Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce shall determine, 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.
We intend to calculate importer- (or
customer-) specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of antidumping duties calculated for
each importer (or customer’s) examined
sales and the total entered value of the
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where an importer- (or
customer-) specific rate is zero or de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
Generally, when calculating margins
for non-selected respondents,
Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of
the Act for guidance, which provides
instructions for calculating the allothers margin in an investigation.
Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides
that when calculating the all-others
margin, Commerce will exclude any
zero and de minimis weighted-average
dumping margins, as well as any
weighted-average dumping margins
based on total facts available.
Accordingly, Commerce’s usual practice
has been to average the margins for
selected respondents, excluding margins
that are zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on facts available.
In this review, we calculated a
weighted-average dumping margin of
17.12 percent for Canfor and 6.06
percent for West Fraser. In accordance
with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act,
Commerce assigned the weightedaverage of these two calculated
weighted-average dumping margins,
11.59 percent, to the non-selected
companies in these final results. The
rate calculated for the non-selected
companies is calculated based on the
simple average of the margins of the two
individually examined companies.5
Accordingly, we have applied a rate of
11.59 percent to the non-selected
companies.6 A list of all non-selected
companies is included in Attachment II.
Commerce’s ‘‘reseller policy’’ will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by companies
included in these final results of review
for which the reviewed companies did

not know that the merchandise they
sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.7
The final results of this administrative
review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise under review
and for future cash deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable. Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP no earlier than 41 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).

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of these final results, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the
companies under review will be equal
to the weighted-average dumping
margin listed above in the ‘‘Final
Results of Review’’ section; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review but
covered in a previously completed
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published in the
final results for the most recent period
in which that producer or exporter
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review or in any
previous segment of this proceeding, but
the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be that established for the
producer of the merchandise in these
final results of review or in the final
results for the most recent period in
which that producer participated; and
(4) if neither the exporter nor the
producer is a firm covered in this
review or in any previously completed
segment of this proceeding, then the
cash deposit rate will be 6.58 percent ad
valorem, the all-others rate established

in the less than fair value investigation.8
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice is the only reminder to
parties subject to the administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the 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 the terms of an APO is
a violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
final results and this notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h).

Multilayered Wood Flooring From the

Initiation of Changed Circumstances
Review

SUMMARY: Based on a request from
Zhejiang Yuhua Timber Co. Ltd.
(Yuhua), A-Timber Flooring Company
Limited (A-Timber) and Mullican
Flooring Co. (Mullican) (collectively,
Yuhua et al.), the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) is initiating a

the antidumping duty (AD) order on

Jkt 256001
multilayered wood flooring (MLWF),
from the People’s Republic of China
(China).
DATES: Applicable December 2, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Alexis Cherry, AD/CVD Operations,
Office VIII, Enforcement and
Compliance, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue
NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone:
(202) 482–0607.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 8, 2011, Commerce
published the AD order on MLWF from
China.1 Under the Order, merchandise
produced and exported by Yuhua has
been excluded and is not subject to
antidumping duty cash deposits. On
September 1, 2021, Yuhua, A-Timber,
and Mullican, respectively a producer,
exporter, and importer of the subject
merchandise, requested that Commerce
initiate an expedited CCR, pursuant to
section 751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), 19 CFR
351.216, and 19 CFR 251.221(c)(3).
Specifically, Yuhua et al. request that
Commerce clarify that MLWF produced
by Yuhua and sold through A-Timber be
considered as merchandise which is
‘‘produced and exported’’ by Yuhua,
and thus, excluded from the Order.
Yuhua et al. asserts that this
clarification is necessary because U.S.
Customs and Border Protection has only
as of late 2020 begun requiring the
posting of cash deposits and the
classification of such merchandise as
‘‘Type 3’’ entries subject to antidumping
duties under the Order. On October 14,
2021, the American Manufacturers of
Multilayered Wood Flooring (the
petitioner) filed a letter in support of
Yuhua et al.’s CCR request.2 On October
15, 2021, Commerce extended the
deadline to initiate this CCR.3
Scope of the Order
Multilayered wood flooring is
composed of an assembly of two or

People’s Republic of China: Notice of Amended
Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less

Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People’s
Republic of China, 77 FR 5484 (February 3, 2012)
(collectively, the Order).

more layers or plies of wood veneer(s) 4
in combination with a core.5 The several
layers, along with the core, are glued or
otherwise bonded together to form a
final assembled product. Multilayered
wood flooring is often referred to by
other terms, e.g., ‘‘engineered wood
flooring’’ or ‘‘plywood flooring.’’
Regardless of the particular terminology,
all products that meet the description
set forth herein are intended for
inclusion within the definition of
subject merchandise. All multilayered
wood flooring is included within the
definition of subject merchandise,
without regard to: Dimension (overall
thickness, thickness of face ply,
thickness of back ply, thickness of core,
and thickness of inner plies; width; and
length); wood species used for the face,
back and inner veneers; core
composition; and face grade.
Multilayered wood flooring included
within the definition of subject
merchandise may be unfinished (i.e.,
without a finally finished surface to
protect the face veneer from wear and
tear) or ‘‘prefinished’’ (i.e., a coating
applied to the face veneer, including,
but not exclusively, oil or oil-modified
or water-based polyurethanes,
ultraviolet light cured polyurethanes,
wax, epoxy-ester finishes, moisturecured urethanes and acid curing
formaldehyde finishes). The veneers
may be also soaked in an acrylicimpregnated finish. All multilayered
wood flooring is included within the
definition of subject merchandise
regardless of whether the face (or back)
of the product is smooth, wire brushed,
distressed by any method or multiple
methods, or hand-scraped. In addition,
all multilayered wood flooring is
included within the definition of subject
merchandise regardless of whether or
not it is manufactured with any
interlocking or connecting mechanism
(for example, tongue-and-groove
construction or locking joints). All
multilayered wood flooring is included
within the definition of the subject
merchandise regardless of whether the
product meets a particular industry or
similar standard.
The core of multilayered wood
flooring may be composed of a range of
materials, including but not limited to
hardwood or softwood veneer,
particleboard, medium-density
fiberboard, high density fiberboard
(HDF), stone and/or plastic composite,
or strips of lumber placed edge-to-edge.
4 A ‘‘veneer’’ is a thin slice of wood, rotary cut,
sliced or sawed from a log, bolt or flitch. Veneer is
referred to as a ply when assembled.
5 Commerce Interpretive Note: Commerce
interprets this language to refer to wood flooring
products with a minimum of three layers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce published the Preliminary Results on May 27, 2021.\1\ This
review covers 273 producers/exporters of subject merchandise, including
two mandatory respondents, Canfor,\2\ and West Fraser.\3\ For events
subsequent to the Preliminary Results, see Commerce's Issues and
Decision Memorandum.\4\ The final weighted-average dumping margins are
listed below in the ``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.
Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Softwood Lumber Products from Canada:
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 86 FR
28551 (May 27, 2021) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying
Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).
\2\ As described in the Preliminary Results PDM, we have treated
Canfor Corporation, Canadian Forest Products Ltd., and Canfor Wood
Products Marketing Ltd. (collectively, Canfor) as a single entity.
See Preliminary Results PDM.
\3\ As described in the Preliminary Results PDM, we have treated
West Fraser Mills Ltd., Blue Ridge Lumber Inc., Manning Forest
Products Ltd., and Sundre Forest Products Inc. (collectively, West
Fraser) as a single entity. See Preliminary Results PDM at 6-7.
\4\ See Memorandum, ``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the
Final Results of Certain Softwood Lumber Products from Canada''
(Issues and Decision Memorandum), dated concurrently with, and
hereby adopted by, this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this review is softwood lumber from Canada.
For a full description of the scope, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case briefs filed in this administrative
review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of
the topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is appended
to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document
and is available electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Services
System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum is also accessible on the internet at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, Commerce has made
the following changes to the Preliminary Results:
For Canfor, we corrected a ministerial error where we
should have relied on the consolidated customer code but relied on a
non-consolidated customer code.
For Canfor, we updated the market prices for electricity
used to value related party transactions involving steam and
electricity to be based both on electricity transactions in both
Alberta and British Columbia, rather than only in Alberta.
We reduced the total cost of manufacturing for Canfor by
the closure costs of its Vavenby sawmill.
In calculating Canfor's interest expense, we included the
losses on certain derivative investments.
For West Fraser, we corrected a ministerial error
regarding the manner in which we assigned the intended byproduct offset
amount to the total cost of manufacturing.
For West Fraser, we corrected an error with how we
calculated the byproduct offset.
For West Fraser, we made an adjustment to its total cost
of manufacturing to account for seed purchases from a joint venture
company.
For West Fraser, we are relying on the alternative grade
group product code to ensure a more accurate comparison of comparison
market and U.S. market sales.
For West Fraser, we are determining West Fraser's margin
using the mixed method comparison method based upon the percentage of
sales that passed the Cohen's d test.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this administrative review, we are assigning the
following weighted-average dumping margins to the manufacturers/
exporters listed below for the period of January 1, 2019, through
December 31, 2019:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Canfor Corporation/Canadian Forest Products Ltd./Canfor Wood 17.12
Products Marketing Ltd.....................................
West Fraser Mills Ltd., Blue Ridge Lumber Inc./Manning 6.06
Forest Products Ltd./and Sundre Forest Products Inc........
Non-Selected Companies...................................... 11.59
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce shall determine, 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.
We intend to calculate importer- (or customer-) specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for each importer (or customer's) examined sales and
the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where an importer- (or customer-) specific rate is zero
or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
Generally, when calculating margins for non-selected respondents,
Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act for guidance, which
provides instructions for calculating the all-others margin in an
investigation. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that when
calculating the all-others margin, Commerce will exclude any zero and
de minimis weighted-average dumping margins, as well as any weighted-
average dumping margins based on total facts available. Accordingly,
Commerce's usual practice has been to average the margins for selected
respondents, excluding margins that are zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on facts available.
In this review, we calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of
17.12 percent for Canfor and 6.06 percent for West Fraser. In
accordance with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, Commerce assigned the
weighted-average of these two calculated weighted-average dumping
margins, 11.59 percent, to the non-selected companies in these final
results. The rate calculated for the non-selected companies is
calculated based on the simple average of the margins of the two
individually examined companies.\5\ Accordingly, we have applied a rate
of 11.59 percent to the non-selected companies.\6\ A list of all non-
selected companies is included in Attachment II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ For more information regarding the calculation of this
margin, see Memorandum, ``Calculation of the Rate for Non-Examined
Companies,'' dated concurrently with this notice.
\6\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce's ``reseller policy'' will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by companies included in these
final results of review for which the reviewed companies did
[[Page 68473]]
not know that the merchandise they sold to the intermediary (e.g., a
reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United
States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final results of this administrative review shall be the basis
for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise
under review and for future cash deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 41 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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date of these final
results, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for the companies under review will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin listed above in the ``Final Results of
Review'' section; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review but covered in a previously
completed segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published in the final results
for the most recent period in which that producer or exporter
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review
or in any previous segment of this proceeding, but the producer is,
then the cash deposit rate will be that established for the producer of
the merchandise in these final results of review or in the final
results for the most recent period in which that producer participated;
and (4) if neither the exporter nor the producer is a firm covered in
this review or in any previously completed segment of this proceeding,
then the cash deposit rate will be 6.58 percent ad valorem, the all-
others rate established in the less than fair value investigation.\8\
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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 doubled
antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice is the only reminder to parties subject to the
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the 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
the terms of an APO is a violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results and this notice
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h).
