PART I.—GENERAL INFORMATION
Background. On January 4, 2005, the Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) issued an antidumping
duty order on imports of wooden bedroom furniture from China. On November 2, 2015, the
Commission instituted a review pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1675(c))
(the Act) to determine whether revocation of the order would be likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. If both the
Commission and Commerce make an affirmative determination, the order will remain in place. If either
the Commission or Commerce makes a negative determination, Commerce will revoke the order.
Questionnaires and other information pertinent to this proceeding are available at

designed, manufactured, or offered for sale in coordinated groups or sets and are made substantially of
wood, have two to four shelves inside them, and are covered by doors. The doors often have blinds that

adjustable shelving, and ventilation holes.
Also excluded from the scope are certain bed bases consisting of: (1) A wooden box frame, (2) three
wooden cross beams and one perpendicular center wooden support beam, and (3) wooden slats over

Imports of subject merchandise are classified under subheadings 9403.50.9042 and 9403.50.9045 of the
HTSUS as “wooden . . . beds” and under subheading 9403.50.9080 of the HTSUS as “other . . . wooden

for beds, wooden side rails for beds, and wooden canopies for beds may also be entered under
subheading 9403.50.9042 or 9403.50.9045 of the HTSUS as “parts of wood.” Subject merchandise may
also be entered under subheadings 9403.50.9041, 9403.60.8081, 9403.20.0018, or 9403.90.8041.
Further, framed glass mirrors may be entered under subheading 7009.92.1000 or 7009.92.5000 of the

convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of this proceeding is
dispositive.

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review and Determination to Revoke Order in Part, 74 FR 8506 (February

maintenance, repair, janitorial and guard services, product development, auxiliary production
for plant’s own use (e.g., power plant), recordkeeping, and other services closely associated with
the above production operations.
Average number employed may be computed by adding the number of employees, both full
time and part time, for the 12 pay periods ending closest to the 15th of the month and divide
that total by 12. For the January to June periods, calculate similarly and divide by 6.
“Hours worked” includes time paid for sick leave, holidays, and vacation time. Include overtime
hours actually worked; do not convert overtime pay to its equivalent in straight time hours.

III‐9b. Financial data reconciliation.‐‐The calculable line items from question III‐9a (i.e., total net sales
quantities and values, total COGS, gross profit (or loss), total SG&A, and net income (or loss))
have been calculated from the data submitted in the other line items. Do the calculated fields
return the correct data according to your firm's financial records ignoring non‐material
differences that may arise due to rounding?
Yes No‐‐If the calculated fields do not show the correct data, please double check the
feeder data for data entry errors and revise.
Also, check signs accorded to the post operating income line items; the two
expense line items should report positive numbers (i.e., expenses are
positive and incomes or reversals are negative‐‐instances of the latter
should be rare in those lines) while the income line item also in most
instances should have its value be a positive number (i.e., income is positive,
expenses or reversals are negative).
If after reviewing and potentially revising the feeder data your firm has
provided, the differences between your records and the calculated fields
persist please identify and discuss the differences in the space below.
III‐10. Nonrecurring items (charges and gains) included in the subject product financial results.‐‐For
