Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

ACTION: Notice of final results of antidumping duty administrative 
review.

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

SUMMARY: On July 14, 1995, the Department of Commerce published in the 
Federal Register the preliminary results of an administrative review of 
the antidumping duty finding on fishnetting of man-made fibers from 
Japan. This review covers one company for the period June 1, 1993 
through May 31, 1994. We did not receive any comments on the 
preliminary results. Therefore, the dumping margin for the company 
reviewed is unchanged from the margin presented in the preliminary 
results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 14, 1995, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of the 
administrative review of the antidumping finding on fishnetting of man-
made fibers from Japan (60 FR 36261). The Department has now completed 
this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act).

Scope of the Review

    Imports covered by the review are shipments of fishnetting of man-
made fibers, not including salmon gill netting, from Japan. This 
merchandise is currently classified under item numbers 5608.11.00, 
5608.19.10, and 5608.90.10 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). The 
HTS subheading is provided for convenience and for U.S. Customs 
purposes. The written description remains dispositive as to the scope 
of the product coverage. The period of review is June 1, 1993, through 
May 31, 1994.

Applicable Statute

    The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (Act). Unless otherwise 
indicated, all citations to the statute and to the Department's 
regulations are in reference to the provisions as they existed on 
December 31, 1994.

United States Price

    As stated in the preliminary results, in accordance with section 
772(b) of the Act, the Department based USP on purchase price, because 
the merchandise was sold to unrelated U.S. purchasers prior to 
importation. Purchase price was based on c.i.f. U.S. port and packed 
prices to unrelated purchasers in the United States. The contract date 
was the date that the terms of sale, quantity, and price were final; 
thus, the Department accepted the respondent's contract date as the 
date of sale. We made adjustments, where applicable, for Japanese and 
U.S. ocean freight, marine insurance, shipping charges, and inland 
freight. No other adjustments were claimed or allowed. We reviewed 
information Yamaji submitted regarding product matches and determined 
product comparisons based on this information. We first compared 
products sold in the United States to identical products sold in the 
home market. For several of the products sold in the United States, we 
did not find a contemporaneous sale of the identical product in the 
home market. To determine similar merchandise in the home market, we 
grouped products according to their specifications. We then compared 
U.S. sales to these groups, again using these specifications as our 
matching criterion. See Antifriction Bearings (Other Than Tapered 
Roller Bearings) and Parts Thereof From the Federal Republic of 
Germany; Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, 56 
FR 31692, 31714 (July 11, 1991).

Foreign Market Value

    In accordance with section 773(a) of the Act, the Department 
calculated FMV for Yamaji based on f.o.b. and delivered prices to 
unrelated purchasers in the home market. We used the invoice date as 
the date of sale for these transactions. Because information from 
Yamaji indicated that there were no cost differences between the U.S. 
merchandise and similar home market merchandise, we did not make a 
difference in merchandise adjustment to FMV for physical differences in 
accordance with 19 CFR 353.57(a). We adjusted FMV for the differences 
in packing costs between the home market and the U.S. market. We 
deducted home market packing costs from the home market price and added 
U.S. packing costs to the FMV. No other adjustments were claimed or 
allowed.
    We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the 
preliminary results and received no written comments. Accordingly, we 
will continue to apply the rate of 2.58 percent as established in the 
preliminary determination.

Final Results of Review

    As a result of this review, we determine that the following margin 
exists for the period June 1, 1993, through May 31, 1994:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                 Percent
                     Manufacturer/exporter                       margin 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yamaji........................................................      2.58
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department shall determine, and the U.S. Customs Service shall 
assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department 
shall issue appraisement instructions directly to the Customs Service.
    Furthermore, the following deposit requirements shall be effective, 
upon publication of this notice of final results of administrative 
review, for all shipments of the subject merchandise from Japan that 
are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 
the date of publication of this notice, as provided by section 
751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the reviewed 
company will be the rate established above; (2) for previously reviewed 
or investigated companies not listed above, 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 review, a 
previous review, or the original 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 conducted by the Department, the cash deposit rate 
will be zero percent, the all others rate established in the final 
results of the first administrative review (49 FR 19339, April 30, 
1984).
    The deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until publication of the final results of the next administrative 
review.
    This notice serves as a final 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 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.
    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(d). Timely written notification of 
return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial 
protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the 
regulation and the terms if the APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This administrative review and notice are in accordance with 
section 751(a)(1) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR 353.22.
