AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines 
that eight companies, including the mandatory respondent, Decca 
Furniture Ltd. (Decca), have not established their entitlement to a 
separate rate and are part of the China-wide entity, and that five 
companies had no reviewable transactions during the January 1, 2017, 
through December 31, 2017, period of review (POR). We invite interested 
parties to comment on these preliminary results.

DATES: Applicable December 12, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    After initiating this review with respect to 73 companies or 
company groupings,\1\ interested parties withdrew all review requests 
for 60 of the 73 companies. Thus, Commerce rescinded this review with 
respect to those companies.\2\ On June 20, 2018, Commerce issued an 
antidumping duty questionnaire to Decca, the only company under review 
that filed a separate rate application. Decca 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\

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: 9403.90.7005, 9403.90.7080, 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\

(Order).
    \5\ For a complete description of the scope of the Order, please 
see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    Commerce 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 the Appendix 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 five of the companies under 
review which claimed to have made no shipments, Commerce preliminarily 
determines that these five companies did not have any reviewable 
transactions during the POR.\6\ For additional information regarding 
this determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Consistent 
with Commerce's practice in non-market economy (NME) cases, Commerce is 
not rescinding this AR, in part, with respect to these five 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.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The five 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) Dongguan Sunrise Furniture Co., Taicang 
Sunrise Wood Industry Co., Ltd., Shanghai Sunrise Furniture Co. 
Ltd., Fairmont Designs; (3) Eurosa (Kunshan) Co., Ltd., Eurosa 
Furniture Co., (PTE) Ltd.; (4) Shenyang Shining Dongxing Furniture 
Co., Ltd. (Shenyang Shining); and (5) Yeh Brothers World Trade Inc.
    \7\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694-95 (October 24, 2011) and 
the ``Assessment Rates'' section, below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    Decca was the only company under review that submitted a separate 
rate application, and Commerce issued the antidumping duty 
questionnaire to Decca as the sole mandatory respondent. However, as 
noted above, Decca did not respond to Commerce's antidumping duty 
questionnaire. Therefore, Commerce preliminarily determines that Decca 
did not establish its eligibility for separate rate status. In 
addition, seven other companies for which a review was requested failed 
to provide separate rate applications or certifications.\8\ Therefore, 
Commerce preliminarily determines that these eight companies are part 
of the China-wide entity. Because no party requested a review of the 
China-wide entity, the entity is not under review, and the entity's 
dumping margin of 216.01 percent is not subject to change.\9\ For

additional information regarding this determination, see the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

    \8\ The seven companies are: (1) Dongguan Kingstone Furniture 
Co., Ltd.; Kingstone Furniture Co., Ltd.; (2) Kunshan Summit 
Furniture Co., Ltd.; (3) Qingdao Liangmu Co., Ltd.; (4) Restonic 
(Dongguan) Furniture Ltd.; Restonic Far East (Samoa) Ltd.; (5) 
Rizhao Sanmu Woodworking Co., Ltd.; (6) Techniwood Industries Ltd.; 
Ningbo Furniture Industries Ltd.; Ningbo Hengrun Furniture Co., 
Ltd.; and (7) Zhangjiagang Zheng Yan Decoration Co., Ltd.

this AR, which will include the results of its analysis of issues 
raised in any briefs received, within 120 days of publication of these 
preliminary results, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuing the final results of this review, Commerce will 
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries covered by this review.\12\ Commerce 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 entries of subject merchandise exported by the China-wide 
entity, including Decca and the other seven companies noted above which 
did not qualify for separate rate status, at the China-wide rate. 
Additionally, pursuant to Commerce's practice in NME cases, if we 
continue to determine that the five 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 China-wide rate.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).

Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this review for shipments of 
subject merchandise from China 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 China and non-China 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 Chinese 
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 China-wide entity, which is 216.01 percent; and (3) for all non-
China exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their 
own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the 
China exporter that supplied that non-China 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 Commerce's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification To Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221.(b)(4).

    Dated: December 3, 2018.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
