document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service 
System (``IA ACCESS''). IA ACCESS is available to registered users at 
http://iaaccess.trade.gov, and it is available to all parties in the 
Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce 
building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum can be accessed directly on the internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed Issues and Decision 
Memorandum and the electronic versions of the Issues Decision 
Memorandum are identical in content.

Use of Facts Available and Adverse Facts Available

    As stated in the Preliminary Results, Goldon Bedding Manufacturing 
(M) Sdn Bhd (``Goldon'') and Ta Cheng Coconut Knitting Company Ltd. 
(``Ta Cheng'') each failed to cooperate to the best of their ability in 
providing requested information because they withheld requested 
information, failed to provide the information in a timely manner and 
in the form requested, and significantly impeded this proceeding.\5\ 
Accordingly, pursuant to sections 776(a)(2)(A), (B), and (C) and 
section 776(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), we 
find it appropriate to assign to Goldon and Ta Cheng dumping margins of 
234.51 percent based on total adverse facts available (``AFA''). 
Because Goldon is located in Malaysia and Ta Cheng is located in 
Taiwan, we are treating them as third-country resellers. Accordingly, 
this rate only applies to Goldon's and Ta Cheng's PRC-origin 
merchandise.\6\

Goldon Bedding Manufacturing (M) Sdn Bhd....................      234.51
Ta Cheng Coconut Knitting Company Ltd.......................      234.51
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
the Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 
after the date of publication of the final results of review in the 
Federal Register.
    For Goldon and Ta Cheng, the Department will instruct CBP to assess 
antidumping duties on their entries of subject merchandise at the rate 
of 234.51 percent.

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 for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters 
listed above, the cash deposit rate will be 234.51 percent for their 
entries of subject (i.e., PRC-origin PSF) merchandise; (2) for 
previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not 
listed above that have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 
continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most 
recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) for all PRC 
exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to be 
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that 
established for the PRC-wide entity of 234.51 percent; and (4) 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 that supplied that non-PRC exporter with the subject 
merchandise. The deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

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 period of review. 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.

Administrative Protective Orders

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 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, which continues to 
govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or 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 violation which is subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing this administrative review and notice 
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: September 12, 2014.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
