Riepilogo

In response to a request from Home Products International (the Petitioner in this proceeding), the Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on floor-standing, metal-top ironing tables and certain parts thereof (ironing tables) from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The period of review (POR) is August 1, 2010, through July 31, 2011. The review covers one respondent Foshan Shunde Yongjian Housewares & Hardware Co., Ltd. (Foshan Shunde). As discussed below, we have preliminarily determined that Foshan Shunde is part of the PRC- wide entity and that the entity has failed to cooperate to the best of its ability. We are, therefore, applying adverse facts available (AFA) to the PRC-wide entity, which includes Foshan Shunde. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results, we will instruct the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on entries of the subject merchandise during the POR.
