The merchandise subject to this
antidumping duty order is polyethylene
retail carrier bags (PRCBs), which also
may be referred to as t-shirt sacks,
merchandise bags, grocery bags, or
checkout bags. The subject merchandise
is defined as non-sealable sacks and
bags with handles (including
drawstrings), without zippers or integral
extruded closures, with or without
gussets, with or without printing, of
polyethylene film having a thickness no
greater than 0.035 inch (0.889 mm) and
no less than 0.00035 inch (0.00889 mm),
and with no length or width shorter
than 6 inches (15.24 cm) or longer than
40 inches (101.6 cm). The depth of the
bag may be shorter than 6 inches (15.24
cm) but not longer than 40 inches (101.6
cm).
PRCBs are typically provided without
any consumer packaging and free of
charge by retail establishments, e.g.,
grocery, drug, convenience, department,
specialty retail, discount stores, and
restaurants to their customers to
package and carry their purchased
products. The scope of this antidumping
duty order excludes (1) PRCBs that are
not printed with logos or store names
and that are closeable with drawstrings
made of polyethylene film and (2)
PRCBs that are packed in consumer
packaging with printing that refers to
specific end-uses other than packaging
and carrying merchandise from retail
establishments, e.g., garbage bags, lawn
bags, trash-can liners.
Imports of merchandise included
within the scope of this antidumping
duty order are currently classifiable
under statistical category 3923.21.0085
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS). This
subheading may also cover products
that are outside the scope of this
antidumping duty order. Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this
antidumping duty order is dispositive.

SUMMARY: On April 6, 2017, the
Department of Commerce (Department)
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of the administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on polyethylene retail carrier bags from
Malaysia covering the period August 1,
2015 through July 31, 2016. The review
covers one producer/exporter of subject
merchandise, Euro SME Sdn Bhd (Euro
SME). The Department preliminarily
found that Euro SME did not have
reviewable entries during the period of
review (POR). The Department gave
interested parties an opportunity to
comment on the Preliminary Results,
but we received no comments. Hence,
the final results are unchanged from the
Preliminary Results, and we continue to
find that Euro SME did not have
reviewable entries during the POR.
DATES: Effective May 23, 2017.

the Preliminary Results,2 but received

Final Determination of No Shipments
As noted above, the Department
received no comments from interested
parties concerning the Preliminary
Results on the record of this segment of
the proceeding. As there are no changes
from, or comments on, the Preliminary
Results, the Department finds that there
is no reason to modify its analysis.
Thus, we continue to find that Euro
SME had no reviewable transactions

during the POR.3 Accordingly, no
decision memorandum accompanies
this Federal Register notice. For further
details of the issues addressed in this
proceeding, see the Preliminary

Assessment Rates
The Department determined, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise, where applicable, in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). For
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR for which SME did not know
its merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate un-reviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company involved in the
transaction.5 The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the date of publication of the
final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of this notice of final
results of the administrative review, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) For Euro SME, which claimed
no shipments, the cash deposit rate will
remain unchanged from the rate
assigned to Euro SME in the most
recently completed review of the
company; (2) for previously investigated
or reviewed 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 a firm not 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. These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
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
