Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the People's Republic of China: 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; and Final 
Determination of No Shipments; 2021

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) continues to 
determine that nine companies/company groupings subject to this 
administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on wooden 
bedroom furniture (WBF) from the People's Republic of China (China) are 
part of the China-wide entity because they did not demonstrate 
eligibility for separate rates, and that seven companies/company 
groupings had no shipments of WBF during the period of review (POR), 
January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021. Although invited to do so, 
interested parties did not comment on the preliminary results of this 
review. We have adopted the preliminary results of this review as the 
final results of the review.

DATES: Applicable February 9, 2023.

Background

    On October 11, 2022, Commerce published the preliminary results of 
this review and invited interested parties to comment.\1\ No parties 
commented on the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, the Preliminary 
Results remain unchanged in the final results, and no decision 
memorandum accompanies this notice.

this notice.

dated concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Review

    We received no comments, and we have made no changes to the 
Preliminary Results. We continue to find that nine companies/company 
groupings subject to this review are part of the China-wide entity 
because they did not demonstrate eligibility for separate rates, and 
that seven companies/company groupings had no shipments of WBF during 
the POR.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    In the Preliminary Results, we determined, based on timely filed 
company certifications and our analysis of information obtained from 
CBP, that the following seven companies/company groupings did not 
export or sell subject merchandise during the POR: (1) Eurosa (Kunshan) 
Co., Ltd. and Eurosa Furniture Co., (PTE) Ltd.; (2) Jiangmen Kinwai 
Furniture Decoration Co., Ltd.; (3) Jiangmen Kinwai International 
Furniture Co., Ltd.; (4) Nanhai Jiantai Woodwork Co. Ltd. and Fortune 
Glory Industrial, Ltd. (HK Ltd.); (5) Shenyang Shining Dongxing 
Furniture Co., Ltd.; (6) Yeh Brothers World Trade Inc.; and (7) 
Zhangzhou Guohui Industrial & Trade Co., Ltd.\4\ We received no 
comments from interested parties with respect to this determination. 
Therefore, because the record indicates that these seven companies/
company groupings did not export subject merchandise during the POR, we 
continue to find that they had no reviewable transactions during the 
POR.

China-Wide Entity

    Commerce considers the following nine companies/company groupings 
for which a review was requested to be part of the China-wide entity 
because they did not demonstrate their eligibility for a separate rate: 
(1) Dongguan Sunrise Furniture Co., Taicang Sunrise Wood Industry, Co., 
Ltd., Shanghai Sunrise Furniture Co., Ltd., Fairmont Designs; (2) 
Dongguan Sunrise Furniture Co., Ltd., Taicang Sunrise Wood Industry 
Co., Ltd., Taicang Fairmont Designs Furniture Co., Ltd., Meizhou 
Sunrise Furniture Co., Ltd.; (3) Hang Hai Woodcraft's Art Factory; (4) 
Shenzhen Forest Furniture Co., Ltd.; (5) Sunforce Furniture (Hui-Yang) 
Co., Ltd., Sun Fung Wooden Factory, Sun Fung Co., Shin Feng Furniture 
Co., Ltd., Stupendous International Co., Ltd.; (6) Superwood Co. Ltd., 
Lianjiang Zongyu Art Products Co., Ltd.; (7) Xiamen Yongquan Sci-Tech 
Development Co., Ltd.; (8) Yihua Timber Industry Co., Ltd. (a.k.a. 
Guangdong Yihua Timber Industry Co., Ltd.); and (9) Yihua Lifestyle 
Technology Co., Ltd. Accordingly, for these final results, we determine 
that these nine companies/company groupings, none of which submitted a 
separate rate application or separate rate certification, are part of 
the China-wide entity.
    In this review, no party requested a review of the China-wide 
entity, and Commerce did not self-initiate a review of the China-wide 
entity. Because we are not reviewing the China-wide entity in this

Assessment Rates

    Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, ADs on all 
appropriate entries covered by this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1). We will instruct CBP to liquidate entries of subject 
merchandise exported by the companies/company groupings that failed to 
qualify for a separate rate, and any suspended entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR under the case numbers of companies that 
claimed no shipments, at the China-wide entity rate. 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).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this review for shipments of 
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 any previously 
investigated or reviewed China or non-China exporter that has a 
separate rate and for which a review was not requested, the cash 
deposit rate will continue to be the exporter's existing cash deposit 
rate; (2) for all China exporters of subject merchandise that do not 
have a separate rate, including those exporters that failed to 
establish their eligibility for a separate rate in this review, the 
cash deposit rate will be equal to the dumping margin assigned to the 
China-wide entity, which is 216.01 percent; and (3) for all non-China 
exporters of subject merchandise that do not have a separate rate, the 
cash deposit rate will be equal to the dumping margin applicable to the 
China exporter(s) that supplied the non-China exporter. These 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 ADs 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 ADs occurred and 
the subsequent assessment of double ADs.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
an 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). 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 subject 
to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing the final results of this review in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: February 2, 2023.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.

``Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic of China: 
Scope Ruling on a White Toy Box,'' dated July 6, 2009, the 
dimensional ranges used to identify the toy boxes that are excluded 
from the Order apply to the box itself rather than the lid.

units, also referred to as murphy beds, which are composed of the 
following three major sections: (1) a metal wall frame, which 
attaches to the wall and uses coils or pistons to support the metal 
mattress frame; (2) a metal frame, which has euro slats for 
supporting a mattress and two legs that pivot; and (3) wood panels, 
which attach to the metal wall frame and/or the metal mattress frame 
to form a cabinet to enclose the wall bed when not in use. Excluded 
enclosable wall bed units are imported in ready to assemble format 
with all parts necessary for assembly. Enclosable wall bed units do 
not include a mattress. Wood panels of enclosable wall bed units, 
when imported separately, remain subject to the Order.
    \22\ Excluded from the scope are certain shoe cabinets 31.5-33.5 
inches wide by 15.5-17.5 inches deep by 34.5-36.5 inches high. They 
are designed strictly to store shoes, which are intended to be 
aligned in rows perpendicular to the wall along which the cabinet is 
positioned. Shoe cabinets do not have drawers, rods, or other 
indicia for the storage of clothing other than shoes. The cabinets 
are not designed, manufactured, or offered for sale in coordinated 
groups or sets and are made substantially of wood, have two to four 
shelves inside them, and are covered by doors. The doors often have 
blinds that are designed to allow air circulation and release of bad 
odors. The doors themselves may be made of wood or glass. The depth 
of the shelves does not exceed 14 inches. Each shoe cabinet has 
doors, adjustable shelving, and ventilation holes.
    \23\ Excluded from the scope are certain bed bases consisting 
of: (1) a wooden box frame; (2) three wooden cross beams and one 
perpendicular center wooden support beam; and (3) wooden slats over 
the beams. These bed bases are constructed without inner springs

or mattress. The bed bases are imported unassembled.
