SUMMARY: On June 6, 2017, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
stilbenic optical brightening agents
(stilbenic OBAs) from Taiwan. The
period of review (POR) is May 1, 2015,
through April 30, 2016. For the final
results of this review, we continue to
find that subject merchandise has not
been sold in the United States by Teh
Fong Ming International Co., Ltd. (TFM)
at prices below normal value during the
POR.
DATES: Effective September 13, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On June 6, 2017, the Department
published the Preliminary Results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on stilbenic
OBAs from Taiwan.1 The administrative
review covers one producer/exporter of
the subject merchandise, TFM. The
Department gave interested parties an
opportunity to comment on the

Preliminary Results. We received no
comments. Hence, these final results are
unchanged from the Preliminary
Results.
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The stilbenic OBAs covered by this
order are all forms (whether free acid or
salt) of compounds known as
triazinylaminostilbenes (i.e., all
derivatives of 4,4′-bis [1,3,5- triazin-2yl]‘‘ 2 amino-2,2′-stilbenedisulfonic
acid), except for compounds listed in
the following paragraph. The stilbenic
OBAs covered by this order include
final stilbenic OBA products, as well as
intermediate products that are
themselves triazinylaminostilbenes
produced during the synthesis of
stilbenic OBA products.
Excluded from this order are all forms
of 4,4′-bis[4-anilino-6-morpholino-1,3,5triazin-2-yl] 3 amino-2,2′stilbenedisulfonic acid,
C40H40N12O8S2 (‘‘Fluorescent
Brightener 71’’). This order covers the
above-described compounds in any state
(including but not limited to powder,
slurry, or solution), of any
concentrations of active stilbenic OBA
ingredient, as well as any compositions
regardless of additives (i.e., mixtures or
blends, whether of stilbenic OBAs with
each other, or of stilbenic OBAs with
additives that are not stilbenic OBAs),
and in any type of packaging.
These stilbenic OBAs are classifiable
under subheading 3204.20.8000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS), but they may
also enter under subheadings
2933.69.6050, 2921.59.4000 and
2921.59.8090. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
is dispositive.
Final Results of the Administrative
Review
We determine that a weighted-average
dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists
for TFM for the period of August 1,
2015, through July 31, 2016.
Assessment
In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, 19 CFR

Modification,4 the Department will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to liquidate all
appropriate entries for TFM without
regard to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by TFM for
which it did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company involved in the transaction.
We intend to issue instructions to CBP
15 days after publication of the final
results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results
of administrative review for all
shipments of stilbenic OBAs from
Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the date of publication as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The
cash deposit rate for TFM will be 0.00
percent, the weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of
this administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this
administrative review but covered in a
prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation, but
the producer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of the
subject merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 6.19
percent, the all-others rate established
in the investigation.5
These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.

liquidation of the relevant entries

comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
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 violation subject to sanction.
We are issuing and publishing these
results of an administrative review in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).
