SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 28, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
Preliminary Results of the 2023 administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on yarn from India.\1\ The review covers the
sole mandatory respondent, AYM Syntex Limited (AYM). We invited
interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.\2\ On April
18, 2025, AYM submitted a case brief.\3\ Because Commerce received no
comments requiring changes to the Preliminary Results, we have not
modified our dumping margin calculations nor analysis, and thus, no
decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register notice.
Accordingly, the final results are unchanged from the Preliminary
Results, and we are adopting the Preliminary Results as the final
results of this review. Commerce conducted this review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).

(AYM Case Brief).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the Order, polyester textured yarn, is
synthetic multifilament yarn that is manufactured from polyester
(polyethylene terephthalate). Polyester textured yarn is produced
through a texturing process, which imparts special properties to the
filaments of the yarn, including stretch, bulk, strength, moisture
absorption, insulation, and the appearance of a natural fiber. This
scope includes all forms of polyester textured yarn, regardless of
surface texture or appearance, yarn density and thickness (as measured
in denier), number of filaments, number of plies, finish (luster),
cross section, color, dye method, texturing method, or packing method
(such as spindles, tubes, or beams).
Excluded from the scope of this Order is bulk continuous filament
yarn that: (a) is polyester synthetic multifilament yarn; (b) has
denier size ranges of 900 and above; (c) has turns per meter of 40 and
above; and (d) has a maximum shrinkage of 2.5 percent.
The merchandise subject to this Order is properly classified under
subheadings 5402.33.3000 and 5402.33.6000 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Merchandise
[[Page 24781]]
subject to this Order may also enter under HTSUS subheading 5402.52.00.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the merchandise is dispositive.
Final Results of Review
Although AYM submitted a case brief, it did not request any changes
to the Preliminary Results in this review. In AYM's case brief, it
requested that Commerce revise the final liquidation instructions to
reflect the full name of the company ``AYM Syntex Limited.'' \4\ While
Commerce accepts the request to revise the final liquidation
instructions, the request does not change the final results in this
administrative review.

As a result of this review, we determine the following estimated
weighted-average dumping margin exists for the POR:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter or producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
AYM Syntex Limited......................................... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
performed in final results within five days of any public announcement
or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of
publication of the notice of final results in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because we have made no
changes from the Preliminary Results, there are no new calculations to
disclose in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these final results.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review.
For AYM, because its weighted-average dumping margin is zero, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate entries reported in this review without
regard to antidumping duties. Consistent with Commerce's ``automatic
assessment'' practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the
POR produced by AYM for which it did not know its merchandise was
destined for the United States (i.e., entries sold through a reseller,
trading company, or exporter), we will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date in the
Federal Register of the final results of this administrative review, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate
for AYM Syntex Limited will be equal to the weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of this administrative review
(i.e., 0.00 percent); (2) for merchandise exported by a company not
covered in this review but covered in a prior completed segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or a
previous segment, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established in the completed segment for the most recent
period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 13.50
percent,\6\ the all-others rate established in the less than fair value
investigation.\7\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice. These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
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 and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to
comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred
and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties and/or
increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the
countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an APO
of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305(a)(3), 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 sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: June 5, 2025.
