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

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On October 7, 2014, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) published the Preliminary Results of the third 
administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on narrow 
woven ribbons with woven selvedge (NWR) from Taiwan.\1\ The review 
covers two producers/exporters of the subject merchandise: King Young 
Enterprise Co., Ltd. and its affiliates, Ethel Enterprise Co., Ltd. and 
Glory Young Enterprise Co., Ltd., (collectively, King Young); and Hen 
Hao Trading Co. Ltd. a.k.a. Taiwan Tulip Ribbons and Braids Co. Ltd. 
(Hen Hao). The period of review (POR) is September 1, 2012, through 
August 31, 2013. We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment 
on the Preliminary Results and, based upon our analysis of the 
comments, we continue to find that sales of subject merchandise to the 
United States have been made at prices below normal value (NV). The 
final dumping margins for the reviewed companies are listed below in 
the section entitled ``Final Results of the Review.''

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 7, 2014, the Department published the Preliminary 
Results in the Federal Register. The Department conducted a sales 
verification of King Young at its offices in Taiwan from September 29 
through October 3, 2014, and a cost verification from November 12 
through 16, 2014. In January 2015, we received case briefs from Berwick 
Offray LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Lion Ribbon Company, Inc. 
(the petitioner), King Young, and Morex Ribbon Corp. and Papillon 
Ribbon & Bow Inc., importers of subject merchandise. Also in January 
2015, we received rebuttal briefs from the petitioner and King Young. 
On January 15, 2015, the Department postponed the final results by 60 
days.\2\ The Department has conducted this administrative review in 
accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act).

below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Dumping
                     Producer/exporter                          margin
                                                              (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
King Young Enterprise Co., Ltd./...........................        30.64
Glory Young Enterprise Co., Ltd./..........................
Ethel Enterprise Co., Ltd. Taiwan..........................
Hen Hao Trading Co. Ltd. a.k.a. Taiwan.....................       137.20
Tulip Ribbons and Braids Co. Ltd...........................
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure and Public Comment

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed within five days 
of the date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), the Department has determined, and U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries of subject merchandise and deposits of estimated 
duties, where applicable, in accordance with the final results of this 
review. The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of the final 
results of this administrative review.
    For King Young, the Department will calculate importer-specific 
assessment rates equal to the total amount of dumping calculated for 
the importer's examined sales and the total entered value of those 
sales. Where an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis 
(i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the Department will instruct CBP to 
liquidate these entries without regard to antidumping duties pursuant 
to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
    For Hen Hao's U.S. sales, we will base the assessment rate assigned 
to the corresponding entries on the AFA rate listed above.

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 rates 
for Hen Hao and King Young will be equal to the dumping margins 
established in the final results of this administrative review; 2) for 
merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in this 
administrative 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, a prior review, or the original 
less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the 
cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently-
completed segment of this proceeding 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 LTFV investigation.\6\ These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Order, 75 FR 56985.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

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

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    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 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to 
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with 
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 6, 2015.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
