RE: FINAL ANTIDUMPIN DUTY DETERMINATION OF OSCILATING FANS
AND CEILING FANS FROM THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
(A-570-205) (A-570-206)


1. The Department of Commerce published on October 25, 1991 its
final determinations of sales at less than fair value regarding
oscillating fans and ceiling fans from the PRC.

2. Imports covered by these investigations constitute two separate
classes or kinds of merchandise: (1) oscillating fans; and (2)
ceiling fans.

Oscillating fans are electric fans that direct a flow of air using a
fan blade/motor unit that pivots back and forth on a stationary base
("oscillates"). Oscillating fans incorporate a self-contained
electric motor of an output not exceeding 125 watts.

Ceiling fans are electric fans that direct a downward and/or upward
flow of air using a fan blade/motor unit. Ceiling fans incorporate a
self-contained electric motor of an output not exceeding 125 watts.
Ceiling fans are designed for permanent or semi-permanent
installation.

Window fans, industrial oscillating fans, industrial ceiling fans,
and commercial ventilator fans are not included within the scope of
these investigations.
Furthermore, industrial ceiling fans are defined as ceiling fans that
meet six or more of the following criteria in any combination: a
maximum speed of greater than 280 revolutions per minute (RPMs); a
minimum air delivery capacity of 8000 cubic feet per minute (CFM); no
reversible motor switch; controlled by wall-mounted electronic
switch; no built-in motor controls; no decorative features; not light
adaptable; fan blades greater than 52 inches in diameter; metal fan
blades; downrod mounting only--no hugger mounting capability; three
fan blades; fan blades mounted on top of motor housing; single-speed
motor.

3. Oscillating fans are provided for under HTS subheading
8414.51.0090. Ceiling fans are provided for under HTS subheading
8414.51.0030. The HTS subheadings are provided for convenience and
Customs purposes. The written description remains dispositive as to
the scope of product coverage.

4. For further reporting purposes these cases have been assigned
investigation number A-570-807. This number should be used when
dealing with the Department of Commerce only. The Customs
identification numbers (see below) are to be used for Customs
identification purposes and blue line reports.

5. It should be noted that in these determinations, we found no
dumping or de minimis margins for oscillating fans of Durable
Electrical Metal Factory (Durable) and Polaray Industrial Corporation
(Polaray), and ceiling fans of Shell Electrical Manfacturing Company
(Shell) and Xinhui Electric Motor Factory (Xinhui). Therefore, you
shall terminate the suspension of liquidation on entries of
oscillating fans by Durable and Polaray, and ceiling fans by Shell
and Xinhui. In addition, you should release any cash deposits or
bonds posted on entries of these products made prior to these
determinations.

In addition, the U.S. Customs Service shall suspend or continue to
suspend liquidation of all entries of the following manufacturers,
producers and exporters that (except for those with 0% or de minimis
margins) are entered or withdrawn from the warehouse, for consumption
on or after October 25, 1991, and shall require a cash deposit or
posting of a bond equal to the estimated final margin percentages
listed below:
