woven sacks (‘‘sacks’’) from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). The period
of review (‘‘POR’’) is August 1, 2012,
through July 31, 2013. We gave
interested parties an opportunity to
comment on the Preliminary Results,
but we received none. The final

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
We received no comments from
interested parties on our Preliminary
Results which published on February
27, 2014. The Department conducted
this administrative review in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is laminated woven sacks. Laminated
woven sacks are bags or sacks consisting
of one or more plies of fabric consisting
of woven polypropylene strip and/or
woven polyethylene strip, regardless of
the width of the strip; with or without
an extrusion coating of polypropylene
and/or polyethylene on one or both
sides of the fabric; laminated by any
method either to an exterior ply of
plastic film such as biaxially-oriented
polypropylene (‘‘BOPP’’) or to an
exterior ply of paper that is suitable for
high quality print graphics; 2 printed
with three colors or more in register;
with or without lining; whether or not
closed on one end; whether or not in
roll form (including sheets, lay-flat

tubing, and sleeves); with or without
handles; with or without special closing
features; not exceeding one kilogram in
weight. Laminated woven sacks are
typically used for retail packaging of
consumer goods such as pet foods and
bird seed.
Effective July 1, 2007, laminated
woven sacks are classifiable under
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings
6305.33.0050 and 6305.33.0080.
Laminated woven sacks were previously
classifiable under HTSUS subheading
6305.33.0020. If entered with plastic
coating on both sides of the fabric
consisting of woven polypropylene strip
and/or woven polyethylene strip,
laminated woven sacks may be
classifiable under HTSUS subheadings
3923.21.0080, 3923.21.0095, and
3923.29.0000. If entered not closed on
one end or in roll form (including
sheets, lay-flat tubing, and sleeves),
laminated woven sacks may be
classifiable under other HTSUS
subheadings including 3917.39.0050,
3921.90.1100, 3921.90.1500, and
5903.90.2500. If the polypropylene
strips and/or polyethylene strips making
up the fabric measure more than 5
millimeters in width, laminated woven
sacks may be classifiable under other
HTSUS subheadings including
4601.99.0500, 4601.99.9000, and
4602.90.0000. Although HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
order is dispositive.

Preliminary Results
Upon initiation of the administrative
review, we provided the opportunity for
all companies upon which the review
was initiated to submit either a ‘‘no
shipment’’ certification or the separate
rate application or certification.3 Of the
nine companies under review, three
companies had a separate rate from a
prior segment 4 but did not file a ‘‘no
shipment’’ certification or a separate
rate certification on the record of this
review.5 Consequently, these three
3 See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and
Request for Revocation, in Part, 78 FR 60834, 60836
(October 2, 2013).
4 These three companies are: Cangnan Color Make
the Bag, Jiangsu Hotsun Plastics, and Polywell
Industrial Co. We note that these three companies
received their separate rates in the underlying
investigation and have not been under review since
the investigation. See Laminated Woven Sacks from
the People’s Republic of China: Final Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Partial
Affirmative Determination of Critical
Circumstances, 73 FR 35646, 35648 (June 24, 2008).
5 The Department notes that a company’s
eligibility for a separate rate necessarily requires
reviewable entries from that company during the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:36 Jun 13, 2014
Jkt 232001
companies have not provided any
documentation supporting their
continued eligibility for a separate rate.
Thus, we now consider them to be part
of the PRC-wide entity, pursuant to our
practice.6 The other six companies
under review in this segment did not
have a separate rate from a prior
segment of the proceeding. Because
these companies neither established
their eligibility for a separate rate
through a separate rate application nor
filed ‘‘no shipment’’ certifications, the
Department will continue to treat these
six companies as part of the PRC-wide
entity.7
PRC-Wide Entity Rate
In the Preliminary Results, we stated
that the Department conducted a
proceeding pursuant to section 129 of
the Uruguay Round Agreements Act
(‘‘URAA’’) regarding the antidumping
and countervailing duty investigations
of laminated woven sacks.8 Based on
relevant period. See Certain Frozen Warmwater
Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam:

Review, 2011–2012, 78 FR 56211 (September 12,
2013) and accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum at Comment 11, where the
Department stated that ‘‘a company that did not
export subject merchandise to the United States
during the relevant period is likewise not eligible
for a separate rate, because it has no reviewable
POR entries and, thus, is not subject to the review
(including the determination of a separate rate
status);’’ see also Policy Bulletin 5.1: Separate-Rates

announced a refinement to its
assessment practice in non-market
economy (‘‘NME’’) cases.12 Pursuant to
this refinement in practice, for entries
that were not reported in the U.S. sales
databases submitted by companies
individually examined during this
review, the Department will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the

publication date, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
previously investigated or reviewed PRC
and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (2) for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC-wide rate of 47.64 percent;
and (3) for all non-PRC exporters of
subject merchandise which have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the
PRC exporters that supplied that nonPRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notifications
This notice 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
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to the administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
notification of the 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.
We are issuing and publishing these
results and this notice in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the
Act.

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Mission Description
The United States Department of
Commerce, International Trade
Administration, is organizing an
education mission to El Salvador and
Honduras with an optional stop to
Nicaragua. Department of Commerce is
partnering with the Department of
State’s EducationUSA Advising Centers.
This trade mission is designed to be led
by a senior Department of Commerce
official and the emphasis will be on U.S.
higher education, focusing on, in order
of importance, intensive English
language programs, community colleges,
summer, undergraduate and graduate
programs. Summer programs seeking to
participate should be appropriately
accredited by an accreditation body
recognized by the U.S. Department of
Education. Intensive English language
programs seeking to participate should
be accredited by the Commission on
English Language Programs
Accreditation (CEA) or appropriately
accredited by an accreditation body
recognized by the U.S. Department of
Education. Community colleges,
undergraduate and graduate programs
seeking to participate should be
accredited by a recognized accreditation
body listed in Council for Higher
Education Accreditation (CHEA) or
Accrediting Council for Education and
Training (ACCET), in the Association of
Specialized and Professional
Accreditors (ASPA), or any accrediting
body recognized by the U.S. Department
of Education.
This mission will seek to connect U.S.
higher education institutions to
potential students and university/
institution partners in Central America.
The mission will include student fairs
organized by EducationUSA, embassy
briefings, site visits, and networking
events. San Salvador, Santa Ana,
Tegucigalpa, and Managua, are four of
the top cities for recruiting students

from Central America to the United
States. Participating in the Education
Mission, rather than traveling to these
markets independently, will enhance
the participants ability to secure
appropriate meetings, especially in light
of the high level engagement and
support of U.S. education by the U.S.
ambassadors in El Salvador and
Honduras.
Commercial Setting
There are several types of
opportunities in Central America for
U.S. English as a Second Language
programs, summer programs,
community colleges, and U.S.
universities offering undergraduate as
well as graduate programs.
In March 2011, President Obama
launched ‘‘100,000 Strong in the
Americas’’ to increase educational
exchanges in the Western Hemisphere.
Enhancing education is a key driver in
improving socioeconomic indicators in
the region. ‘‘100,000 Strong’’ bridges the
critical relationship between broader
educational opportunity and greater
regional prosperity. Expanding study
abroad opportunities for students, our
future leaders and innovators,
strengthens bi-national relations and
better prepares young people for the
21st century global workforce. The goal
of this initiative is to have 100,000
students moving in each direction
annually by 2020. Currently, 45,000
U.S. students study in Latin America
and the Caribbean and 68,000 Latin
American and Caribbean students study
in the United States each year. The
initiative seeks to more than double
these numbers in less than ten years.1
The Western Hemisphere represents a
thriving market of nearly one billion
people. Approximately 40 percent of
U.S. exports go to our Latin American
and Caribbean neighbors, and Latin
American exports to the United States
are even higher. The middle class in
Latin America has grown by 50 million
in the last decade alone. President
Obama believes that the Americas can
become the most competitive region in
the world. To accomplish this goal, we
need to develop the skills to reach
across borders to new markets, research,
and opportunities.
The mission supports the
Administration’s Look South initiative,
which encourages companies to explore
opportunities in the United States’ 11
free trade agreement partner countries
in Latin America. Education services are
in high demand throughout these

three companies had a separate rate from a prior segment \4\ but did
not file a ``no shipment'' certification or a separate rate
certification on the record of this review.\5\ Consequently, these
three companies have not provided any documentation supporting their
continued eligibility for a separate rate. Thus, we now consider them
to be part of the PRC-wide entity, pursuant to our practice.\6\ The
other six companies under review in this segment did not have a
separate rate from a prior segment of the proceeding. Because these
companies neither established their eligibility for a separate rate
through a separate rate application nor filed ``no shipment''
certifications, the Department will continue to treat these six
companies as part of the PRC-wide entity.\7\

these three companies received their separate rates in the
underlying investigation and have not been under review since the
investigation. See Laminated Woven Sacks from the People's Republic

separate rate necessarily requires reviewable entries from that
company during the relevant period. See Certain Frozen Warmwater

at Comment 11, where the Department stated that ``a company that did
not export subject merchandise to the United States during the
relevant period is likewise not eligible for a separate rate,
because it has no reviewable POR entries and, thus, is not subject
to the review (including the determination of a separate rate
status);'' see also Policy Bulletin 5.1: Separate-Rates Practice and

PRC-Wide Entity Rate
In the Preliminary Results, we stated that the Department conducted
a proceeding pursuant to section 129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements
Act (``URAA'') regarding the antidumping and countervailing duty
investigations of laminated woven sacks.\8\ Based on certain
adjustments pursuant to section 777A(f) of the Act, the Department
revised the PRC-wide entity rate from 91.73 percent, the only rate ever
determined for the PRC-wide entity in this proceeding \9\ to 47.64
percent.\10\ Consequently, in these final results, we are assigning a
rate of 47.64 percent, as revised in the Section 129 Implementation, to
the PRC-wide entity, which includes all nine companies initiated for
review.

Final Results of Review
The Department determines that the following dumping margin exists
for the period August 1, 2012, through July 31, 2013:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margin
Exporter (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRC-Wide Entity \11\.................................... 47.64
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ The PRC-Wide Entity includes: Cangnan Color Make the Bag;
Han Shing Corporation Limited; Jiangsu Hotsun Plastics; Ningbo Yong
Feng Packaging Co., Ltd.; Polywell Industrial Co.; Shandong Qilu
Plastic Fabric Group, Ltd.; Shandong Shouguang Jianyuanchun Co.;
Shandong Youlian Subian Co. Ltd.; and Zibo Aifudi Plastic Packaging
Co., Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department intends
to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of the final results of review. The Department recently
announced a refinement to its assessment practice in non-market economy
(``NME'') cases.\12\ Pursuant to this refinement in practice, for
entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales databases submitted by
companies individually examined during this review, the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the NME-wide rate. In
addition, if the Department determines that an exporter under review
had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that
entered under that exporter's case number (i.e., at that
[[Page 34287]]
exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the NME-wide rate.\13\

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 the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (2) for
all PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to
be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-
wide rate of 47.64 percent; and (3) for all non-PRC exporters of
subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporters that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
Notifications
This notice 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 Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to the
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely notification of the
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.
We are issuing and publishing these results and this notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: June 10, 2014.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
