Scope of the measure
The products covered by this order are gas powered pressure washers from Vietnam. For a complete description of the scope of this order, see the appendix to this notice. Antidumping Duty Order On October 13, 2023, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination in this investigation, in which it found that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of pressure washers from Vietnam. Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing this antidumping duty order. Because the ITC determined that imports of pressure washers from Vietnam materially injure a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from Vietnam, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. Id. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of pressure washers from Vietnam. Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of pressure washers from Vietnam entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after June 15, 2023, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register, except as noted in the ``Provisional Measures'' section below. See Gas Powered Pressure Washers from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Preliminary Determination of Critical Circumstances, 88 FR 39221 (June 15, 2023) (Preliminary Determination). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries of pressure washers from Vietnam, except as noted below. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. Commerce will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin indicated in the table below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register of the notice of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination, CBP will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rate listed below. Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margin The estimated weighted-average dumping margin is as follows: Estimated weighted- average Exporter/producer dumping margin (percent) Vietnam-Wide Entity 225.86 Critical Circumstances With respect to the ITC's negative critical circumstances determination on imports of pressure washers from Vietnam, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to lift suspension and to refund any cash deposits made to secure the payment of estimated antidumping duties with respect to entries of the subject merchandise from Vietnam entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after March 17, 2023 (i.e., 90 days prior to the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determination), but before June 15, 2023 (i.e., the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination). Provisional Measures Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request that Commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months. None of the exporters of pressure washers requested Commerce to extend the four-month period to six months in this investigation. The provisional measures period, beginning on the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination, ended on October 12, 2023. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of pressure washers from Vietnam entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after October 12, 2023, the final day on which the provisional measures were in effect, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determinations in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal Register. Establishment of the Annual Inquiry Service Lists On September 20, 2021, Commerce published the final rule titled ``Regulations to Improve Administration and Enforcement of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Laws'' in the Federal Register. On September 27, 2021, Commerce also published the notice titled ``Scope Ruling Application; Annual Inquiry Service List; and Informational Sessions'' in the Federal Register.
