SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Postponement of Preliminary
Determinations
On July 2, 2012, the Department of
Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’)
published a notice of initiation of
antidumping duty investigations of
xanthan gum from Austria and the
People’s Republic of China.1 The notice
of initiation stated that the Department,
in accordance with section 733(b)(1)(A)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the ‘‘Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(1),
would issue its preliminary
determinations for these investigations,
unless postponed, no later than 140
days after the date of the initiation. The
preliminary determinations of these
antidumping duty investigations are
currently due no later than November
12, 2012.
On October 12, 2012, CP Kelco U.S.
(‘‘Petitioner’’), pursuant to 19 CFR
351.205(b)(2) and (e), made a timely
request for postponement of the

preliminary determinations in these
investigations.2 Petitioner requested a
50-day postponement of the preliminary
determinations in order to provide the
Department with sufficient time to
review the questionnaire responses and
issue appropriate requests for
clarification and additional information.
For the reasons stated above and
because there are no compelling reasons
to deny the request, the Department, in
accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of
the Act, is postponing the deadline for
the preliminary determinations to no
later than 190 days after the date on
which the Department initiated these
investigations. Therefore, the new

adequate substantive response filed on
behalf of the domestic interested parties,
as well as a lack of response from

Department determined to conduct an
expedited sunset review of the Order,
pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2).
On July 23, 2012, the Department
reconsidered its determination to
conduct an expedited sunset review of
the Order and determined instead to
conduct a full sunset review of the
Order on folding gift boxes from the
PRC.2 As a result of this sunset review,
the Department preliminarily finds that
revocation of the Order on folding gift
boxes from the PRC would be likely to
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping at the levels indicated in the
‘‘Preliminary Results of Review’’ section
of this notice.

Background
On April 2, 2012, the Department
initiated the second sunset review of the
Order on folding gift boxes from the
PRC, pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Act.3 On May 2, 2012, pursuant to 19
CFR 351.218(d)(3), The Folding Gift
Boxes Fair Trade Coalition (‘‘Domestic
Parties’’),4 filed a timely and adequate
substantive response within 30 days
after the date of publication of the
initiation notice.5 The Department did
not receive a substantive response from
any respondent interested party.
However, because the issues that the
Department must analyze pursuant to
the Final Modification for Reviews 6 are
complex, we determined that this sunset
review is extraordinarily complicated,

Antidumping Duty Order on Folding Gift Boxes

pursuant to section 75l(c)(5)(C) of the
Act. As a result, the Department is
conducting a full sunset review of the
Order on folding gift boxes from the
PRC.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
certain folding gift boxes. Folding gift
boxes are a type of folding or knockdown carton manufactured from paper
or paperboard. Folding gift boxes are
produced from a variety of recycled and
virgin paper or paperboard materials,
including, but not limited to, claycoated paper or paperboard and kraft
(bleached or unbleached) paper or
paperboard. The scope of the order
excludes gift boxes manufactured from
paper or paperboard of a thickness of
more than 0.8 millimeters, corrugated
paperboard, or paper mache. The scope
also excludes those gift boxes for which
no side of the box, when assembled, is
at least nine inches in length.
Folding gift boxes included in the
scope are typically decorated with a
holiday motif using various processes,
including printing, embossing,
debossing, and foil stamping, but may
also be plain white or printed with a
single color. The subject merchandise
includes folding gift boxes, with or
without handles, whether finished or
unfinished, and whether in one-piece or
multi-piece configuration. One-piece
gift boxes are die-cut or otherwise
formed so that the top, bottom, and
sides form a single, contiguous unit.
Two-piece gift boxes are those with a
folded bottom and a folded top as
separate pieces. Folding gift boxes are
generally packaged in shrink-wrap,
cellophane, or other packaging
materials, in single or multi-box packs
for sale to the retail customer. The scope
excludes folding gift boxes that have a
retailer’s name, logo, trademark or
similar company information printed
prominently on the box’s top exterior
(such folding gift boxes are often known
as ‘‘not-for-resale’’ gift boxes or ‘‘giveaway’’ gift boxes and may be provided
by department and specialty stores at no
charge to their retail customers). The
scope of the order also excludes folding
gift boxes where both the outside of the
box is a single color and the box is not
packaged in shrink-wrap, cellophane,
other resin-based packaging films, or
paperboard.
Imports of the subject merchandise
are classified under Harmonized Tariff
Schedules of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings 4819.20.0040
and 4819.50.4060. These subheadings
also cover products that are outside the
scope of the order. Furthermore,
although the HTSUS subheadings are

Analysis of Comments Received
A complete discussion of all issues
raised in this sunset review is addressed
in the accompanying Issues and
Decision Memorandum.7 The issues
discussed in the accompanying

to prevail if the Order is revoked. Parties

issues raised in the review and the
corresponding recommendations in this
public memorandum which is on file

The products covered by the order are certain folding gift boxes.
Folding gift boxes are a type of folding or knock-down carton
manufactured from paper or paperboard. Folding gift boxes are produced
from a variety of recycled and virgin paper or paperboard materials,
including, but not limited to, clay-coated paper or paperboard and
kraft (bleached or unbleached) paper or paperboard. The scope of the
order excludes gift boxes manufactured from paper or paperboard of a

Folding gift boxes included in the scope are typically decorated

gift boxes, with or without handles, whether finished or unfinished,

boxes are die-cut or otherwise formed so that the top, bottom, and

with a folded bottom and a folded top as separate pieces. Folding gift
boxes are generally packaged in shrink-wrap, cellophane, or other
packaging materials, in single or multi-box packs for sale to the
retail customer. The scope excludes folding gift boxes that have a

prominently on the box's top exterior (such folding gift boxes are
often known as ``not-for-resale'' gift boxes or ``give-away'' gift
boxes and may be provided by department and specialty stores at no
charge to their retail customers). The scope of the order also excludes
folding gift boxes where both the outside of the box is a single color
and the box is not packaged in shrink-wrap, cellophane, other resin-
based packaging films, or paperboard.
Imports of the subject merchandise are classified under Harmonized
