IA/NME/9: TL

August 5, 2011 MEMORANDUM FOR: Gary Taverman Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations FROM: James C. Doyle Director AD/CVD Operations, Office 9 Import Administration SUBJECT: Final Scope Ruling: Antidumping Duty Order on Petroleum Wax Candles From the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) SUMMARY On June 11, 2009, July 7, 2009, August 20, 2009, and May 5, 2010, the Department of Commerce (“Department”) received requests from Trade Associates Group, Ltd. (“TAG”), Candym Enterprises, Ltd. (“Candym”),1 Sourcing International, LLC (“Sourcing International”), and Accent Imports (“Accent”),2 respectively,3 for scope rulings to determine whether each company’s respective assortment of candles is outside the scope of the antidumping duty order on petroleum wax candles from the PRC. See Antidumping Duty Order: Petroleum Wax Candles from the People’s Republic of China, 51 FR 30686 (August 28, 1986) (“Order”). The recommendations for the Department regarding which candles should, or should not, be found within the scope of the Order (all in accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(k)(1)) are listed infra. 4 Background Requestors filed the instant requests for scope rulings in proper form on the dates listed in the Summary section. On August 9, 2010, the Department issued preliminary determinations for the requests in conjunction with the preliminary results5 of its request for comments regarding the

appropriate interpretation6 of the Order.7 On October 13, 2010, the Department issued preliminary determinations for pending scope rulings that it had inadvertently neglected to include with the Preliminary Results.8 On October 18, 2010, the National Candle Association (“NCA”), an interested party in this proceeding, filed comments in which it disagreed with the Department’s preliminary determinations.9 Specifically, the NCA argued that the Department’s analysis was flawed because it entailed ascertaining whether the candles conformed to the candle shapes and types listed in the Order’s scope language. Product Description Due to the large number of candles in the instant requests, the Department has provided a description of each candle in the attached appendix rather than in the instant memorandum. See Appendix. Legal Framework The regulations governing the Department’s antidumping scope determinations are found at 19 CFR 351.225. On matters concerning the scope of an antidumping duty order, the Department first examines the descriptions of the merchandise contained in the petition, the initial investigation and the determinations of the Secretary (including prior scope determinations) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”). This determination may take place with or without a formal inquiry. If the Department determines that these descriptions are dispositive of the matter, the Department will issue a final scope ruling as to whether the subject merchandise is covered by the Order. See 19 CFR 351.225(k)(1). Conversely, where the descriptions of the merchandise are not dispositive, the Department will consider the five additional factors set forth at 19 CFR 351.225(k)(2). These criteria are: (1) the physical characteristics of the merchandise; (2) the expectations of the ultimate purchasers; (3) the ultimate use of the product; (4) the channels of trade in which the product is sold; and (5) the manner in which the product is advertised and displayed. The determination as to which analytical framework is most appropriate in any given scope inquiry is made on a case-by-case basis after consideration of all evidence before the Department. In this case, the Department has evaluated the instant requests in accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(k)(1) and the scope interpretation detailed in the final results of this proceeding. The Department finds that the descriptions of the products contained in the petition, the initial investigation, and the determinations of the Secretary (including prior scope determinations) and

                                                            6 The details regarding the request for comments and the Department’s subsequent re-interpretation of the Order are described infra. 7 See Memorandum to the File through Alex Villanueva, Program Manager, from Tim Lord, Case Analyst, Certain Petroleum Wax Candles from the People’s Republic of China: Candle Scope Request Preliminary Determinations (August 9, 2010). 8 See Memorandum to the File through Alex Villanueva, Program Manager, from Tim Lord, Case Analyst, Petroleum Wax Candles from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Scope Rulings not Included in Preliminary Results (October 13, 2010). 9 See Letter from the National Candle Association to the Secretary of Commerce: Comments on Preliminary Scope Rulings Not Included in Preliminary Results of Request for Comments on the Scope of the Petroleum Wax Candles From the People’s Republic of China Antidumping Duty Order- Petroleum Wax Candles from the People’s Republic of China (A-570-504) (October 18, 2010).

the ITC are dispositive with respect to the candles of the instant requests. Therefore, for these candles, the Department finds it unnecessary to consider the additional factors set forth at 19 CFR 351.225(k)(2). Documents and parts thereof from the underlying investigation that the Department deemed relevant to this scope ruling were made part of the record of this determination and are referenced herein. The Department has explained its analysis of the record evidence in the Final Results10 and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. In accordance with this analysis, the Department has found that the scope of the Order includes candles of any shape, with the exception of birthday candles, birthday numeral candles, utility candles, and figurine candles. Background In its September 4, 1985, petition, the NCA requested that the since the less-than-fair value antidumping duty investigation (“LTFV investigation”) cover:

{c}andles {which} are made from petroleum wax and contain fiber or paper-cored wicks. They are sold in the following shapes: tapers, spirals, and straight-sided dinner candles; rounds, columns, pillars; votives; and various wax-filled containers. These candles may be scented or unscented . . . and are generally used by retail consumers in the home or yard for decorative or lighting purposes.

See Antidumping Petition (September 4, 1985) (“Petition”), at 7. The Department used this same language to define the scope of the investigation in its notice of initiation. This language carried forward without change through the preliminary and final determinations of sales at less than fair value and the eventual antidumping duty order:

{c}ertain scented or unscented petroleum wax candles made from petroleum wax and having fiber or paper-cored wicks. They are sold in the following shapes: tapers, spirals, and straight-sided dinner candles; rounds, columns, pillars, votives; and various wax-filled containers.

See Petroleum Wax Candles from the People’s Republic of China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigation, 50 FR 39743 (September 30, 1985); see also Petroleum Wax Candles from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 51 FR 6016 (February 19, 1986); Petroleum Wax Candles from the People’s Republic of China: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 51 FR 25085 (July 10, 1986); and Order. The Department’s interpretation of scope coverage during the early history of the Order was that birthday candles, birthday numeral candles, and “novelty candles” (candles in the shape of identifiable objects, or with holiday, religious, or special-occasion themes) were outside the scope of the Order. During this time, the Department conducted PRC petroleum wax candle scope rulings under the assumption that the scope of the Order was exclusive because it only                                                             10 See Final Results of Request for Comments on the Scope of the Petroleum Wax Candles from the People’s Republic of China Antidumping Duty Order, 76 FR 46277 (August 2, 2011)(“Final Results”) and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum (“I&D Memo”).,.

covered the candle shapes and types specifically enumerated in scope’s text (i.e., “tapers, spirals, and straight-sided dinner candles; rounds, columns, pillars, votives; and various wax-filled containers”) (“the enumerated shapes/types”) and excluded all other candle shapes and types, including all birthday/birthday numeral candles and novelty candles. In November 2001, the Department reconsidered this exclusive interpretation as it pertained to candle shapes. See Final Scope Ruling Antidumping Duty Order on Petroleum Wax Candles From the People’s Republic of China (A–570–504); JC Penney Purchasing Corporation, (November 9, 2001) (‘‘JC Penney’’). In this ruling, the Department reviewed the text of the scope of the Order, beginning with the first sentence, which states that covered are “{c}ertain scented or unscented petroleum wax candles made from petroleum wax and having fiber or paper-cored wicks.” See Order. The Department stated in JC Penney:

{t}he text following this broad inclusive sentence provides a list of shapes, which list is not modified by any express words of exclusivity. The result of our prior practice of excluding candles of a shape other than those listed was arguably inconsistent with the fact that such candles were scented or unscented petroleum wax candles made from petroleum wax and having fiber or paper–cored wicks.’

See JC Penney at 4–5, fn 1. Furthermore, in JC Penney, the Department stated:

We now determine that this practice was incorrect because it had the effect of narrowing the broad coverage of the first sentence of the Order’s scope. The list of shapes in the second sentence of the Order’s scope does not provide a textual basis for such a narrowing of the coverage of the first sentence of the Order’s scope.

See JC Penney at 5, fn 1.

Therefore, since 2001, the Department has interpreted the scope of the Order inclusively, finding that if a candle is made from petroleum wax and has a fiber or paper–cored wick it falls within the scope of the Order regardless of shape, unless the candle is a birthday/birthday numeral candle or a novelty candle, in which case it is excluded from the scope of the Order. In the 2006 LDM Anticircumvention Determination, the Department found that a mixed-wax candle11 containing any amount of petroleum was subject to the Order (unless the candle contains 50 percent or more of beeswax). See Later–Developed Merchandise Anticircumvention Inquiry of the Antidumping Duty Order on Petroleum Wax Candles from the People’s Republic of China: Affirmative Final Determination of Circumvention of the Antidumping Duty Order, 71 FR 59075 (October 6, 2006) (“LDM Anticircumvention Determination”). On August 21, 2009, the Department solicited comments from the general public on the best method to consider whether novelty candles should or should not be included within the scope of the Order given the uncertainty of the novelty exception’s origin and the extremely large number of scope determinations requested by outside parties. See Petroleum Wax Candles from the People’s Republic of China: Request for Comments on the Scope of the Antidumping Duty                                                             11 Mixed-wax candles are those that contain a mixture of petroleum and other types of wax, such as vegetable-based wax.

Order and the Impact on Scope Determinations, 74 FR 42230 (August 21, 2009) (“Request for Comments”). After a thorough analysis of record evidence from the LTFV investigation, the Department reached its final determination regarding the proper interpretation of the scope of the Order on July 26, 201112 (discussed in the Analysis section, infra). Analysis In the Final Results, the Department found that the scope of the Order should be based on “Option B,” proposed in the Department’s Request for Comments, which states:

The Department would consider all candle shapes, including novelty candles, to be within the scope of the Order, including those not in the shapes listed in the scope of the Order, as that is not an exhaustive list of shapes, but simply an illustrative list of common candle shapes.13

While including all aspects of Option B in its new interpretation, the Department added the modification that three types of candles would be excluded from the scope of the Order: birthday candles, utility candles, and figurine candles.14 The Department also found that record evidence from the LTFV investigation does not support the exclusion of candles based on holiday/religious/special-occasion themes, and therefore, that holiday/religious/special-occasion characteristics would have no bearing in determining whether a candle is included or excluded from the scope of the Order. See I&D Memo, at Comment 3.D. The Department determined that birthday candles are typically small, thin, pillar-shaped candles that range from 2 inches to 3.5 inches in height, 0.18 inch to 0.25 inch in width, and packaged in quantities of 10 to 24; and birthday numeral candles as candles that are in the shape of numbers that typically range from 2 to 4 inches in height (See I&D Memo, at Comment 3.A), and that utility candles are typically white in color, 5 inches long, 0.75 inch in diameter, and packaged in quantities of two or more (See I&D Memo, at Comment 3.B). The Department also found that record evidence best supports a scope interpretation where “figurine” is based on the definition of this term from the Webster’s Online Dictionary: “1. {a} small carved or molded figure...2. A very small figure, whether human or of an animal; especially, one in terra cotta or the like; -- distinguished from statuette, which is applied to small figures in bronze, marble, etc.” See I&D Memo, at Comment 3.C. Based on this definition, we found that the best description of a figurine candle is a candle that is in the shape of a human, animal, or deity. Id. In sum, the Department found that the scope should be read inclusively, reaffirming JC Penney,15 and that we would therefore interpret the scope of the Order as follows: all petroleum wax candles (regardless of holiday/religious/special-occasion theme), are within the scope of the Order, except for birthday candles, utility candles, and figurine candles. The Department still holds this interpretation. The Department has applied its interpretation of the Order’s scope to the candles in the instant requests below. As noted supra, the Department’s new interpretation is such that a candle’s conformity to one of the enumerated shapes/types no longer has bearing on scope coverage,                                                             12 See Final Results. 13 See Request for Comments, at 74 FR 42231. 14 See I&D Memo, at Comment 1. 15 Though, unlike JC Penney, which relied largely on the text of the Order, the Department found that descriptions of the merchandise from the LTFV investigation also support an inclusive reading of the scope.

Conclusion With respect to the candles analyzed supra, the Department has found the candles that are in the shape of figurines to be outside the scope of the Order. All of the other candles under analysis are inside the scope of the Order because they are petroleum wax candles with a fiber or paper-cored wick and do not fall within any other exclusions for the Order (i.e., they are not birthday, utility, or figurine candles). RECOMMENDATION We recommend the Department find those candles listed as outside scope in the Analysis section to be outside the scope of the Order, and those candles listed as within scope in the Analysis section to be within the scope of the Order. If you agree, we will send the attached letter to the interested parties, and will notify CBP of our determination.
