Narrow Woven Ribbons With Woven Selvedge From Taiwan; Final 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2013-2014

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On October 7, 2015, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) published the Preliminary Results of the fourth 
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, Roung Shu 
Industry Corporation (Roung Shu) and A-Madeus Textile Ltd. (A-Madeus). 
The period of review (POR) is September 1, 2013, through August 31, 
2014. 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, 2015, the Department published the Preliminary 
Results in the Federal Register. In November 2015, we received a case 
brief from A-Madeus and a rebuttal brief from the petitioners.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The petitioners in this case are Berwick Offray LLC and its 
wholly-owned subsidiary, Lion Ribbon Company, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On February 3, 2016, the Department postponed the final results by 
60 days.3 4 The Department conducted this administrative 
review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See the February 3, 2016, memorandum to Gary Taverman, 
Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Operations through Melissa G. Skinner, Director, 
Office II from David Crespo, Senior International Trade Compliance 
Analyst, entitled ``Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven Selvedge from 
Taiwan: Extension of Deadline for Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review.''
    \4\ On January 27, 2016, the Department exercised its discretion 
to toll all administrative deadlines due to the recent closure of 
the Federal Government. All deadlines in this segment of the 
proceeding have been extended by four business days. Therefore, the 
revised deadline for the final results of this review is now April 
11, 2016. See Memorandum to the Record from Ron Lorentzen, Acting 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, entitled, 
``Tolling of Administrative Deadlines as a Result of the Government 
Closure during Snowstorm ``Jonas'' (January 27, 2016).

or to the rate assigned to A-Madeus in these final results. For further 
discussion, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Period of Review

    The POR is September 1, 2013, through August 31, 2014.

Final Results of the Review

    We are assigning the following weighted-average dumping margins to 
the firms listed below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Dumping
                    Producer/exporter                         margin
                                                             (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roung Shu Industry Corporation..........................            0.00
A-Madeus Textile Ltd....................................           30.64
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
    Pursuant to the Final Modification for Reviews,\7\ because Roung 
Shu's weighted-average dumping margin is zero, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping 
duties,\8\ pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) 
(Final Modification for Reviews).
    \8\ Id., 77 FR at 8102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For A-Madeus, we will base the assessment rate assigned to the 
corresponding entries on the margin listed above, using the same 
methodology stated in the Preliminary Results.

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 Roung Shu and A-Madeus will be equal to the dumping margins 
established in the final results of this administrative review (except, 
if the rate is zero or de minimis, a zero cash deposit rate will be 
required for that company); (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.\9\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 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 11, 2016.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
