International Trade Administration August 20, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On February 13, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') published its preliminary results and partial rescission in the antidumping duty administrative review and new shipper review 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 review is January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2006. In the administrative review, we have determined that all three mandatory respondents (i.e., Fujian Lianfu Forestry Co./Fujian Wonder Pacific Inc./Fuzhou Huan Mei Furniture Co., Ltd./Jiangsu Dare Furniture Co., Ltd. (collectively, ``the Dare Group''); Shanghai Starcorp Furniture Co., Ltd, Starcorp Furniture (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Orin Furniture (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Star Furniture Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Xing Ding Furniture Industrial Co., Ltd. (collectively, ``Starcorp''); and Teamway Furniture (Dong Guan) Co., Ltd., and Brittomart Inc. (collectively ``Teamway'')) made sales in the United States at prices below normal value. With respect to the remaining respondents in the administrative review (collectively, ``Separate Rate Applicants''), we determined that 27 entities have provided sufficient evidence that they are separate from the state-controlled entity, and we have established a weighted-average margin based on the rates for the three mandatory respondents, excluding any that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on adverse facts available (``AFA''), to be applied to these separate-rate entities. For the new shipper review, the Department also reviewed one exporter/producer, Mei Jia Ju Furniture Industrial (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. (``Mei Jia Ju''). We invited interested parties to comment on our preliminary results in these reviews. We received no comments in the new shipper review. Based on our analysis of the comments we received in the administrative review, we made certain changes to our calculations for all mandatory respondents. The final dumping margins for this review are listed in the ``Final Results Margins'' section below.
