SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On October 6, 2008 and February 5, 2013, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD order on hangers from China,^[1] and the AD and CVD orders on hangers from Vietnam, respectively.^[2] On August 12, 2025, Commerce initiated country-wide circumvention inquiries pursuant to section 781(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), to determine whether imports of hangers completed in Cambodia using: (1) steel wire or (2) steel wire and paper accessories, produced in China or Vietnam, are circumventing the China Order or the Vietnam Orders and, accordingly, should be covered by the scope of the China Order or the scope of the Vietnam Orders.^[3] On September 22, 2026, Commerce published the affirmative Preliminary Determination of these circumvention inquiries.^[4] Concurrent with the Preliminary Determination, we also extended the deadline to issue this final determination until October 30, 2026.^[5] We invited parties to comment on the Preliminary Determination of these inquiries. We received no comments.

Scope of the Orders

For a complete description of the scope of the China Order and the scope of the Vietnam Orders, see Appendix I and II of this notice.^[6]

Merchandise Subject to the Circumvention Inquiries

These circumvention inquiries cover hangers completed in Cambodia using either: (1) steel wire; or (2) steel wire and paper accessories produced in China or Vietnam, where the hangers are subsequently exported from Cambodia to the United States.

Affirmative Final Determination of Circumvention

Because we received no comments from any interested party, this final determination of circumvention remains unchanged from the Preliminary Determination and no decision memorandum accompanies this notice. Consistent with the Preliminary Determination, Commerce continues to determine that hangers completed in Cambodia using Chinese-origin or Vietnamese origin inputs, i.e., steel wire or steel wire and paper accessories, are circumventing the China Order or the Vietnam Orders, each on a country-wide basis.^[7] As a result, in accordance with section 781(b) of the Act, we determine that this merchandise should be included within the scope of the China Order or the scope of the Vietnam Orders.

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements

Based on this affirmative final country-wide determination of circumvention with respect to hangers exported from Cambodia, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(I)(3), we will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend liquidation and require a cash deposit of estimated antidumping or countervailing duties on unliquidated entries of hangers from Cambodia that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after August 12, 2025, the date of publication of the initiation of this circumvention inquiry in the Federal Register .

The suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements will remain in effect until further notice.^[8]

For this final determination, we continue to implement the cash deposit requirements and certification process outlined in the Preliminary Determination.^[9] Specifically, Commerce found that no exporter of hangers from Cambodia is eligible to certify the origin of the steel or steel and paper inputs used to produce hangers in Cambodia. However, we established a certification program that allows parties (excluding parties to which Commerce applied adverse facts available) to certify that entries of hangers exported from Cambodia were produced using Chinese, rather than Vietnamese, steel wire or steel wire and paper accessories. In order to certify that shipments were not subject to the Vietnam Orders, the importer, exporter, and producer are required to provide documentation to CBP at the time of entry supporting the claim that the steel wire or steel wire and paper accessories were sourced from China. Should we determine at a later date that a more general certification program ( e.g., one where parties can certify that the imported hangers are not produced with Chinese- or Vietnamese inputs) is appropriate, ( printed page 70057) Commerce will release the required certification language, and establish such a certification program, at that time.

Administrative Protective Order

This notice will serve as the only reminder to all parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 781(b) of the Act 19 CFR 351.226(g)(1).

Appendix I

Scope of the China Order

The merchandise subject to the Order is steel wire garment hangers, fabricated from carbon steel wire, whether or not galvanized or painted, whether or not coated with latex or epoxy or similar gripping materials, and/or whether or not fashioned with paper covers or capes (with or without printing) and/or nonslip features such as saddles or tubes. These products may also be referred to by a commercial designation, such as shirt, suit, strut, caped, or latex (industrial) hangers.

On October 30, 2026, Commerce determined that steel wire garment hangers that are completed in Cambodia using Chinese-origin (1) steel wire or (2) steel wire and paper accessories and subsequently exported to the United States are subject to the Order.

Specifically excluded from the scope of the Order are wooden, plastic, and other garment hangers that are not made of steel wire. Also excluded from the scope of the Order are chrome-plated steel wire garment hangers with a diameter of 3.4 mm or greater.

The products subject to the Order are currently classified under U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) subheadings 7326.20.0020, 7323.99.9060, and 7323.99.9080. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise is dispositive.

Appendix II

Scope of the Vietnam Orders

The merchandise subject to the Orders is steel wire garment hangers, fabricated from carbon steel wire, whether or not galvanized or painted, whether or not coated with latex or epoxy or similar gripping materials, and whether or not fashioned with paper covers or capes (with or without printing) or nonslip features such as saddles or tubes. These products may also be referred to by a commercial designation, such as shirt, suit, strut, caped, or latex (industrial) hangers.

On October 30, 2026, Commerce determined that steel wire garment hangers that are completed in Cambodia using Vietnamese-origin (1) steel wire or (2) steel wire and paper accessories and subsequently exported to the United States are subject to the Orders.

Specifically excluded from the scope of the Orders are (a) wooden, plastic, and other garment hangers that are not made of steel wire; (b) steel wire garment hangers with swivel hooks; (c) steel wire garment hangers with clips permanently affixed; and (d) chrome plated steel wire garment hangers with a diameter of 3.4 millimeters (mm) or greater.

The products subject to the Orders are currently classified under U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) subheadings 7326.20.0020 and 7323.99.9080. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise is dispositive

Appendix III

Certification Program Requirements

The importer is required to complete and maintain the applicable importer certification, and maintain a copy of the applicable producer certification, and retain all supporting documentation for both certifications. With the exception of the entries described below, the importer certification must be completed, signed, and dated by the time the entry summary is filed for the relevant entry.

If the producing company and the exporting company are the same, the importer, or the importer's agent, must submit the importer's certification, the producer/exporter certification, and documentation demonstrating that the country-of-origin of the (1) steel wire or (2) steel wire and paper accessories used in the production of the exported steel wire garment hangers was Chinese. Such certifications and documentation must be submitted to CBP at the time that the entry summary is filed by uploading these documents into the document imaging system (DIS) in the Automated Customs Environment (ACE).

If the producing company and the exporting company are different, the importer, or the importer's agent, must submit the importer's certification, the producer's certification, and the exporter's certification, and documentation demonstrating the Chinese-origin of the (1) steel wire or (2) steel wire and paper accessories used in the production of the exported steel wire garment hangers. Such certifications and documentation must be submitted to CBP at the time that the entry summary is filed by uploading these documents into DIS in ACE.

Where the importer uses a broker to facilitate the entry process, the importer should obtain the entry summary number from the broker. Agents of the importer, such as a broker, however, are not permitted to certify on behalf of the importer. Consistent with CBP's procedures, an importer shall identify certified entries by using the importer's additional declaration (record 54), AD/CVD Certification Designation (type code 6) when filing an entry summary.

Where the producer and the exporter are the same entity, the producer/exporter is required to complete and maintain the applicable producer/exporter certification and provide the importer with a copy of that certification and all supporting documentation ( e.g., invoice, purchase order, production records, etc.). With the exception of the entries described below, the producer certification must be completed, signed, and dated by the time of shipment of the relevant entry. The producer/exporter certification should be completed by the party producing and exporting the steel wire garment hangers that were manufactured in Cambodia to the United States.

Where the producer and exporter are different entities, (1) the producer is required to complete and maintain the applicable producer certification and provide the importer with a copy of that certification and all supporting documentation ( e.g., invoice, purchase order, production records, etc.), and (2) the exporter is required to complete and maintain the applicable exporter certification and provide the importer with a copy of that certification and all supporting documentation ( e.g., invoice, purchase order, production records, etc.).

Additionally, the claims made in the certifications and supporting documentation are subject to verification by Commerce or CBP. Importers and producers are required to maintain the certifications and supporting documentation until the later of: (1) the date that is five years after the latest entry date of the entries covered by the certification; or (2) the date that is three years after the conclusion of any litigation in the United States courts regarding such entries.

For all steel wire garment hangers that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period August 12, 2025 (the date of publication of the initiation of these circumvention inquiries), through 45 days from the date on which Commerce published its preliminary circumvention findings in the Federal Register , where the entry has not been liquidated (and entries for which liquidation has not become final), the importer and producer certifications should be completed and signed as soon as practicable, but not later than 45 days of the date on which Commerce published its preliminary circumvention findings in the Federal Register . The importer's certification, the producer's certification, the commercial invoice, and documentation supporting the country of origin of the steel wire or type of input if not steel wire used to produce the steel wire garment hangers should be uploaded to the DIS in ACE as soon as practicable, but not later than 45 days of the date on which Commerce published its preliminary circumvention findings in the Federal Register . For such unliquidated ( printed page 70058) entries made prior to the publication of these preliminary determinations which are suspended under the antidumping and countervailing duty orders, the importer or producer each have the option to complete a blanket certification covering multiple entries, individual certifications for each entry, or a combination thereof.

As discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memoranda, this dual circumvention certification program is not available for companies to which Commerce has applied facts available with adverse inferences. Accordingly, as discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memoranda, Commerce preliminarily determines that Alpha Hanger, Everbrit and Kaining are ineligible to certify that any entries of hangers are made of Chinese-origin (1) steel wire or (2) steel wire and paper accessories.
