Department will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. For Dongkuk
Steel Mill Co., Ltd., which we selected
for individual examination, we will
calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for the importer’s
examined sales and the total entered
value of the sales in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1).3
For entries of subject merchandise
during the period of review produced by
Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd., for which
it did not know its merchandise was
destined for the United States, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction. For a full
discussion, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (May 2003
Clarification).
Consistent with the May 2003
Clarification, for Daewoo International
Corp., Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd., GS Global
Corp., Hyosung Corporation, and
Hyundai Steel Co., which had no
reviewable entries of subject
merchandise to the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate any
applicable entries of subject
merchandise at the all-others rate.
For the companies which were not
selected for individual examination,
Edgen Murray Corporation, Kyoungil
Co., Ltd., Samsung C&T Corp., Samwoo
EMC Co., Ltd., and TCC Steel Corp., we
will instruct CBP to apply the rates
listed above to all entries of subject
merchandise produced and/or exported
by those firms.
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the

deposit rate for the companies listed
above will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margins determined in
the final results of this administrative
review; (2) for merchandise exported by
manufacturers or exporters not covered
in this review but covered in a prior
segment of the proceeding, 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; (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters will continue to be 0.98
percent,4 the all-others rate established
in the less-than-fair-value investigation,
adjusted for the export-subsidy rate in
the companion countervailing duty
investigation. These cash 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 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.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to 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.
These final results of administrative
review are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUMMARY: On June 13, 2014, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on
polyester staple fiber (PSF) from
Taiwan.1 For these final results, we

sold subject merchandise at less than
normal value, and that Nan Ya Plastics
Corporation (Nan Ya) had no shipments
during the period of review (POR).

2013. We invited interested parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results.
We received no comments.
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 product covered by the order is
PSF. PSF is defined as synthetic staple
fibers, not carded, combed or otherwise
processed for spinning, of polyesters
measuring 3.3 decitex (3 denier,
inclusive) or more in diameter. This
merchandise is cut to lengths varying
from one inch (25 mm) to five inches
(127 mm). The merchandise subject to
the order may be coated, usually with a
silicon or other finish, or not coated.
PSF is generally used as stuffing in
sleeping bags, mattresses, ski jackets,
comforters, cushions, pillows, and
furniture. Merchandise of less than 3.3
decitex (less than 3 denier) currently
classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
at subheading 5503.20.00.20 is
specifically excluded from the order.
Also specifically excluded from the
order are PSF of 10 to 18 denier that are
cut to lengths of 6 to 8 inches (fibers
used in the manufacture of carpeting).
In addition, low-melt PSF is excluded
from the order. Low-melt PSF is defined
as a bi-component fiber with an outer
sheath that melts at a significantly lower
temperature than its inner core.
The merchandise subject to the order
is currently classifiable in the HTSUS at
subheadings 5503.20.00.40,
5503.20.00.45, 5503.20.00.60, and
5503.20.00.65. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
subject to the order is dispositive.
Final Determination of No Shipments
For the final results of this review, we
determine that Nan Ya had no
shipments during the POR.

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a

of antidumping duties prior to

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.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under 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 terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties

will be effective upon publication of the
notice of final results of administrative
review for all shipments of PSF from
Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the date of publication as provided by
section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for FENC will be 0.00
percent, the weighted average dumping
margin established in the final results of
this administrative review; (2) for Nan
Ya and previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for
the most recently completed segment of
this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not
a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation but
