Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May
6, 2003).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following 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withdrawn from warehouse, for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 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 JBL Canada will be
the rate established in the final results
of this review, except if the rate is less
than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash
deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
previously reviewed or investigated
companies not participating in this
review, 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
original 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) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 23.21
percent, the all-others rate established
in the original investigation.12 These
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary 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
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.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Sheet and Strip (PET film) from Brazil,
the People’s Republic of China (PRC),

Brazil. The Department determined that

The sunset reviews on the antidumping
duty orders on PET film from Brazil, the
PRC and the UAE were initiated by the
Department on October 1, 2013,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2
On October 18, 2013, the Department
issued a tolling memorandum extending
all deadlines by 16 days for the duration
of the government shutdown.3
On October 31, 2013, The Department
received a notice of intent to participate
from DuPont Teijin Films, Mitsubishi
Polyester Film, Inc., and SKC, Inc.
(collectively, the petitioners), within the
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i). Petitioners are
manufacturers of a domestic like
product in the United States and,
accordingly, are domestic interested
parties pursuant to section 771(9)(C) of
the Act.
On November 18, 2013, the
Department received an adequate
substantive response to the notice of
initiation from the domestic interested
parties within the 30-day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).
The Department did not receive any
responses from the respondent
interested parties, i.e., PET Film
producers and exporters from PRC,
UAE, and Brazil. On the basis of the
notice of intent to participate and
adequate substantive response filed by
the petitioners and the inadequate
response from any respondent
interested party, the Department
decided to conduct expedited sunset
reviews of these orders pursuant to
section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C).
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders
are all gauges of raw, pretreated or
primed PET film, whether extruded or
coextruded. 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 of 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. Imports of PET film were
classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff
Orders and Amended Final Determination of Sales
at Less Than Fair Value for the United Arab
Emirates, 73 FR 66595 (November 10, 2008).

Analysis of Comments Received
The issues discussed in the Decision
Memorandum are the likelihood of
continuation or recurrence of dumping,
and the magnitude of the margins of
dumping likely to prevail if these orders
were revoked. The analysis addresses
the impact of the Final Modification for
Reviews 4 on these reviews. Parties can

raised in this review and the
corresponding recommendations in this

Final Results of Review
Pursuant to sections 752(c)(1) and (3)
of the Act, we determine that revocation
of the antidumping orders of PET film
from Brazil, the PRC and UAE would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping. Further, we
determine that the magnitude of the
margins of dumping likely to prevail are
as follows:
