SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Case History

    On October 10, 2003, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain folding gift boxes from the People's 
Republic of China (PRC). See Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review: Certain Folding Gift Boxes from the People's 
Republic of China, 68 FR 58653. We gave interested parties an 
opportunity to comment on the preliminary results of review but 
received no comments. The Department has now completed this review in 
accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act).

Scope of Order

    The products covered by this antidumping duty order are certain 
folding gift boxes. Certain folding gift boxes are a type of folding or 
knock-down carton manufactured from paper or paperboard. Certain 
folding gift boxes are produced from a variety of recycled and virgin 
paper or paperboard materials, including, but not limited to, clay-
coated paper or paperboard and kraft (bleached or unbleached) paper or 
paperboard. The scope of the order excludes gift boxes manufactured 
from paper or paperboard of a thickness of more than 0.8 millimeters, 
corrugated

paperboard, or paper mache. The scope of the order also excludes those 
gift boxes for which no side of the box, when assembled, is at least 
nine inches in length.
    Certain folding gift boxes are typically decorated with a holiday 
motif using various processes, including printing, embossing, 
debossing, and foil stamping, but may also be plain white or printed 
with a single color. The subject merchandise includes certain folding 
gift boxes, with or without handles, whether finished or unfinished, 
and whether in one-piece or multi-piece configuration. One-piece gift 
boxes are die-cut or otherwise formed so that the top, bottom, and 
sides form a single, contiguous unit. Two-piece gift boxes are those 
with a folded bottom and a folded top as separate pieces. Certain 
folding gift boxes are generally packaged in shrink-wrap, cellophane, 
or other packaging materials, in single or multi-box packs for sale to 
the retail customer. The scope of the order excludes folding gift boxes 
that have a retailer's name, logo, trademark or similar company 
information printed prominently on the box's top exterior (such folding 
gift boxes are often known as ``not-for-resale'' gift boxes or ``give-
away'' gift boxes and may be provided by department and specialty 
stores at no charge to their retail customers). The scope of the order 
also excludes folding gift boxes where both the outside of the box is a 
single color and the box is not packaged in shrink-wrap, cellophane, 
other resin-based packaging films, or paperboard.
    Imports of the subject merchandise are classified under Harmonized 
Tariff Schedules of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 4819.20.00.40 
and 4819.50.40.60. These subheadings also cover products that are 
outside the scope of the order. Furthermore, although the HTSUS 
subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our 
written description of the scope of the order is dispositive.

Analysis of the Comments Received

    No parties submitted comments on the preliminary results of review. 
Accordingly, there is no concurrent issues and decision memorandum or 
analysis memorandum issued with these final results of review. Further, 
we have made no changes in the calculations since the preliminary 
results of review.

Final Results of Review

    We determine the following percentage weighted-average dumping 
margins exist for folding gift boxes for the period August 6, 2001, 
through December 31, 2002:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Margin
                  Exporter/manufacturer                      (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Red Point Paper Products Co., Ltd.......................            0.00
PRC-wide rate (including Yun Choy, Ltd.)................          164.75
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have calculated, 
whenever possible, an exporter/importer (or customer)-specific 
assessment value for subject merchandise. The Department will issue 
appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP within 15 days of 
publication of these final results of review. We will direct CBP to 
assess the resulting assessment rates against the entered customs 
values for the subject merchandise on each of the importer's entries 
during the review period.

Cash-Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of this notice of final results of administrative review 
for all shipments of folding gift boxes entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication, as 
provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash-deposit rates 
for the reviewed companies will be the rates established above; (2) for 
previously investigated or reviewed companies not listed above, the 
cash-deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate 
published for the most recent period; (3) the cash deposit rate for all 
other PRC exporters (except for Max Fortune, which was excluded from 
the antidumping duty order) will be the ``PRC-wide'' rate; and (4) the 
cash deposit rate for all other non-PRC exporters will be the rate 
applicable to the PRC exporter that supplied that exporter.
    These deposit requirements 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 351.402(f) 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 Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a 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 351.305. Timely notification of return/
destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order 
is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms 
of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    We are issuing and publishing this administrative review and notice 
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: December 17, 2003.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
