Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our analysis of the comments received, we did not make any 
adjustments to our margin calculations for Ester. We revised the 
adjustment to U.S. price in our margin calculations for Ester's export 
subsidy rate calculated for the final results of review in the 
concurrent countervailing duty administrative review, causing a change 
in the antidumping duty margin calculated for these final results.

weighted-average margins exist for the period of July 1, 2009, through 
June 30, 2010:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries. We will instruct CBP to liquidate entries of 
merchandise produced and/or exported by Ester. The Department intends 
to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of 
publication of the final results of review. For assessment purposes, 
where the respondent reported the entered value for its sales, we 
calculated importer-specific (or customer-specific) ad valorem 
assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of the dumping 
duties calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of 
those same sales. See 19 CFR 351.212(b). However, where the respondent 
did not report the entered value for its sales, we will calculate 
importer-specific (or customer-specific) per unit duty assessment 
rates. We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries covered by this review if any per unit duty 
assessment rate calculated in the final results of this review is above 
de minimis (i.e., at or above 0.50 percent). Pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.106(c)(2), we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to 
antidumping duties any entries for which the assessment rate is zero or 
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent). See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of PET Film from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final 
results of this administrative review, as provided for by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act): (1) The 
cash deposit rate for the company under review will be the rate 
established in the final results of this review (except, if the rate is 
zero or de minimis, i.e., less than 0.50 percent, no cash deposit will 
be required); (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not 
listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter 
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-
fair-value 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; and, (4) if neither the exporter nor 
the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any previous review, the 
cash deposit rate will be the all others rate for this proceeding, 5.71 
percent. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice is the only reminder to parties subject to the 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under the APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.

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 Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    We are issuing and publishing these final results and this notice 
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: December 5, 2011.
