SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 21, 2015, Commerce published in the
Federal Register
the CVD order on boltless steel shelving from China.[1]
On April 1, 2026, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the second sunset review of the
Order,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c).[2]
On April 14, 2026, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate in this review from the domestic interested party, within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).[3]
The domestic interested party claims that it has interested party status within the meaning of section 771(9)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(29)(v) as a U.S. producer of the domestic like product.[4]
On April 30, 2026, Commerce received an adequate substantive response from the domestic interested party, within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).[5]
Commerce did not receive a substantive response from either the Government of China or a respondent interested party to this proceeding. On May 20, 2026, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties.[6]
As a result, Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the
Order,
pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2).
