Agents From the People’s Republic of
China and Taiwan: Continuation of
Antidumping Duty Orders

Department of Commerce.
DATES: Applicable November 27, 2017.
SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (the Department) and the
U.S. International Trade Commission
(ITC) that revocation of the antidumping
duty orders on certain stilbenic optical
brightening agents (stilbenic OBAs)
from the People’s Republic of China
(PRC) and Taiwan would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, the Department is
publishing a notice of continuation of
the antidumping duty orders.

notice of initiation of the first sunset
reviews of the antidumping duty orders
on stilbenic OBAs from the PRC and
Taiwan pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).1
As a result of its review, the
Department determined that revocation
of the antidumping duty orders on
certain stilbenic OBAs from the PRC
and Taiwan would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and, therefore, notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins of dumping

likely to prevail should the orders be
revoked.2
On October 27, 2017, the ITC
published its determination, pursuant to
section 751(c)(1) of the Act, that
revocation of the antidumping duty
orders on certain stilbenic OBAs from
the PRC and Taiwan would be likely to
lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time.3
Scope of the Orders
The stilbenic OBAs covered by the
orders 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] 4 amino-2,2′-stilbenedisulfonic acid),
except for compounds listed in the
following paragraph. The stilbenic
OBAs covered by the orders include
final stilbenic OBA products, as well as
intermediate products that are
themselves triazinylaminostilbenes
produced during the synthesis of
stilbenic OBA products.
Excluded from the orders are all forms
of 4,4′-bis[4-anilino-6-morpholino-1,3,5triazin-2-yl] 5 amino-2,2′stilbenedisulfonic acid, C40H40N12O8S2
(Fluorescent Brightener 71). The orders
cover 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.
Continuation of the Orders

the Department and the ITC that
