SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 17, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register the 
final scope determinations, certification requirements, and recission 
of circumvention inquiries on the antidumping and countervailing duty 
orders on wooden cabinets.\1\ In that notice, Commerce did not 
correctly describe the grace period for goods that were shipped before 
the implementation of the certification regime in the text, although 
this was alluded to in the importer and exporter appendices. 
Additionally, Commerce did not explain that entries accompanied by the 
appropriate certification documentation do not require suspension of 
liquidation or cash deposits.
