SUMMARY: On July 29, 2015, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty (AD) order on
polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet,
and strip (PET Film) from Taiwan in
accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).1 This review covers Nan Ya
Plastics Corporation (Nan Ya) and
Shinkong Materials Technology
Corporation (SMTC). We invited
interested parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results. We received no
comments or requests for a hearing.
Therefore, for the final results, we
continue to find that sales of subject
merchandise by Nan Ya were not made
at less than normal value during the
period of review (POR). We continue to
find that SMTC had no shipments
during the POR.

Background
On July 29, 2015, the Department
published the Preliminary Results. The
POR is July 1, 2013, through June 30,
2014. We invited interested parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results.
We received no comments or requests
for a hearing from any party. The
Department conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a)(2) of the Act.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the
antidumping duty order are all gauges of
raw, pretreated, or primed PET film,
whether extruded or coextruded.
Excluded are metalized 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. Imports of
polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet,
and strip are currently classifiable in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) under item
number 3920.62.00.90. HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes. The
written description of the scope of the
antidumping duty order is dispositive.
Final Results of Review
As noted above, the Department
received no comments concerning the
Preliminary Results. As there are no
changes from, or comments upon, the
Preliminary Results, the Department
finds that there is no reason to modify
its analysis and calculations. Thus, we
continue to find that sales of subject
merchandise by Nan Ya were not made
at less than normal value during the
POR. We continue to find that SMTC
had no shipments during the POR.
Accordingly, no decision memorandum
accompanies this Federal Register
notice. For further details of the issues
addressed in this proceeding, see the
Preliminary Results and the
accompanying Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.2 The final weighted2 See

Final 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 Corporation (SSFC), we
determine that SMTC had no shipments
of the subject merchandise, and,
therefore, no reviewable transactions,
during the POR. For a full discussion of
this determination, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries in this review, in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). The
Department intends to issue assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of these final results of
review. Because we have calculated a
zero margin for Nan Ya in the final
results of this review, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212 we will instruct
CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003 in its Assessment Policy
Notice.3 This clarification applies to
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced and exported by Nan
Ya for which it did not know that the
merchandise was destined for the
United States. Furthermore, this
clarification applies to all POR entries
entered under the case number for
SMTC 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, consistent with the
Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, dated July 22, 2015 (Preliminary
Decision Memorandum), which can be accessed
directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/

of the subject merchandise entered, or

date, as provided for by section

The Department will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). The
Department intends to issue assessment instructions directly to CBP 15

have calculated a zero margin for Nan Ya in the final results of this

applies to entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced and
