Background
On August 10, 2018, Commerce
published the preliminary results for
this administrative review.1 We invited
interested parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results. We received no
comments nor requests for a hearing
from any party.2 Commerce conducted
this administrative review in
accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).
Scope of the Order
amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
The products covered by the
antidumping duty order are all gauges of
raw, pretreated, or primed polyethylene
terephthalate film, sheet, and strip (PET
film), whether extruded or coextruded.
Excluded are metalized films and other
finished films that have had at least one
of their surfaces modified by the
application of a performance-enhancing
resinous or inorganic layer of more than
0.00001 inches thick. Imports of PET
film are currently classifiable in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) under item
1 See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and
Strip from Taiwan: Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2016–

Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP)
information and information provided
by Shinkong Materials Technology
Corporation (SMTC) and its affiliate
Shinkong Synthetic Fibers Corporation
(SSFC), we determine that SMTC had no
shipments of the subject merchandise
during the POR.
Final Results of Review
As there are no changes from, or
comments upon, the Preliminary
Results, Commerce has not modified its
analysis or calculations. Accordingly,
no decision memorandum accompanies
this Federal Register notice. We
continue to find that Nan Ya did not
make sales of subject merchandise at
less than normal value during the POR.
Commerce determines that the
weighted-average dumping margin
exists for the period July 1, 2016,
through June 30, 2017:
Producer/exporter

Assessment Rates
Commerce will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries in this review, in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of these final results of
review. Because we calculated a zero
margin in the final results of this review
for Nan Ya, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to dumping duties.
In accordance with Commerce’s
practice, for entries of subject
merchandise during the POR that SMTC
or its affiliate, SSFC, did not know that
the merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
Cash Deposit Requirements

requirements will be effective upon

administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for Nan Ya will be 0.00
percent, the rate established in the final
results of this review; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not
covered in this review, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most
recent period; (3) if the exporter is not
a firm covered in this or any previous
review or in the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation but the
manufacturer is, the cash-deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; and (4) if neither the
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm
covered in this or any previous review
or the investigation, the cash-deposit
rate will continue to be the all-others
rate of 2.40 percent, which is the allothers rate established by Commerce in
the LTFV investigation.3 These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final
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
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(Commerce) preliminarily determines
that PT. Cheil Jedang Indonesia (CJ
Indonesia), the sole respondent in this
administrative review, made sales of
subject merchandise in the United
States at prices below normal value
during the period of review covering
November 1, 2016, through October 31,
2017 (POR). Commerce is also
rescinding the administrative review
with respect to PT. Miwon Indonesia
(Miwon). We invite interested parties to
comment on these preliminary results.
DATES: Applicable December 11, 2018.

Background
On January 11, 2018, based on
requests from interested parties,
Commerce initiated the administrative
review on monosodium glutamate
(MSG) from the Republic of Indonesia
(Indonesia) covering Miwon and CJ
Indonesia.1 A detailed description of the
events that followed the initiation of

this review can be found in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.2
This administrative review is being
conducted in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this review is
MSG from Indonesia. A complete
description of the scope of the order can
be found in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Partial Rescission of Administrative
Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if the party
that requested the review withdraws its
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. The notice
initiating the instant administrative
review was published on January 11,
2018. On April 4, 2018, Daesang
America, Inc. (Daesang), a U.S. importer
of MSG from Indonesia, timely
withdrew its request for an
administrative review with respect to
Miwon.3 Because Daesang timely
withdrew its request for an
administrative review of Miwon within
90 days of the date of publication of the
Initiation Notice, and as there are no
remaining requests to review Miwon,
Commerce is rescinding this review
with respect to Miwon, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this
administrative review in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the
Act. Export price and constructed
export price are calculated in
accordance with section 772 of the Act.
Normal value is calculated in
accordance with section 773 of the Act.
A full description of the methodology
underlying these preliminary results can
be found in the Preliminary
Determination Memorandum. A list of
the topics included in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is included as
an appendix to this notice. The
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a
public document and is on file

Preliminary Results of Review
Commerce preliminarily determines
that a weighted-average margin of 24.68
percent exists for CJ Indonesia for the
period November 1, 2016, through
October 31, 2017.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results of
this administrative review, Commerce
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.4
If the weighted-average dumping
margin for CJ Indonesia is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we
will calculate importer-specific ad
valorem antidumping duty assessment
rates based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for the
importer’s examined sales to the total
entered value of those same sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review when the
importer-specific assessment rate
calculated in the final results of this
review is above de minimis (i.e., 0.5
percent). If the respondent’s (i.e., CJ
Indonesia’s) weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, or an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
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 where applicable.
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by CJ Indonesia for
which the producer did not know that
its merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate entries not reviewed at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
