POR.\1\ On October 2, 2017, in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), 
Commerce received a timely request from Qwik Picz Photo Booth, LLC 
(QPP) to conduct an administrative review.\2\

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review if the party that requested the review withdraws 
its request within 90 days of the publication date of the notice of 
initiation of the requested review. QPP withdrew its review request 
with respect to Som International Limited and Wenzhou Haibao Printing

administrative review of the antidumping duty order. Therefore, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this 
administrative review in its entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to

this review is being rescinded of their responsibility under 19 CFR

antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during 
this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could 
result in the Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of the
