The period of review (POR) is

Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
are all gauges of raw, pre-treated, or
primed PET film, whether extruded or
co-extruded. Excluded are metallized
films and other finished films that have
had at least one of their surfaces
modified by the application of a
performance-enhancing resinous or
inorganic layer more than 0.00001
inches thick. Also excluded is roller
transport cleaning film which has at
least one of its surfaces modified by
application of 0.5 micrometers of SBR
latex. Tracing and drafting film is also
excluded. PET film is classifiable under
subheading 3920.62.00.90 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). While HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope of these
orders is dispositive.
Final Results of Review
The Department has determined that
the following antidumping duty margin
exists for the period November 1, 2009,

Producer/exporter
Margin
(percent)
Terphane, Inc. ..........................

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 PET film from Brazil entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided by
section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act): (1) The cash
deposit rate for Terphane will be the
rate established in the final results of
this review; (2) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review or the LTFV
investigation but the manufacturer is,
the cash-deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent period
for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; (3) if neither the exporter
nor the manufacturer has its own rate,
the cash-deposit rate will be 28.72
percent, the all-others rate established
in the Notice of Final Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value:
Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet,
and Strip from Brazil, 73 FR 55035,
55036 (September 24, 2008). 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 duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR.
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.
Assessment Rates
Notification to Interested Parties
The Department shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries. Because we
are relying on total adverse facts
available to establish the dumping
margin for Terphane, we will instruct
CBP to apply a dumping margin of 44.36
percent on all entries of PET film from
Brazil that were produced and/or
exported by Terphane and entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption during the POR. The
Department intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions for Terphane to
CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of these final results of
review.
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 in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return/
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.
This administrative review and notice
are issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act.
