Narrow Woven Ribbon With Woven Selvedge From the People's
Republic of China: Final Results of Administrative Review; 2012-2013
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On June 9, 2014, the Department of Commerce (the
``Department'') published the preliminary results and partial
rescission of the 2012-2013 administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on narrow woven ribbon with woven selvedge (``NWR'') from
the People's Republic of China (``PRC''), in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'').\1\
The period of review (``POR'') is September 1, 2012, through August 31,
2013. Because the PRC-wide entity failed to cooperate to the best of
its ability in complying with our requests for information, we
preliminarily determined an estimated weighted-average dumping margin
for the PRC-wide entity based on facts available with an adverse
inference (``AFA''). The Department invited interested parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results. No parties commented. Accordingly,
our final results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 9, 2014, the Department published the Preliminary Results.
The Department explained that it had initiated an administrative review
of the company, Yangzhou Bestpak Gifts & Crafts Co., Ltd. (``Bestpak'')
and issued questionnaires to Bestpak, which did not respond to those
questionnaires. Because Bestpak did not establish that its export
activities were separate from that of the PRC-wide entity, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.107(d), the Department preliminarily
determined that Bestpak was part of the PRC-wide entity. Further,
because the PRC-wide entity failed to provide responses to
questionnaires and cooperate to the best of its ability in complying
with the information requests, the Department preliminarily determined
an estimated weighted-average dumping margin based on AFA, in
accordance with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, for the PRC-wide
entity. We invited interested parties to submit comments on the
Preliminary Results. No party commented, nor did any party request a
hearing.

Final Results of Review
As noted above, the Department received no comments concerning the
Preliminary Results on the record of this segment of the proceeding. As
there are no changes from, or comments upon, the Preliminary Results,
the Department finds that there is no reason to modify its analysis.
Thus, we continue to determine that Bestpak is part of the PRC-wide
entity for these final results, and that the PRC-wide entity has failed
to act to the best of its ability to responding to the Department's
requests for information, warranting the application of AFA, in
accordance with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. Accordingly, no
decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register notice. For
further details of the issues addressed in this proceeding, see the
Preliminary Results and the accompanying Preliminary Decision
Memorandum. The final weighted-average dumping margin for the period
September 1, 2012, through August 31, 2013, is as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter dumping
margin
(percent)

following companies that indicated that they did not ship subject
merchandise to the United States during the POR: (1) Apex Trimmings
Inc. d/b/a Papillon Ribbon & Bow (Canada); (2) Cheng Hsing Ribbon

Assessment
The Department will determine, and Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review.\5\ The Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of these
final results of review. The Department intends to instruct CBP to
liquidate entries of subject merchandise from Bestpak at the PRC-wide
rate of 247.65 percent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters which are not under
review in this segment of the proceeding but which have separate rates,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate
published for the most recent period; (2) for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of
247.65 percent; and (3) for all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that supplied
that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
This notice 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 POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to the
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely notification of the
destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order
is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
