failure to provide evidence that the
subject merchandise was resold at a
profit. Because the non-bona fide sale
was the only reported sale of subject
merchandise during the POR, and thus
there are no reviewable transactions on
this record, we are preliminarily
rescinding the instant administrative
review. See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
Because much of the factual information
used in our analysis of DMEGC’s sale
involves business proprietary
information, a full discussion of the
basis for our preliminary determination
is set forth in the Memorandum to
Howard Smith, Acting Director, AD/
CVD Operations, Office IV, ‘‘Preliminary
Bona Fide Sales Analysis for Hengdian
Group DMEGC Magnetics Co., Ltd.,’’
dated April 7, 2015, which is on the
record of this proceeding.
Public Comment
Interested parties may submit case
briefs no later than 30 days after the
date of publication of the preliminary
results of review.5 Rebuttals to case
briefs may be filed no later than five
days after the briefs are filed. All
rebuttal comments must be limited to
comments raised in the case briefs.6
Interested parties who wish to request
a hearing must submit a written request
to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement & Compliance, U.S.
Department of Commerce, within 30
days after the date of publication of this
notice.7 Requests should contain the
party’s name, address, and telephone
number, the number of participants, and
a list of the issues to be discussed. Oral
argument presentations will be limited
to issues raised in the briefs. If a request
for a hearing is made, the Department
intends to hold the hearing at the U.S.
Department of Commerce, 14th Street
and Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20230, at a date and

and time of receipt by 5 p.m. ET on the
due date.9
The Department intends to issue the
final results of this NSR, which will
include the results of its analysis of
issues raised in any briefs received, no
later than 90 days after the date these
preliminary results of review are issued
pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
‘‘Act’’).
Assessment Rates
If the Department proceeds to a final
rescission of DMEGC’s NSR, the
assessment rate to which DMEGC’s
shipments will be subject will not be
affected by this review. However, the
Department initiated an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on solar cells from the PRC covering
numerous exporters, including DMEGC,
and the period December 1, 2013
through November 30, 2014, which
encompasses the POR of this NSR.10
Thus, if the Department proceeds to a
final rescission, we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
continue to suspend entries during the
period December 1, 2013 through
November 30, 2014 of subject
merchandise exported by DMEGC until
CBP receives instructions relating to the
administrative review of this order
covering the period December 1, 2013
through November 30, 2014.
If the Department does not proceed to
a final rescission of this new shipper
review, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), we will calculate
importer-specific (or customer)
assessment rates based on the final
results of this review. However,
pursuant to the Department’s refinement
to its assessment practice in NME cases,
for entries that were not reported in the
U.S. sales database submitted by
DMEGC, the Department will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the
PRC-wide rate.11
Cash Deposit Requirements
Effective upon publication of the final
rescission or the final results of this
NSR, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(e), the Department will instruct
CBP to discontinue the option of posting
a bond or security in lieu of a cash

deposit for entries of subject
merchandise by DMEGC. If the
Department proceeds to a final
rescission of this new shipper review,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the PRC-wide rate for DMEGC because
the Department will not have
determined an individual margin of
dumping for DMEGC. If the Department
issues final results for this new shipper
review, the Department will instruct
CBP to collect cash deposits, effective
upon the publication of the final results,
at the rates established therein.
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
Department’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)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: April 7, 2015.

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
4602.90.0000.4 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 5 of the administrative
review, we provided all companies 6
initiated for review the opportunity to
submit either a ‘‘no shipment’’
certification or the separate rate
application or certification. None of the
nine companies initiated for review
submitted ‘‘no shipment’’ certifications.
Furthermore, none of the nine
companies under review submitted
separate rate eligibility documentation.
As a result, we preliminarily found that
these nine companies are part of the

Protection (‘‘CBP’’), the Department added the
USHTS subheading 6305.33.0040 to the ACE CRF
for the antidumping duty order. See ‘‘Memorandum
to the File, from Irene Gorelik, Analyst, re: Addition
of U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (‘‘USHTS’’)

PRC-wide entity.7 The rate previously
established for the PRC-wide entity in
this proceeding is 47.64 percent.8
Final Results of Review
The Department did not receive any
comments from interested parties after
issuing the Preliminary Results. Thus,
because nothing has changed since the
Preliminary Results with respect to the
above-noted nine companies initiated
for review, we continue to find them to
be part of the PRC-wide entity, to which
we are assigning the previously
established rate of 47.64 percent for the
period August 1, 2013, through July 31,
2014.
Assessment
The Department determined, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review, pursuant to
19 CFR 351.212(b). The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of these final results of
review. For those companies subject to
this review found to be part of the PRCwide entity, the Department will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on entries of subject merchandise
at the PRC-wide rate of 47.67 percent.
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 noted above
that have separate rates, the cash
7 See Preliminary Results, 80 FR 4537–4538 and
accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Pursuant to the Department’s change in practice,
the Department no longer considers the non-market
economy entity as an exporter conditionally subject
to administrative reviews. See Antidumping
Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in
Antidumping Duty Proceedings and Conditional
Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME
Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963,
65970 (November 4, 2013). Under this practice, the
non-market economy entity will not be under
review unless a party specifically requests, or the
Department self-initiates, a review of the entity.
Because no party requested a review of the entity,
the entity is not under review and the entity’s rate
is not subject to change.

exporters of subject merchandise which
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will

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 final
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
written 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
We received no comments from interested parties on our Preliminary
Results dated January 28, 2015. 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 \2\ 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; \3\ 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.

\3\ ``Paper suitable for high quality print graphics,'' as used
herein, means paper having an ISO brightness of 82 or higher and a
Sheffield Smoothness of 250 or less. Coated free sheet is an example
of a paper suitable for high quality print graphics.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.\4\ Although HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description
of the scope of the order is dispositive.

\4\ At the request of U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP''), the Department added the USHTS subheading 6305.33.0040 to
the ACE CRF for the antidumping duty order. See ``Memorandum to the

Upon initiation \5\ of the administrative review, we provided all
companies \6\ initiated for review the opportunity to submit either a
``no shipment'' certification or the separate rate application or
certification. None of the nine companies initiated for review
submitted ``no shipment'' certifications. Furthermore, none of the nine
companies under review submitted separate rate eligibility
documentation. As a result, we preliminarily found that these nine
companies are part of the PRC-wide entity.\7\ The rate previously
established for the PRC-wide entity in this proceeding is 47.64
percent.\8\

\5\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation, in Part, 79 FR
58729 (September 30, 2014) (``Initiation Notice'').
\6\ The nine companies are: Changle Baodu Plastic Co., Ltd.,
Shangdong Qikai Plastics Product Co., Ltd., Wenzhou Hotsun Plastics
Co., Ltd., Zibo Aifudi Plastic Packaging Co., Ltd., Zibo Linzi
Luitong Plastic Fabric Co., Ltd., Zibo Linzi Shuaiqiang Plastics
Co., Ltd., Zibo Linzi Qitianli Plastic Fabric Co., Ltd., Zibo Linzi
Worun Packing Product Co., Ltd., and Zibo Qigao Plastic Cement Co.,
Ltd.
\7\ See Preliminary Results, 80 FR 4537-4538 and accompanying
Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Pursuant to the Department's change
in practice, the Department no longer considers the non-market
economy entity as an exporter conditionally subject to
administrative reviews. See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of
Change in Department Practice for Respondent Selection in
Antidumping Duty Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket
Economy Entity in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963,
65970 (November 4, 2013). Under this practice, the non-market
economy entity will not be under review unless a party specifically
requests, or the Department self-initiates, a review of the entity.
Because no party requested a review of the entity, the entity is not
under review and the entity's rate is not subject to change.

the Uruguay Round Agreements Act: Certain New Pneumatic Off-the-Road
Tires; Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Pipe; Laminated Woven
Sacks; and Light-Walled Rectangular Pipe and Tube from the People's
Republic of China, 77 FR 52683, 52688 (August 30, 2012).

Final Results of Review
The Department did not receive any comments from interested parties
after issuing the Preliminary Results. Thus, because nothing has
changed since the Preliminary Results with respect to the above-noted
nine companies initiated for review, we continue to find them to be
part of the PRC-wide entity, to which we are assigning the previously
established rate of 47.64 percent for the period August 1, 2013,
through July 31, 2014.
Assessment
The Department determined, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with
the final results of this review, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b). The
Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these final results of review. For
those companies subject to this review found to be part of the PRC-wide
entity, the Department will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties
on entries of subject merchandise at the PRC-wide rate of 47.67
percent.
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 noted above that
have separate rates, the cash
[[Page 22167]]
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 final 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 written
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: April 14, 2015.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
