that Meridian’s trim kits are excluded
from the scope of the Orders constitutes
a final decision of that court that is not
in harmony with the Department’s Final
Scope Ruling on Refrigerator Trim Kits.
This notice is published in fulfillment
of the publication requirements of
Timken. Accordingly, the Department
will continue the suspension of
liquidation of the trim kits at issue
pending expiration of the period of
appeal or, if appealed, pending a final
and conclusive court decision.
In accordance with the Courts
instructions in Meridian IV, we
determine that Meridian’s trim kits are
excluded from the scope of the Orders
as finished goods kits.
Amended Final Determination
Because there is now a final court
decision with respect to the Final Scope
Ruling on Refrigerator Trim Kits, the
Department amends its final scope
ruling. The Department finds that the
scope of the Orders does not cover the
products addressed in the Final Scope
Ruling on Refrigerator Trim Kits. The
Department will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) that the
cash deposit rate will be zero percent for
the refrigerator/freezer trim kits
imported by Meridian. In the event that
the CIT’s ruling is not appealed, or if
appealed, upheld by the CAFC, the
Department will instruct CBP to
liquidate entries of Meridian’s
Refrigerator Trim Kits without regard to
antidumping and/or countervailing
duties, and to lift suspension of
liquidation of such entries.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 516A(c)(1) of
the Act.
Dated: February 8, 2016.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance.

Scope of the Order
The products covered by the AD order
are all gauges of raw, pretreated, or
primed PET Film, whether extruded or
coextruded. Excluded are metallized
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 PET Film are
currently classifiable in the Harmonized

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case briefs are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of issues raised
and to which we respond in the Issues

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties regarding our Preliminary
Results, we have made changes to SRF’s
and Jindal’s calculations.4 In addition,
we have adjusted Jindal’s reported U.S.
prices to account for changes in its
export subsidies in the final results of
the companion countervailing duty
administrative review.5
Additionally, for companies not
selected for individual review, we have
assigned the rate calculated for Jindal in
the final results of this review, in
accordance with section 735(c)(5) of the
Act.

Final Results of Review
Cash Deposit Requirements
As a result of our review, we
determine the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the
period July 1, 2013, through June 30,
2014.
The following deposit requirements
will be effective for all shipments of
PET Film from India 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 equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review (except, if the rate is de minimis,
i.e., less than 0.5 percent, then the cash
deposit rate will be zero); (2) for
previously reviewed or investigated
companies not listed above, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published in the
completed segment for the most recent
period for that company; (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 in the
completed segment for the most recent
period for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; and (4) if neither the
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm
covered in this or any other completed
segment of this proceeding, then the
cash deposit rate will be the all others
rate for this proceeding, 5.71 percent.
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), the
Department determined, 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. The
Department will issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of the final results of
review. We will instruct CBP to
liquidate entries of merchandise
produced and/or exported by the
aforementioned companies. The
Department will calculate importerspecific assessment rates for Jindal.
Where the respondent reported the
entered value for its sales, the
Department calculates importer-specific
ad valorem assessment rates based on
the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the examined sales to the
total entered value of those same sales.7
However, where the respondent did not
report the entered value for its sales, the
Department calculates importer-specific
per-unit duty assessment rates. We will
instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem
assessment rate as indicated above to all
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR which were produced and/or
exported by the four non-selected
companies Ester Industries Limited,
Garware Polyester Ltd, Polyplex
Corporation Limited, and Vacmet.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we
will instruct CBP to liquidate without
regard to antidumping duties any
entries produced and/or exported by
SRF during the POR.8

Poly Films Limited of India.

Notification to Importers
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 Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
Notifications to Interested Parties
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.
