SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 6, 2004, Commerce
published the AD order on ironing
tables from China.1 On February 1,
2021, Commerce initiated the third fiveyear (sunset) review of the Order
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 As
a result of its review, Commerce
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.3 On August 18, 2021,
the ITC published its determination,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act,
that revocation of the Order would
likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time.4

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, this Order specifically
covers imports of ironing tables,
assembled or unassembled, complete or
incomplete, and certain parts thereof.
For purposes of this 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 this 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
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 for U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) purposes, the

written description of the scope remains
dispositive.
Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by
Commerce and the ITC that revocation
of the Order would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby
orders the continuation of the
antidumping order on ironing tables
from China. CBP will continue to collect
antidumping duty cash deposits at the
rates in effect at the time of entry for all
imports of subject merchandise. The
effective date of the continuation of the
Order will be the date of publication in
the Federal Register of this notice of
continuation. Pursuant to section
751(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce intends
to initiate the next five-year review of
the Order not later than 30 days prior
to the fifth anniversary of the effective
date of continuation.
Notification to Interested Parties
This five-year (sunset) review and this
notice are in accordance with section
751(c) of the Act and published
pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: August 25, 2021.

China-Wide Entity
In accordance with Commerce’s
policy, the China-wide entity will not be
under review unless a party specifically
requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a
review of the entity.5 Because no party
requested a review of the China-wide
entity in this review, the entity is not
under review, and the entity’s rate is not
subject to change (i.e., 76.45 percent).6
Preliminary Results of Review
Commerce finds that the two
respondents remaining in this
administrative review, KaiPing and New
Star, have not established their
eligibility for a separate rate and are
considered to be part of the China-wide
entity for these preliminary results.

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance completion of the

determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.15 For the
final results, if we continue to treat
KaiPing and New Star as part of the
China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP
to apply an ad valorem assessment rate
of 76.45 percent to all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR that were
produced and/or exported by KaiPing
and New Star.
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a
timely summons is filed at the U.S.
Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP
not to liquidate relevant entries until the
time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).
For the companies for which we have
rescinded this administrative review,
antidumping duties shall be assessed at
rates equal to the cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR

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 China
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
previously investigated or reviewed
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not
listed above that have separate rates, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be
equal to the exporter-specific weightedaverage dumping margin published of
the most recently-completed segment of
this proceeding; (2) for all Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate for China-wide entity, 76.45
percent; and (3) for all exporters of
subject merchandise which are not
located in China and which are not
eligible for a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate applicable
to Chinese exporter(s) that supplied that
non-Chinese 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) 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 Commerce’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
preliminary results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(l) and 777(i)(l) of the
Act.

Because all review requests for these companies were timely withdrawn,
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this review
with respect to these companies. The administrative review will
continue for the remaining companies for which a review was requested
and not withdrawn: KaiPing and New Star.

China-Wide Entity
In accordance with Commerce's policy, the China-wide entity will
not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce
self-initiates, a review of the entity.\5\ Because no party requested a
review of the China-wide entity in this review, the entity is not under
review, and the entity's rate is not subject to change (i.e., 76.45
percent).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
\6\ The China-wide rate determined in the investigation was
76.53 percent. See Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks from the People's
Republic of China: Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order, 78 FR 21592 (April 11, 2013).
This rate was adjusted for export subsidies and estimated domestic
subsidy pass through to determine the cash deposit rate (76.45
percent) collected for companies in China-wide entity. See
explanation in Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks from the People's
Republic of China: Investigation, Final Determination, 78 FR 13019
(February 26, 2013).

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance completion of the administrative review, Commerce
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall
assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.\15\ For the final results, if we continue to treat KaiPing and
New Star as part of the China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP to
apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 76.45 percent to all entries of
subject merchandise during the POR that were produced and/or exported
by KaiPing and New Star.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
For the companies for which we have rescinded this administrative
review, antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash
deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry,
or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
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 China entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed
above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to
be equal to the exporter-specific weighted-average dumping margin
published of the most recently-completed segment of this proceeding;
(2) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate for China-wide entity, 76.45 percent; and (3) for all
exporters of subject merchandise which are not located in China and
which are not eligible for a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to Chinese exporter(s) that supplied that non-
Chinese 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) 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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred and
the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(l) and 777(i)(l) of the Act.
Dated: August 25, 2021.
Christian Marsh,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
