[Federal Register Volume 83, Number 237 (Tuesday, December 11, 2018)] [Notices] [Pages 63625-63626] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2018-26777] [[Page 63625]] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-583-837] Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip From Taiwan: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2016-2017 AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that Nan Ya Plastics Corporation (Nan Ya) did not sell subject merchandise at less than normal value during the POR, July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. DATES: Applicable December 11, 2018. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacqueline Arrowsmith, AD/CVD Operations, Office VII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-5255. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On August 10, 2018, Commerce published the preliminary results for this administrative review.\1\ We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. We received no comments nor requests for a hearing from any party.\2\ Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip from Taiwan: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2016-2017, 83 FR 39687. (August 10, 2018) (Preliminary Results) and accompanying Preliminary Issues and Decision Memorandum. \2\ For further details of the issues addressed in this proceeding, see the Preliminary Results and accompanying Preliminary Issues and Decision Memorandum. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the Order The products covered by the antidumping duty order are all gauges of raw, pretreated, or primed polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet, and strip (PET film), whether extruded or coextruded. Excluded are metalized films and other finished films that have had at least one of their surfaces modified by the application of a performance-enhancing resinous or inorganic layer of more than 0.00001 inches thick. Imports of PET film are currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under item number 3920.62.00.90. HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes. The written description of the scope of the antidumping duty order is dispositive. Final Determination of No Shipments Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) information and information provided by Shinkong Materials Technology Corporation (SMTC) and its affiliate Shinkong Synthetic Fibers Corporation (SSFC), we determine that SMTC had no shipments of the subject merchandise during the POR. Final Results of Review As there are no changes from, or comments upon, the Preliminary Results, Commerce has not modified its analysis or calculations. Accordingly, no decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register notice. We continue to find that Nan Ya did not make sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value during the POR. Commerce determines that the weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Weighted- Producer/exporter average margin (percentage) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nan Ya Plastics Corporation............................ 0.00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Assessment Rates Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in this review, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of these final results of review. Because we calculated a zero margin in the final results of this review for Nan Ya, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to dumping duties. In accordance with Commerce's practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR that SMTC or its affiliate, SSFC, did not know that the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Nan Ya will be 0.00 percent, the rate established in the final results of this review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not covered in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this or any previous review or in the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash-deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any previous review or the investigation, the cash-deposit rate will continue to be the all-others rate of 2.40 percent, which is the all-others rate established by Commerce in the LTFV investigation.\3\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \3\ See Notice of Final Amended Antidumping Duty Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet and Strip (PET) from Taiwan, 67 FR 44174 (July 1, 2002); see also Notice of Amended Final Antidumping Duty Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order, 67 FR 46566 (July 15, 2002). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reimbursement of Duties This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. [[Page 63626]] Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation, which is subject to sanction. We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h). Dated: December 4, 2018.
