Color Television Receivers From the Republic of Korea; Amended 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Amended Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review.

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

SUMMARY: On September 27, 1993, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) published the final results of the eighth administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on color television receivers 
(CTVs) from the Republic of Korea (Korea) (58 FR 50333). The review 
covered the period April 1, 1990, through March 31, 1991. On July 5, 
1994, the Court of International Trade (CIT) ordered the Department to 
recalculate the adjustment for taxes forgiven on CTVs manufactured by 
Samsung Electronics Corp. (Samsung) and exported to the United States. 
On December 28, 1994, the CIT affirmed the Department's recalculations. 
Since the CIT's ruling was not appealed, we are amending our final 
results of the eighth administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on CTVs from Korea with respect to Samsung.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 12, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph Hanley or Zev Primor, Office of 
Antidumping Compliance, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 
482-5253.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Scope of the Review

    Imports covered by this review include CTVs, complete and 
incomplete, from the Republic of Korea. This merchandise is currently 
classified 

[[Page 35896]]
under item numbers 8528.10.80, 8529.90.15, 8529.90.20, and 8540.11.00 
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). Since the order covers all 
CTVs regardless of HTS classification, the HTS subheading is provided 
for convenience and for the U.S. Customs Service purposes. Our written 
description of the scope of the order remains dispositive. The period 
of review is April 1, 1990 through March 31, 1991.

Amended Final Results of Review

    The CIT instructed the Department to recalculate the adjustment for 
taxes forgiven by reason of the exportation of the subject merchandise 
to the United States. Pursuant to the remand order, we have 
recalculated our adjustment to United States price to account for 
Korean taxes not collected on CTVs exported to the United States. These 
recalculations are in accordance with the methodology adopted by the 
Department following the decision by the United States Court of Appeals 
for the Federal Circuit in Zenith Electronics Corp. v. United States, 
988 F.2d 1573, 1581 (Fed. Cir. 1993). As a result of our 
recalculations, we have determined that the following percentage 
weighted-average margin exists for the period April 1, 1990 through 
March 31, 1991:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                Percent 
                    Manufacturer/exporter                        margin 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Samsung......................................................       0.47
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While these amended final results reflect a change in Samsung's 
margin from 0.37 to 0.47 percent, Samsung's current cash deposit 
requirements with the U.S. Customs Service remain unchanged at zero 
percent, reflecting the fact that Samsung's margin remains de minimis.
    Because the CIT's decision has not been appealed, the Department 
will order the immediate lifting of the suspension of liquidation of, 
and instruct the U.S. Customs Service to assess antidumping duties on, 
entries subject to this review, as appropriate. Individual differences 
between foreign market value and U.S. price may vary from the 
percentage stated above. The Department will issue appraisement 
instructions concerning these entries directly to the U.S. Customs 
Service.
    This notice serves as a reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 353.26 to file a certificate regarding the 
reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the 
relevant entries during the 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.
    This amendment of final results of review and notice are in 
accordance with section 751(f) of the Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1673(d)) 
and 19 CFR 353.28(c).

    Dated: July 5, 1995.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
