Краткое содержание

The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative review of certain cased pencils (pencils) from the People's Republic of China (PRC) for the period of review (POR) December 1, 2015, through November 30, 2016. We preliminarily determine that Tianjin Tonghe Stationery Industrial Co. Ltd. (Tianjin Tonghe) and the mandatory respondent, Ningbo Homey Union Co., Ltd. (Ningbo Homey), are not eligible for separate rates and, therefore, remain part of the PRC-wide entity. We also preliminarily determine that the entity comprised of Wah Yuen Stationery Co. Ltd. (Wah Yuen) and Shandong Wah Yuen Stationery Co. Ltd. (Shandong Wah Yuen) (collectively, the Wah Yuen entity) had no shipments during the POR. Finally, we are rescinding the review with respect to Orient International Holding Shanghai Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. (Orient), and Shandong Rongxin Import & Export Co., Ltd. (Rongxin). If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping (AD) duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
