Narrow Woven Ribbons With Woven Selvedge From Taiwan; Preliminary 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2012-2013

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on narrow woven 
ribbons with woven selvedge from Taiwan. The review covers two 
producers/exporters of the subject merchandise, King Young Enterprise 
Co., Ltd. (King Young) \1\ and Hen Hao Trading Co. Ltd. a.k.a. Taiwan 
Tulip Ribbons and Braids Co. Ltd. (Hen Hao). The POR is September 1, 
2012, through August 31, 2013. We preliminarily determine that sales of 
subject merchandise to the United States have been made at prices below 
normal value (NV). We invite all interested parties to comment on these 
preliminary results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In this review, the Department determined to treat King 
Young as a collapsed entity with Glory Young Enterprise Co., Ltd., 
an affiliated producer of subject merchandise, and Ethel Enterprise 
Co., Ltd. Taiwan, an affiliated trading company that exported 
subject merchandise to the United States during the period of review 
(POR). See the memorandum from The Team, to James Maeder, Director, 
Office II, AD/CVD Operations, entitled, ``Whether to Collapse King 
Young Enterprise Co., Ltd. and Glory Young Enterprise Co., Ltd. in 
the 2012-2013 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Narrow Woven 
Ribbons With Woven Selvedge From Taiwan,'' dated June 11, 2014.

DATES: Effective Date: October 7, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order

    \2\ For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see 
``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the 
Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Narrow Woven 
Ribbons With Woven Selvedge From Taiwan,'' from Gary Taverman, 
Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary 
for Enforcement & Compliance (Preliminary Decision Memorandum), 
dated September 25, 2014. See also Narrow Woven Ribbons With Woven 
Selvedge From Taiwan and the People's Republic of China: Amended 
Antidumping Duty Orders, 75 FR 56982 (Sept. 17, 2010) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    The Department conducted this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Export price 
is calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. NV is 
calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. Because mandatory 
respondent Hen Hao failed to respond to the Department's questionnaire, 
we preliminarily determine to apply adverse facts available (AFA) to 
this respondent, in accordance with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.308.
    For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of the 
topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached as 
an Appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a 
public 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 Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed and the electronic versions of the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content.

    The Department intends to issue the final results of this 
administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the 
issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the 
date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h), unless this deadline is extended.

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuance of the final results, the Department shall determine, 
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries covered by this review if any importer-specific 
assessment rate calculated in the final results of this review is above 
de minimis. Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping 
margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific rate is zero or 
de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries 
without regard to antidumping duties. Where assessments are based upon 
total facts available, including AFA, we instruct CBP to assess duties 
at the AFA margin rate. The final results of this review shall be the 
basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of 
merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future 
deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after 
publication of the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for 
all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate 
for each specific company listed above will be equal to the dumping 
margins established in the final results of this administrative review, 
unless the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis 
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash 
deposit rate will be zero; (2) for merchandise exported by 
manufacturers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a 
prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to 
be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed 
segment; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or 
the original investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate established for the most recently completed 
segment for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash 
deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to 
be 4.37 percent, the all-others rate determined in the less-than-fair-
value investigation.\11\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Order, 75 FR at 56985.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: September 25, 2014.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
