  • Notice of Lifting of Suspension Date: Mar 14, 2014

Notice of the lifting of suspension occurred on the message date of these instructions. See paragraph 5 below.

1. Commerce received a scope ruling request from Stork Craft Manufacturing Inc. (“Stork Craft”). Commerce issued a final scope determination on 02/25/2014 that Stork Craft's toy box style 01520 which Stork Craft imports is not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on wooden bedroom furniture from the People's Republic of China (“PRC”) (A-570-890).

2. Commerce determined that Stork Craft's toy box style 01520 is outside the scope of the order because the toy box possesses numerous physical characteristics found in non-subject merchandise and, thus, it is not sufficiently similar, in terms of physical characteristics, to merchandise unambiguously within the scope of the order. Moreover, the expectations of the ultimate purchasers and the ultimate use of the product are consistent with the design of excluded toy boxes. Therefore, Stork Craft's toy box style 01520 is not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC.

3. For all entries of Stork Craft's toy box style 01520 that remain unliquidated on or after 06/24/2004, CBP shall terminate suspension and liquidate entries of Stork Craft's toy box style 01520 which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption.

4. Refund any cash deposits and release any bonds relating to the toy box described above.

5. These instructions constitute notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of Stork Craft's toy box style 01520 entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 06/24/2004.

6. The assessment of antidumping duties by CBP on shipments or entries of this merchandise is subject to the provisions of section 778 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Section 778 requires that CBP pay interest on overpayments or assess interest on underpayments of the required amounts deposited as estimated antidumping duties. The interest provisions are not applicable to cash or bonds posted as estimated antidumping duties before the date of publication of the antidumping duty order. Interest shall be calculated from the date payment of estimated antidumping duties is required through the date of liquidation. The rate at which such interest is payable is the rate in effect under section 6621 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 for such period.

7. Unless instructed otherwise, for all other shipments of wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC not covered by paragraph 2 above, you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties for the merchandise at the current rates.
