(11) narrow woven ribbon that is (a)

affixed (including by tying) to nonsubject merchandise as a working

than eight inches, the aggregate amount
of narrow woven ribbon(s) included in
the kit does not exceed 48 linear inches,
none of the narrow woven ribbon(s)

narrow woven ribbon(s) is only one of
multiple items included in the kit.
The merchandise subject to this order

5810.92.9080; 5903.90.3090; and
6307.90.9889. The HTSUS statistical
categories and subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes;
however, the written description of the
merchandise covered by this order is
dispositive.
Final Determination of No Shipments
As noted in the Preliminary Results,
we preliminarily determined that Fujian
Roungshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi
He had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR. Also in
the Preliminary Results, the Department
stated that, consistent with its practice,
it would complete the review with
respect to these companies and issue
appropriate instructions to U.S.

16OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 198 / Monday, October 16, 2017 / Notices
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
based on the final results.4
After issuing the Preliminary Results,
the Department received no comments
from interested parties, and has not
received any information that would
cause it to alter its preliminary
determination. Therefore, because the
record indicates that these companies
did not export subject merchandise to
the United States, the Department
continues to find that Fujian Roungshu,
Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi He had no
shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR. As the Department
received no comments for consideration
in these final results, the Department
has not prepared an Issues and Decision
Memorandum for this review.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), the
Department has determined, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. The
Department intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to CBP
15 days after publication of the final
results of this administrative review.
Additionally, because the Department
determined that Fujian Roungshu,
Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi He had no
shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR, any suspended entries
that entered under Fujian Roungshu,
Roung Shu, or Xiamen Yi He’s case
number (i.e., at that exporter’s rate) will
be liquidated at the all-others rate if
there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.5

Notification to Importers
This notice also 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
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

Final Determination of No Shipments
As noted in the Preliminary Results, we preliminarily determined
that Fujian Roungshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi He had no shipments of
subject merchandise during the POR. Also in the Preliminary Results,
the Department stated that, consistent with its practice, it would
complete the review with respect to these companies and issue
appropriate instructions to U.S.
[[Page 48063]]
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) based on the final results.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Preliminary Results, 82 FR at 26666.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After issuing the Preliminary Results, the Department received no
comments from interested parties, and has not received any information
that would cause it to alter its preliminary determination. Therefore,
because the record indicates that these companies did not export
subject merchandise to the United States, the Department continues to
find that Fujian Roungshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi He had no shipments
of subject merchandise during the POR. As the Department received no
comments for consideration in these final results, the Department has
not prepared an Issues and Decision Memorandum for this review.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), the Department has determined, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this review. The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15
days after publication of the final results of this administrative
review. Additionally, because the Department determined that Fujian
Roungshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi He had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR, any suspended entries that entered under
Fujian Roungshu, Roung Shu, or Xiamen Yi He's case number (i.e., at
that exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the all-others rate if
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction.\5\

Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: October 6, 2017.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the
