Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks From the People's Republic of China:
Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2015-2016

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on drawn stainless
steel sinks (drawn sinks) from the People's Republic of China (PRC).
The period of review (POR) is April 1, 2015, through March 31, 2016.
The review covers two mandatory respondents, Guangdong Dongyuan
Kitchenware Industrial Co., Ltd. (Dongyuan) and Guangdong Yingao
Kitchen Utensils Co. Ltd (Yingao). We preliminarily determine that
sales of subject merchandise by both respondents have been made at
prices below normal value (NV). We also preliminarily grant separate
rates to ten companies, which demonstrated eligibility for separate
rate status, but were not selected for individual examination. Finally,
we preliminarily find that New Shichu Import and Export Company Limited
(New Sichu) made no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. We
invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.

DATES: Effective May 5, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Scope of the Order

The products covered by the order include drawn stainless steel
sinks. Imports of subject merchandise are currently classified under
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings
7324.10.0000 and 7324.10.0010. Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description
of the scope of the order is dispositive.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ For a complete description of the Scope of the Order, see
Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results of the
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks
from the People's Republic of China,'' issued concurrently with and
hereby adopted by this notice (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). For the
mandatory respondents Dongyuan and Yingao, export price and constructed
export price were calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act.
Because the PRC is a non-market economy (NME) within the meaning of
section 771(18) of the Act, NV was calculated in accordance with
section 773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 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 https://access.trade.gov, and to all parties 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 and the electronic versions of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum are identical in content. A list of topics included
in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is provided as an appendix to
this notice.

Separate Rates

We preliminarily determine that information placed on the record by
the mandatory respondents, as well as by the following ten companies
which were not selected for individual examination, demonstrated
eligibility for separate rate status: Feidong Import and Export Co.,
Ltd.; Ningbo Afa Kitchen and Bath Co., Ltd.; Xinhe Stainless Steel
Products Co., Ltd.; KaiPing Dawn Plumbing Products, Inc.; Jiangmen
Hongmao Trading Co., Ltd.; Jiangmen New Star Hi-Tech Enterprise Ltd.;
Foshan Zhaoshun Trade Co., Ltd.; Zhuhai KOHLER Kitchen & Bathroom
Products Co., Ltd.; B&R Industries Limited; and Zhongshan Superte
Kitchenware Co., Ltd.

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

On July 5, 2016, New Shichu submitted a timely-filed certification
that they had no exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise
during the POR.\2\ Additionally, our inquiry to CBP did not identify
any POR entries of New Shichu's subject merchandise. Based on the
foregoing, the Department preliminarily determines that New Shichu did
not have any reviewable transactions during the POR. For additional
information regarding this determination, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\2\ See letter from New Shichu, ``Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks
from the People's Republic of China Separate Rate Certification and
Provisional No Sales Certification,'' dated July 5, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consistent with our practice in NME cases, the Department is not
rescinding this administrative review for New Shichu, but intends to
complete the

[[Page 21193]]

review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final
results of the review.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\3\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694-95 (October 24, 2011) (NME
AD Assessment) and the ``Assessment Rates'' section, below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Results of Review

The Department preliminarily determines that the following
weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period April 1, 2015,
through March 31, 2016:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
Average
Exporters Dumping Margin

B&R Industries Limited*................................. 1.78
Zhongshan Superte Kitchenware Co., Ltd.*................ 1.78
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* This company demonstrated that it qualified for a separate rate in
this administrative review. We preliminarily assigned this company a
rate which is the average of the weighted-average dumping margins
assigned to Dongyuan and Yingao. See the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.

Disclosure and Public Comment

The Department intends to disclose to the parties the calculations
performed for these preliminary results within five days of the date of
publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Interested parties may submit case briefs no later than 30 days after
the date of publication of these preliminary results of review.\4\
Rebuttals to case briefs may be filed no later than five days after the
written comments are filed, and all rebuttal comments must be limited
to comments raised in the case briefs.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\4\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c).
\5\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any interested party may request a hearing within 30 days of
publication of this notice.\6\ Hearing requests should contain the
following information: (1) The party's name, address, and telephone
number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of the issues to
be discussed. Oral presentations will be limited to issues raised in
the briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be
notified of the time and date for the hearing to be held at the U.S.
Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC
20230.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\6\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unless otherwise extended, the Department intends to issue the
final results of this administrative review, which will include the
results of its analysis of issues raised in the case briefs, within 120
days of publication of these preliminary results, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Assessment Rates

Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine,
and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review.\8\ The Department intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication of the
final results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\8\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For each individually-examined respondent in this review, if we
continue to calculate a weighted-average dumping margin that is not
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results,
we will calculate importer- (or customer-) specific per-unit duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer's (or customer's) examined sales to the
total sales quantity associated with those sales, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1).\9\ The Department will also calculate (estimated) ad
valorem importer-specific assessment rates with which to assess whether
the per-unit assessment rate is de minimis. We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate calculated
in the final results of this review is not zero or de minimis. Where
either the respondent's ad valorem weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis, or an importer-(or customer-) specific ad valorem
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,\10\ we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\9\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
\10\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the respondents that were not selected for individual
examination in this administrative review and qualified for a separate
rate, the assessment rate will be equal to the average of the weighted-
average dumping margins assigned to Dongyuan and Yingao in the final
results of this review.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\11\ See Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks from the People's Republic
of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 80 FR 26227, 26228 (May 7, 2015); unchanged in Drawn
Stainless Steel Sinks From the People's Republic of China: Final
Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2012-2014, 80
FR 69644 (November 10, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by the companies individually examined during this review,
the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the PRC-
wide rate. In addition, if we continue to find that New Shichu had no
shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries of subject
merchandise from New Shichu will be liquidated at the PRC-wide
rate.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\12\ For a full discussion of this practice, see NME AD
Assessment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the companies
listed above that have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be
that rate established in the final results of this review (except, if
the rate is zero or de minimis, then a cash deposit rate of zero will
be established for that company); (2) 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; (3) 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 76.45 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not received their own rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These

[[Page 21194]]

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) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period.
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties.
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(l) and 777(i)(l) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213.

Dated: May 1, 2017.
