People’s Republic of China: Final

Administrative Review; 2015–2016
Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On August 9, 2017, the
Department of Commerce (Department)
published in the Federal Register the
Preliminary Results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on Steel Wire
Garment Hangers from the People’s
Republic of China (PRC) covering the
period October 1, 2015, through
September 30, 2016. This review
covered Hangzhou Yingqing Material
Co. Ltd. and Hangzhou Qingqing
Mechanical Co. Ltd. (collectively,
Yingqing), and Shanghai Wells Hanger
Co., Ltd./Hong Kong Wells Ltd.
(collectively, Shanghai Wells).
The Department gave interested
parties an opportunity to comment on
the Preliminary Results, but we received
no comments. Hence, the final results
are unchanged from the Preliminary
Results and we continue to find that
Shanghai Wells sold merchandise at
prices below the normal value and
Yingqing is not eligible for a separate
rate during the period of review.
DATES: Applicable November 17, 2017.

comment.1 The Department received no
comments. The Department conducted
this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is steel wire garment hangers, fabricated
from carbon steel wire, whether or not
galvanized or painted, whether or not
coated with latex or epoxy or similar
gripping materials, and/or whether or
not fashioned with paper covers or
capes (with or without printing) and/or
nonslip features such as saddles or
tubes. These products may also be
referred to by a commercial designation,
such as shirt, suit, strut, caped, or latex
(industrial) hangers. Specifically
excluded from the scope of the order are
wooden, plastic, and other garment
hangers that are not made of steel wire.
Also excluded from the scope of the
order are chrome-plated steel wire
garment hangers with a diameter of 3.4
mm or greater. The products subject to
the order are currently classified under
HTSUS subheadings 7326.20.0020,
7323.99.9060, and 7323.99.9080.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.
Final Results of Review
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department determined the following:
(1) Shanghai Wells sold merchandise at
prices below normal value; and (2)
Yingqing is not eligible for a separate
rate and, therefore, is a part of the PRCwide entity.2 We have not received
information contradicting our
preliminary finding; thus, the
Department finds there is no reason to
modify its analysis. Accordingly, no
decision memorandum accompanies
this Federal Register notice. For further
details of the issues addressed in this
proceeding, see the Preliminary
Results.3
wide entity will not be under review
unless a party specifically requests, or
the Department self-initiates, a review of
the entity. Because no party requested a
review of the PRC-wide entity in this
review, the entity is not under review
and the entity’s rate is not subject to
change (i.e., 187.25 percent).5
Methodology
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. In the
Preliminary Results, the Department
calculated constructed export prices and
export prices in accordance with section
772 of the Act. Because the PRC is a
nonmarket economy (NME) within the
meaning of section 771(18) of the Act,
normal value is calculated in
accordance with section 773(c) of the
Act. We have not received any
information since the issuance of the
Preliminary Results that provides a basis
for reconsidering this determination.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, available at
https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
Final Results of Review Margin
The Department determines that the
following weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the POR from October
1, 2015, through September 30, 2016:

review.4 Under this policy, the PRC-
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the
Department has determined, and 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.

The Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method
adopted in Final Modification for
Reviews, i.e., on the basis of monthly
average-to-average comparisons using
only the transactions associated with
that importer with offsets being
provided for non-dumped
comparisons.7 Pursuant to the
Department’s NME practice, for sales
that were not reported in the U.S. sales
data submitted by companies
individually examined during this
review, the Department instructs CBP to
liquidate entries associated with those
sales at the rate for the PRC-wide
entity.8
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 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
company listed above, Shanghai Wells,
the cash deposit rate will be that
established in the final results of this
review (except, if the rate is zero or de
minimis, then zero cash deposit will be
required); (2) 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 recently completed segment of
this proceeding in which they were
reviewed; (3) 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 equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin for
the PRC-wide entity (i.e., 187.25
percent); and (4) for all non-PRC
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own separate
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate applicable to the PRC exporter(s)
that supplied that non-PRC exporter.
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Final Results of Review
In the Preliminary Results, the Department determined the

Methodology
The Department conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. In the Preliminary Results, the Department
calculated constructed export prices and export prices in accordance
with section 772 of the Act. Because the PRC is a nonmarket economy
(NME) within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, normal value is
calculated in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act. We have not
received any information since the issuance of the Preliminary Results
that provides a basis for reconsidering this determination. For a full
description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum, available at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
