. The order covers separately
shipped metal top components and leg
components, without regard to whether
the respective quantities would yield an
exact quantity of assembled ironing
tables.
Ironing tables without legs (such as
models that mount on walls or over
doors) are not floor-standing and are
specifically excluded. Additionally,
tabletop or countertop models with
short legs that do not exceed 12 inches
in length (and which may or may not
collapse or retract) are specifically
excluded.
The subject ironing tables were
previously classified under Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) subheading 9403.20.0010.
Effective July 1, 2003, the subject
ironing tables are classified under new
HTSUS subheading 9403.20.0011. The
subject metal top and leg components
are classified under HTSUS subheading
9403.90.8040. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
Department’s written description of the
scope is dispositive.
Continuation of the Order

the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the AD order would likely
lead to a continuation or recurrence of
dumping and material injury to an

order on ironing tables from the PRC.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection will
continue to collect AD cash deposits at
the rates in effect at the time of entry for

this notice are in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Act and published
