SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 4, 2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of “Opportunity to Request Administrative Review” of the antidumping duty order on steel wire garment hangers from Taiwan for the period December 1, 2016, through November 30, 2017. On December 27, 2017, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), Commerce received a timely request from the petitioner to conduct an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on steel wire garment hangers from Taiwan manufactured or exported by Charles Enterprise Co., Ltd; Gee Ten Enterprise Co., Ltd.; Inmall Enterprises Co., Ltd.; Mindful Life and Coaching Co., Ltd.; Ocean Concept Corporation; Su-Chia International Ltd.; Taiwan Hanger Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; and Young Max Enterprises Co. Ltd.
See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 82 FR 57219 (December 4, 2017) (Notice regarding Request for Review).
M&B Metal Products Company, Inc.
The initiation FR incorrectly listed “Mindfull Live and Coaching Co., Ltd.,” whereas the correct company name, “Mindful Live and Coaching Co., Ltd.” is listed in the petitioner's Request for Review and in this notice.
See the petitioner's letter, “Steel Wire Garment Hangers from Taiwan: Request for Fifth Administrative Review,” (December 27, 2017) (Request for Review).
On February 23, 2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order. This administrative review covers Charles Enterprise Co., Ltd.; Gee Ten Enterprise Co., Ltd.; Inmall Enterprises Co., Ltd.; Mindful Life and Coaching Co., Ltd.; Ocean Concept Corporation; Su-Chia International Ltd.; Taiwan Hanger Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; and Young Max Enterprises Co. Ltd. for the period of December 1, 2016, through November 30, 2017. On June 29, 2018, the petitioner timely withdrew its request for an administrative review for all companies under review.
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 83 FR 8058 (February 23, 2018) (Initiation).
See the petitioner's letter, “Fifth Administrative Review of Steel Wire Garment Hangers from Taiwan—Petitioner's Withdrawal of Review Request,” (June 29, 2018).
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, if the party that requested the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The petitioner withdrew its request within the 90-day deadline. No other party requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order. Therefore, in response to the timely withdrawal of the review request, Commerce is rescinding, in its entirety, the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on steel wire garment hangers from Taiwan.
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit rate of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP within 15 days after the publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only reminder to importers whose entries will be liquidated as a result of this rescission, 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 review period. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to the administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return/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 sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: July 23, 2018.
