the Department issued an antidumping duty questionnaire to the sole 
mandatory respondent in this review, Nantong Wangzhuang Furniture Co., 
Ltd. (``Nantong Wangzhuang''). Nantong Wangzhuang did not respond to 
the questionnaire. For a complete description of the events that 
followed the initiation of this administrative review, see the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum which is hereby adopted by this 
notice.\3\

    The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on 
file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (``ACCESS''). 
ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov and 
in the Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the main Department of 
Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum 
and the electronic version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are 
identical in content.

Scope of the Order

    The product covered by the order is wooden bedroom furniture, 
subject to certain exceptions.\4\ Imports of subject merchandise are 
classified under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(``HTSUS'') subheadings: 9403.50.9042, 9403.50.9045, 9403.50.9041, 
9403.60.8081, 9403.20.0018, 9403.90.8041, 7009.92.1000 or 7009.92.5000. 
Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs 
purposes, the written product description in the Order remains 
dispositive.\5\

From the People's Republic of China, 70 FR 329 (January 4, 2005) 
(``Order'').
    \5\ For a complete description of the scope of the Order, please 
see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'') and 19 
CFR 351.213. For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
preliminary results of review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 
A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 
provided in Appendix I to this notice.

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    Because U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') did not 
provide any information contradicting the claims of the 11 companies 
under review which claimed to have made no shipments, the Department 
preliminarily determines that these 11 companies did not have any 
reviewable transactions during the POR.\6\ For additional information 
regarding this determination, see the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.\7\ Consistent with the Department's practice in non-market 
economy (``NME'') cases, the Department is not rescinding this AR, in 
part, with respect to these 11 companies, but intends to complete the 
review with respect to the companies for which it has preliminarily 
found no shipments and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on 
the final results of the review.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The 11 companies/company groupings are: (1) Dongguan Sunrise 
Furniture Co., Ltd., Taicang Sunrise Wood Industry Co., Ltd., 
Taicang Fairmount Designs Furniture Co., Ltd., Meizhou Sunrise 
Furniture Co., Ltd.; (2) Eurosa (Kunshan) Co., Ltd., Eurosa 
Furniture Co., (Pte) Ltd.; (3) Golden Well International (HK) Ltd.; 
(4) Jiangsu Tairui Structure Engineering Co., Ltd.; (5) Nanhai 
Jiantai Woodwork Co., Ltd., Fortune Glory Industrial Ltd. (H.K. 
Ltd.); (6) Rizhao Sanmu Woodworking Co., Ltd.; (7) Shenyang Shining 
Dongxing Furniture Co., Ltd.; (8) Wanvog Furniture (Kunshan) Co., 
Ltd.; (9) Woodworth Wooden Industries (Dong Guan) Co., Ltd.; (10) 
Yeh Brothers World Trade Inc.; and (11) Zhejiang Tianyi Scientific & 
Educational Equipment Co., Ltd.
    \7\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
    \8\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694-95 (October 24, 2011) and 
the ``Assessment Rates'' section, below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Results of Review

    As noted above, Nantong Wangzhuang did not respond to the 
Department's antidumping duty questionnaire. Therefore, the Department 
preliminarily determines that Nantong Wangzhuang did not establish its 
eligibility for separate rate status. In addition, six other companies 
for which a review was requested failed to provide separate rate 
applications or certifications.\9\ Therefore, the Department 
preliminarily determines that these seven companies are part of the 
PRC-wide entity. The PRC-wide entity rate is 216.01 percent. For 
additional information regarding this determination, see the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The six companies are: (1) Dongguan Singways Furniture Co., 
Ltd.; (2) Clearwise Co., Ltd.; (3) Pleasant Wave Ltd., Passwell 
Corp.; (4) Shanghai JianPu Export & Import Co., Ltd.; (5) Decca 
Furniture Ltd.; and (6) Hangzhou Cadman Trading Co., Ltd. 
(Exporter), Haining Changbei Furniture Co., Ltd. (Producer).

preliminary results, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuing the final results of this review, the Department will 
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries covered by this review.\12\ The Department intends to issue 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of 
the final results of this review. We intend to instruct CBP to 
liquidate

[[Page 70094]]

entries of subject merchandise exported by the PRC-wide entity, 
including Nantong Wangzhuang and the other six companies noted above 
which did not qualify for separate rate status, at the PRC-wide rate. 
Additionally, pursuant to the Department's practice in NME cases, if we 
continue to determine that the 11 companies noted above had no 
shipments of subject merchandise, any suspended entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR under their case numbers will be liquidated 
at the PRC-wide rate.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
    \13\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Non-Market 
Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this review for shipments of the 
subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by 
sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously investigated or 
reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters that received a separate rate in a 
prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue 
to be the existing exporter-specific rate; (2) for all PRC exporters of 
subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a 
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate for the PRC-wide 
entity, which is 216.01 percent; and (3) for all non-PRC exporters of 
subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter that 
supplied that non-PRC exporter.
    These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers 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 could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties. We are issuing and publishing 
these results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.

    Dated: October 3, 2016.
