(Commerce) finds that revocation of the

folding gift boxes from the People’s
Republic of China (China) would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping at the dumping margins
identified in the ‘‘Final Results of
Review’’ section of this notice.

Background
On February 1, 2018, Commerce
published the notice of initiation of the
third sunset review of the antidumping
duty order 1 on certain folding gift boxes
from China, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended

(the Act).2 On February 16, 2018,
Commerce received a notice of intent to
participate from Harvard Folding Box
Company, Inc. (Harvard) and P.S.
Greetings, Inc. doing business as (d.b.a.)
Fantus Paper Products (P.S. Greetings),
hereinafter referred to as Domestic
Interested Parties, within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).3
Domestic Interested Parties claimed
interested party status under section
771(9)(C) of the Act, as producers of the
domestic like product.4 On November 3,
2017, Commerce received complete
substantive responses from Domestic
Interested Parties within the 30-day
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i).5 We received no
substantive response from any other
domestic or respondent interested
parties in this proceeding, nor was a
hearing requested. As a result, pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C),
Commerce conducted an expedited
(120-day) sunset review of the Order.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the Order
are certain folding gift boxes. Folding
gift boxes are a type of folding or knockdown carton manufactured from paper
or paperboard. Folding gift boxes are
produced from a variety of recycled and
virgin paper or paperboard materials,
including, but not limited to, claycoated paper or paperboard and kraft
(bleached or unbleached) paper or
paperboard. The scope of the Order
excludes gift boxes manufactured from
paper or paperboard of a thickness of
more than 0.8 millimeters, corrugated
paperboard, or paper mache. The scope
also excludes those gift boxes for which
no side of the box, when assembled, is
at least nine inches in length.
Folding gift boxes included in the
scope are typically decorated with a
holiday motif using various processes,
including printing, embossing,

debossing, and foil stamping, but may
also be plain white or printed with a
single color. The subject merchandise
includes folding gift boxes, with or
without handles, whether finished or
unfinished, and whether in one-piece or
multi-piece configuration. One-piece
gift boxes are die-cut or otherwise
formed so that the top, bottom, and
sides form a single, contiguous unit.
Two-piece gift boxes are those with a
folded bottom and a folded top as
separate pieces. Folding gift boxes are
generally packaged in shrink-wrap,
cellophane, or other packaging
materials, in single or multi-box packs
for sale to the retail customer. The scope
excludes folding gift boxes that have a
retailer’s name, logo, trademark or
similar company information printed
prominently on the box’s top exterior
(such folding gift boxes are often known
as ‘‘not-for-resale’’ gift boxes or ‘‘giveaway’’ gift boxes and may be provided
by department and specialty stores at no
charge to their retail customers). The
scope of the Order also excludes folding
gift boxes where both the outside of the
box is a single color and the box is not
packaged in shrink-wrap, cellophane,
other resin-based packaging films, or
paperboard.
Imports of the subject merchandise
are classified under Harmonized Tariff
Schedules of the United States (HTSUS)
subheadings 4819.20.0040 and
4819.50.4060. These subheadings also
cover products that are outside the
scope of the Order. Furthermore,
although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, our written description of the
scope of the Order is dispositive.

including the likelihood of continuation
or recurrence of dumping and the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail if the Order were revoked, are
addressed in the Issues and Decision

On April 25, 2018, the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) initiated
countervailing duty (CVD)
investigations on glycine from India,
China, and Thailand.1 Currently, the
preliminary determinations of these
investigations are due no later than June
21, 2018.
Postponement of Preliminary
Determination
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), requires
Commerce to issue the preliminary
determination in a CVD investigation
within 65 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation.
However, if the petitioner makes a
timely request for a postponement,
section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act allows
Commerce to postpone making the
preliminary determination until no later
than 130 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation.
Under 19 CFR 351.205(e), a petitioner
must submit a request for postponement
25 days or more before the scheduled
date of the preliminary determination
and must state the reason for the
request. Commerce will grant the
request unless it finds compelling
reasons to deny the request.
On May 22, 2018, GEO Specialty
Chemicals, Inc. and Chattem Chemicals,
Inc. (collectively, the petitioners)
1 See Glycine from India, the People’s Republic of
China, and Thailand: Initiation of Countervailing
Duty Investigations, 83 FR 18002 (April 25, 2018)
(Initiation Notice).

submitted timely requests, pursuant to
section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.205(e), to postpone the
preliminary determinations.2 The
petitioners state that the current
investigation schedule does not provide
adequate time to develop the record
prior to the preliminary determination.
The petitioners, therefore, request
postponement of the preliminary
determination to allow parties sufficient
time to develop the record, including
analyzing questionnaire responses and
permit the issuance of supplemental
questionnaires, if necessary. According
to petitioners, postponement of the
preliminary determination by the
maximum extension of 65 additional
days in this case would allow sufficient
time for Commerce to develop the
record in this investigation.
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.205(e), the petitioners have stated
the reasons for requesting a
postponement of the preliminary
determination, and Commerce finds
there are no compelling reasons to deny
the requests. Therefore, in accordance
with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act,
Commerce is postponing the deadline
for the preliminary determinations to no
later than 130 days after the day on
which the investigations were initiated,
i.e., April 17, 2018. Accordingly,
Commerce will issue the preliminary
determinations no later than August 27,
2018.3 In accordance with section
705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final
determinations of these investigations
will continue to be 75 days after the
date of the preliminary determinations,
unless postponed at a later date.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
2 See the petitioners’ letter re: Glycine from the
People’s Republic of China, India and Thailand:
Request to Extend Deadline for Preliminary
Determinations, dated May 22, 2018.
3 See 19 CFR 351.303(b)(1) and (2). Postponing
the preliminary determination to 130 days after
initiation would place the deadline on Saturday,
August 25, 2018. Commerce’s practice dictates that
where a deadline falls on a weekend or a federal
holiday, the appropriate deadline is the next
business day. This date reflects the next business
day after the deadline of August 25, 2018. See
Notice of Clarification: Application of ‘‘Next
Business Day’’ Rule for Administrative
Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act
of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).

Scope of the Order
The products covered by the Order are certain folding gift boxes.
Folding gift boxes are a type of folding or knock-down carton
manufactured from paper or paperboard. Folding gift boxes are produced
from a variety of recycled and virgin paper or paperboard materials,
including, but not limited to, clay-coated paper or paperboard and
kraft (bleached or unbleached) paper or paperboard. The scope of the
Order excludes gift boxes manufactured from paper or paperboard of a
thickness of more than 0.8 millimeters, corrugated paperboard, or paper
mache. The scope also excludes those gift boxes for which no side of
the box, when assembled, is at least nine inches in length.
Folding gift boxes included in the scope are typically decorated
with a holiday motif using various processes, including printing,
embossing, debossing, and foil stamping, but may also be plain white or
printed with a single color. The subject merchandise includes folding
gift boxes, with or without handles, whether finished or unfinished,

folding gift boxes where both the outside of the box is a single color
and the box is not packaged in shrink-wrap, cellophane, other resin-

Imports of the subject merchandise are classified under Harmonized
