section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results,
Commerce will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.14 We intend to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication date of the final results of
this review. Pursuant to Commerce’s
practice in NME cases, if Commerce
continues to determine in the final
results that that TMI/TMM had no
shipments of subject merchandise, any
suspended entries during the POR from
TMI/TMM will be liquidated at the
China-wide rate.15
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
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withdrawn from warehouse, for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) For TMI/
TMM, which claimed no shipments, the
cash deposit rate will remain unchanged
from the rate assigned to TMI/TMM in
the most recently completed review of
the company; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese and
non-Chinese exporters who are not
under review in this segment of the
proceeding but who have separate rates,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the exporter-specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) for all
Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the China-wide rate
of 111.73 percent; and (4) for all nonChinese exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to Chinese
exporter(s) that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These 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 off
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the
comments received from parties, we
made certain changes to Jindal’s margin
calculations 7 and SRF’s margin
calculations.8
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, we
determine the following weightedaverage dumping margins for the period
July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017.

For entries of subject merchandise
produced by Jindal or SRF for which it
did not know its merchandise was
destined for the United States, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate established
in the less-than fair value (LTFV)
investigation, 5.71 percent,10 if there is
no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.11 Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate without regard to antidumping
duties any entries produced and/or
exported by SRF during the POR.

Disclosure and Public Comment
We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this
proceeding within five days after public announcement of these Final
Results, in accordance with section 751(a) and 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this administrative review, Commerce shall
determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Because SRF's weighted-
average dumping margin have been determined to be zero or de minimis
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions directly to CBP 15
days after publication of these final results of review. For Jindal, we
will base the assessment rate for the corresponding entries on the
margin listed above.
For entries of subject merchandise produced by Jindal or SRF for
which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate established in the less-than fair value (LTFV)
investigation, 5.71 percent,\10\ if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\11\ Pursuant to
19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard
to antidumping duties any entries produced and/or exported by SRF
during the POR.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of PET Film from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the Final
Results of this administrative review, as provided for by section

for merchandise exported by SRF; (2) the cash deposit rate will be 5.95
percent for merchandise exported by Jindal; (3) for previously reviewed
or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent
period; (4) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or the less-than-fair-value 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 (5)
the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters is 5.71
percent.\12\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall

Notification to Interested Parties
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
[[Page 9094]]
occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notifications to Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
Commerce is issuing and publishing these final results of
administrative review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221.
