Final Rescission of New Shipper
Review
As explained in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum, we continue to
find that Doo Won is not the producer
of the garlic subject to this review.
Accordingly, its new shipper review
request was invalid under 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(ii). As a result, we are
rescinding the new shipper review of
Doo Won.
Scope of the Order
Assessment Instructions
As the result of this rescission of the
NSR of Doo Won, the entries of Doo
Won covered by this NSR will be
assessed at the cash deposit rate
required at the time of entry, which is
the China-wide rate.

Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(2) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). Because mandatory respondent
Ming Wei Co., Ltd. (Ming Wei)
withdrew from participation in the
administrative review and failed to
respond to Commerce’s questionnaire,
we preliminarily determine to apply
adverse facts available (AFA) to this
respondent, in accordance with sections
776(a) and (b) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.308. For a full discussion of the
rationale underlying our preliminary
results, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.

Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
On November 20, 2017, and
November 30, 2017, Fujian Rongshu,
Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi-He, and
Banduoo, respectively, timely filed
statements reporting that they made no
shipments of subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR.
Subsequently, we received information
from U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) confirming the no
shipment claims from Banduoo, Fujian
Rongshu, and Xiamen Yi-He.
With respect to Roung Shu, we
determined that it was necessary to
request additional information from
CBP and Roung Shu related to various
POR entries of merchandise produced
by Roung Shu. After reviewing the
additional information provided by
Roung Shu,2 we preliminarily
determine that Roung Shu had no
shipments during the POR.
Based on the foregoing, Commerce
preliminarily determines that Banduoo,
Fujian Rongshu, Roung Shu, and
Xiamen Yi-He had no shipments during
the POR. For additional information
regarding this determination, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Consistent with our practice, we are not
preliminarily rescinding the review
with respect to Banduoo, Fujian
Rongshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi-He
but, rather, we will complete the review
with respect to these companies and
issue appropriate instructions to CBP
based on the final results of this
review.3

Questionnaire, dated May 25, 2018. In these
submissions, Roung Shu provided documentation
to demonstrate that it only exported non-subject
ribbon to the United States during the POR.

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results,
Commerce shall determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.10 We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review. Where
assessments are based upon total facts
available, including AFA, we instruct
CBP to assess duties at the AFA margin
rate. The final results of this review
shall be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results
of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.11
Further, if we continue to find in the
final results that Banduoo, Fujian
Rongshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi-He
had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate any suspended
entries that entered under their
antidumping duty case numbers (i.e., at
that exporter’s rate) at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction. We intend to issue
liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days
after publication of the final results of
this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
notice of final results of administrative
review for all shipments of the subject

The cash deposit rate for Ming Wei will
be that established in the final results of

this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Because
mandatory respondent Ming Wei Co., Ltd. (Ming Wei) withdrew from
participation in the administrative review and failed to respond to
Commerce's questionnaire, we preliminarily determine to apply adverse
facts available (AFA) to this respondent, in accordance with sections
776(a) and (b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.308. For a full discussion of
the rationale underlying our preliminary results, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
A list of the topics included in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is attached as an Appendix to this notice. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://access.trade.gov, and it is available to
all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B-8024 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed and the electronic versions of
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content.
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
On November 20, 2017, and November 30, 2017, Fujian Rongshu, Roung
Shu, and Xiamen Yi-He, and Banduoo, respectively, timely filed
statements reporting that they made no shipments of subject merchandise
to the United States during the POR. Subsequently, we received
information from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirming
the no shipment claims from Banduoo, Fujian Rongshu, and Xiamen Yi-He.
With respect to Roung Shu, we determined that it was necessary to
request additional information from CBP and Roung Shu related to
various POR entries of merchandise produced by Roung Shu. After
reviewing the additional information provided by Roung Shu,\2\ we
preliminarily determine that Roung Shu had no shipments during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Roung Shu's Letter re: Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven
Selvedge from Taiwan: Roung Shu's Response to the Department's May
2, 2018 Questions, dated May 16, 2018, and Roung Shu's Letter re:
Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven Selvedge from Taiwan: Roung Shu's
Response to the Department's May 22, 2018 Supplemental
Questionnaire, dated May 25, 2018. In these submissions, Roung Shu
provided documentation to demonstrate that it only exported non-
subject ribbon to the United States during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on the foregoing, Commerce preliminarily determines that
Banduoo, Fujian Rongshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi-He had no shipments
during the POR. For additional information regarding this
determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Consistent with
our practice, we are not preliminarily rescinding the review with
respect to Banduoo, Fujian Rongshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi-He but,
rather, we will complete the review with respect to these companies and
issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of
this review.\3\

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review.\10\ We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries covered by this review. Where assessments
are based upon total facts available, including AFA, we instruct CBP to
assess duties at the AFA margin rate. The final results of this review
shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries
of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for
future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\11\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further, if we continue to find in the final results that Banduoo,
Fujian Rongshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi-He had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR, we will instruct CBP to liquidate any
suspended entries that entered under their antidumping duty case
numbers (i.e., at that exporter's rate) at the all-others rate if there
is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction. We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days
after publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate
for Ming Wei will be that established in the final results of this
review; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not
covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recently completed segment; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or the original
investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the most recently completed segment for the
manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 4.37 percent, the
all-others rate determined in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.\12\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: October 2, 2018.
