Certain Paper Clips From the People's Republic of China: 
Continuation of Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of 
Commerce (Department) and the International Trade Commission (ITC) that 
revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain paper clips 
(paper clips) from the People's Republic of China (PRC) would likely 
lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to 
an industry in the United States, the Department is publishing a notice 
of continuation of the AD order.

DATES: Applicable October 30, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maliha Khan or Thomas Martin, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office IV, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 
NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 202-482-0895 or 202-482-3936, 
respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 25, 1994, the Department published in the Federal 
Register the AD order on paper clips from the PRC.\1\ On June 1, 2016, 
the Department published in the Federal Register the initiation notice 
for the fourth sunset review of the AD duty order on paper clips from 
the PRC, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act).\2\ The Department conducted this sunset review on an 
expedited basis, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), because it received a complete and adequate 
response from a domestic interested party, but no substantive responses 
from respondent interested parties. As a result of its review, the 
Department determined that revocation of the Order would likely lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and notified the ITC of the 
magnitude of the margins likely to prevail should the Order be 
revoked.\3\ On August 30, 2017, the ITC published its determination 
that revocation of the Order would likely lead to a continuation or 
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States 
within a reasonably foreseeable time, pursuant to section 751(c) of the 
Act.\4\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the Order are certain paper clips, wholly 
of wire of base metal, whether or not galvanized, whether or not plated 
with nickel or other base metal (e.g., copper), with a wire diameter 
between 0.025 inches and 0.075 inches (0.64 to 1.91 millimeters), 
regardless of physical configuration, except as specifically excluded. 
The products subject to the Order may have a rectangular or ring-like 
shape and include, but are not limited to, clips commercially referred 
to as ``No. 1 clips'', ``No. 3 clips'', ``Jumbo'' or ``Giant'' clips, 
``Gem clips'', ``Frictioned clips'', ``Perfect Gems'', ``Marcel Gems'', 
``Universal clips'', ``Nifty clips'', ``Peerless clips'', ``Ring 
clips'', and ``Glide-On clips''.
    Specifically excluded from the scope of the Order are plastic and 
vinyl covered paper clips, butterfly clips, binder clips, or other 
paper fasteners that are not made wholly of wire of base metal and are 
covered under a separate subheading of the HTSUS.
    The products subject to the order are currently classifiable under 
subheading 8305.90.3010 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for 
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope 
of the order is dispositive.

Continuation of the Order

    As a result of the determinations by the Department and the ITC 
that revocation of the Order would be likely lead to a continuation or 
recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United 
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), 
the Department hereby orders the continuation of the AD order on paper 
clips from the PRC. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to 
collect AD cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry 
for all imports of subject merchandise.

[[Page 50121]]

    The effective date of the continuation of the Order will be the 
date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of 
continuation. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department 
intends to initiate the next five-year review of the Order not later 
than 30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of 
continuation.
    This five-year sunset review and this notice are in accordance with 
section 751(c) of the Act and published pursuant to section 777(i)(1) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
