The Department conducted this

amended (the Act). Export price is
calculated in accordance with section
772 of the Act. NV is calculated in

methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP)
information and information provided
by SMTC and its affiliate Shinkong
Synthetic Fibers Corp. (SSFC), we
preliminarily determine that SMTC had
no shipments of the subject
merchandise, and, therefore, no
reviewable transactions, during the
POR.

entirety by 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c),
interested parties who wish to request a
hearing, or to participate if one is
requested, must submit a written
request to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, filed
electronically via ACCESS, within 30
days after the date of publication of this
notice.6 Requests should contain: (1)
The party’s name, address, and
telephone number; (2) the number of
participants; and (3) a list of issues to be
discussed. Issues raised in the hearing
will be limited to those raised in the
respective case briefs.
Unless extended, the Department
intends to issue the final results of this
administrative review, including the
results of its analysis of the issues raised
in any written briefs, not later than 120
days after the date of publication of this
notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the
administrative review, the Department
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). We intend to issue
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of the final results of
this review.
If Nan Ya’s weighted-average
dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in
the final results of this review, we will
calculate importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for the
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of the sales in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). We will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review when the importerspecific assessment rate calculated in
the final results of this review is above
de minimis. Where the respondent’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis, or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
The final results of this review shall be
the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results
of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
6 See
19 CFR 351.310(c).
VerDate Sep<11>2014

May 6, 2003. This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Nan Ya for
which it did not know that its
merchandise was destined for the
United States. Furthermore, this
clarification applies to all POR entries
entered under the case number for
SMTC if we continue to make a final
determination of no shipments of
subject merchandise because it certified
that it made no POR shipments of
subject merchandise for which it had
knowledge of the U.S. destination. In
such instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate of 2.40 percent 7 if there is no
rate for the intermediary company(ies)
involved in the transaction.8
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective for all shipments of
PET Film from Taiwan entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided for
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for the company
under review will be the rate
established in the final results of this
review (except, if the rate is zero or de
minimis, no cash deposit will be
required); (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above,
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 less-thanfair-value 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 is 2.40 percent.9 These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing, or to participate if one is requested, must submit a
written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, filed electronically via ACCESS, within 30 days after the

participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised
in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case
briefs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unless extended, the Department intends to issue the final results
of this administrative review, including the results of its analysis of
the issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120 days after
the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the administrative review, the Department shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of the final results of this review.
If Nan Ya's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this
review, we will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the
basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the
importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review
when the importer-specific assessment rate calculated in the final
results of this review is above de minimis. Where the respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-
specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment
of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final
results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties,
where applicable.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by Nan Ya for which it did not know
that its merchandise was destined for the United States. Furthermore,
this clarification applies to all POR entries entered under the case
number for SMTC if we continue to make a final determination of no
shipments of subject merchandise because it certified that it made no
POR shipments of subject merchandise for which it had knowledge of the
U.S. destination. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate of 2.40 percent \7\ if there
is no rate for the intermediary company(ies) involved in the
transaction.\8\

for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final
results of this administrative review, as provided for by section

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
