Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and New Shipper Reviews
On February 9, 2009, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') published its preliminary results and partial rescission in the antidumping duty administrative review and new shipper reviews (``NSRs'') of wooden bedroom furniture from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). The period of review (``POR'') for the administrative review and the new shipper reviews is January 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. In the administrative review, we have determined that the participating mandatory respondent, Guangdong Yihua Timber Industry Co., Ltd. (``Yihua Timber''), made sales in the United States at prices below normal value. With respect to the remaining respondents in the administrative review, we have determined that these entities have provided sufficient evidence demonstrating that they are separate from the PRC-entity and, with the exception of Orient International Holding Shanghai Foreign Trading Co. Ltd. (``Orient International''), we have assigned a margin based on the rate calculated for Yihua Timber. For the NSRs, the Department also reviewed two exporter/producers, Golden Well International (HK), Ltd./Zhangzhou XYM Furniture Product Co., Ltd. (``Golden Well'') and Dongguan Sunshine Furniture Co., Ltd./Dongguan Sunshine Furniture Co., Ltd. (``Sunshine''). We invited interested parties to comment on our preliminary results in these reviews. Based on our analysis of the comments we received in these reviews, we made certain changes to our calculations for Yihua Timber and for the new shippers. The final dumping margins for these reviews are listed in the ``Final Results Margins'' section below.
