SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 15, 2020, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty (AD) order on steel
wire garment hangers from the People’s
Republic of China (China).1 We invited
interested parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results. We received no
comments from interested parties.2 As
such, these final results are unchanged
from the Preliminary Results.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise that is 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
Harmonized Tariff Schedule U.S.
(HTSUS) subheadings 7326.20.0020,
7323.99.9060, and 7323.99.9080.

(the petitioner) submitted a case brief in which it
stated that ‘‘Petitioner has no comments on the
Department’s Preliminary Results.’’ See Petitioner’s

provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.
Methodology
Commerce conducted this review in
accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). As noted in the Preliminary
Results, Shanghai Wells did not respond
to the issued standard non-market
economy (NME) questionnaire and has
filed no submissions on the record of
this administrative review, including
information concerning its eligibility for
a separate rate.3 Therefore, Commerce
preliminarily determined that Shanghai
Wells is not eligible for a separate rate
and is part of the China-wide entity.
As noted above, we received no
comments on the Preliminary Results.
Therefore, we have made no changes to
the Preliminary Results. Because there
are no changes for these final results
from the Preliminary Results, there is no
accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Final Results of the Review
We continue to find that Shanghai
Wells is not eligible for a separate rate,
and, therefore, it is part of the Chinawide entity. The rate previously
established for the China-wide entity is
187.25 percent 4 and is not subject to
change as a result of this review,
because no party requested a review of
the China-wide entity.5
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce
has determined, 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.
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of the final
results of this review in the Federal
Register.
We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties at a rate of 187.25
percent for all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR which was
exported by Shanghai Wells.

2020) (Preliminary Results).
\2\ On June 3, 2020, M&B Metal Products Co., Inc (the
petitioner) submitted a case brief in which it stated that
``Petitioner has no comments on the Department's Preliminary
Results.'' See Petitioner's Letter, ``Administrative Review of Steel
Wire Garment Hangers from China--Petitioner's Case Brief,'' dated
June 3, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise that is 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 Harmonized
Tariff Schedule U.S. (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.
Methodology
Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As noted
in the Preliminary Results, Shanghai Wells did not respond to the
issued standard non-market economy (NME) questionnaire and has filed no
submissions on the record of this administrative review, including
information concerning its eligibility for a separate rate.\3\
Therefore, Commerce preliminarily determined that Shanghai Wells is not
eligible for a separate rate and is part of the China-wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Preliminary Results, 85 FR at 29404.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As noted above, we received no comments on the Preliminary Results.
Therefore, we have made no changes to the Preliminary Results. Because
there are no changes for these final results from the Preliminary
Results, there is no accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of the Review
We continue to find that Shanghai Wells is not eligible for a
separate rate, and, therefore, it is part of the China-wide entity. The
rate previously established for the China-wide entity is 187.25 percent
\4\ and is not subject to change as a result of this review, because no
party requested a review of the China-wide entity.\5\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce has determined, 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.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of the final results of this review in
the Federal Register.
We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties at a rate of
187.25 percent for all entries of subject merchandise during the POR
which was exported by Shanghai Wells.
[[Page 48505]]
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 China entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of
this notice, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters
of subject merchandise that have received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the existing exporter-specific cash deposit rate published for the most
recently completed period; (2) for all Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate,
including Shanghai Wells, the cash deposit rate will be the existing
cash deposit rate for the China-wide entity, i.e., 187.25 percent; and
(3) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not
received their own separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese
exporter.
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
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 POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under 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 or
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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5) and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
