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.

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 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selvedge from Taiwan: Roung Shu's Response to the Department's May

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\

    Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative

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.
Gary Taverman,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
