The Petition
BILLING CODE 3510–DS–P
On December 27, 2017, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (Commerce)
received a countervailing duty (CVD)
Petition concerning imports of certain
plastic decorative ribbon (plastic
decorative ribbon) from the People’s
Republic of China (China), filed in
proper form on behalf of Berwick
Offray, LLC (the petitioner).1 The CVD
Petition was accompanied by an
antidumping (AD) Petition concerning
imports of plastic decorative ribbon
from China. The petitioner is a domestic
producer of plastic decorative ribbon.2
On January 2, 2018, Commerce
requested supplemental information
pertaining to certain areas of the
Petition.3 The petitioner filed responses
to these requests, including revised
scope language, on January 5, 2018.4
In accordance with section 702(b)(1)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), the petitioner alleges that the
Government of China (GOC) is
providing countervailable subsidies,
within the meaning of sections 701 and
771(5) of the Act, to imports of plastic
decorative ribbon from China and that
such imports are materially injuring, or
threatening material injury to, the
domestic industry producing plastic
decorative ribbon in the United States.
Also, consistent with section 702(b)(1)
of the Act, the Petition is accompanied
by information reasonably available to
the petitioner supporting its allegations.
Commerce finds that the petitioner
filed this Petition on behalf of the
domestic industry because the
petitioner is an interested party as
defined in section 771(9)(C) of the Act.
Commerce also finds that the petitioner
demonstrated sufficient industry
support with respect to the initiation of
