we published a Corrected CVD Final

On February 4 and 5, 2019, Commerce
received timely ministerial error
allegations in the AD investigation.4 On
February 13, 2019, Commerce received
rebuttal comments to the ministerial
error allegations.5 See the ‘‘Amendment
to the AD Final Determination’’ section
below.
On March 15, 2019, pursuant to
sections 735(d) and 705(d) of the Act,
the ITC notified Commerce of its
affirmative final determination that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning
of sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and
705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of
LTFV imports and subsidized imports of
subject merchandise, respectively, from
China.6
Scope of the Orders
The product covered by these orders
is plastic ribbon from China. For a
complete description of the scope of
these orders, see the Appendix to this
notice.
Amendment to the AD Final
Determination
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e),
Commerce is amending the AD Final
Determination to correct certain
ministerial errors made in the AD Final
Determination with respect to Ricai and
Junlong.7 This amended final AD
determination corrects these errors and
revises the weighted-average margins

Decision Memorandum (CVD Final Determination).

that were calculated for Ricai and
Junlong. Because the margin for the
separate rate companies is based on the
rates for Junlong and Ricai, and their
rates changed due to the aforementioned
ministerial errors, we are revising the
margin applicable to the nonindividually investigated separate rate
companies in this amended final AD
determination.8 The amended weightedaverage margin rates are listed in the
‘‘Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping
Margins’’ table below.
Antidumping Duty Order
In accordance with sections
735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the Act, the
ITC notified Commerce of its final
determination that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by
reason of imports of plastic ribbon from
China that are sold in the United States
at LTFV.9 Therefore, in accordance with
sections 735(c)(2) and 736(a) of the Act,
we are issuing this antidumping duty
order. Because the ITC determined that
imports of plastic ribbon from China are
materially injuring a U.S. industry,
unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from these countries,
entered or withdrawn from warehouse
for consumption, are subject to the
assessment of antidumping duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will
direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further
instruction by Commerce, antidumping
duties equal to the amount by which the
normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or constructed
export price) of the merchandise, for all
relevant entries of plastic ribbon from
China. Antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of
plastic ribbon from China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after August 8, 2018,
the date of publication of the AD
Preliminary Determination,10 and before
February 4, 2019. Section 733(d) of the
Act states that the suspension of
liquidation pursuant to a preliminary
determination may not remain in effect
for more than four months except where
exporters representing a significant
proportion of exports of the subject
merchandise request Commerce to
extend that four-month period to no
more than six months. At the request of

Industry Co., Ltd. (Mei Song), two

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protections (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance
with the final results of this review. We will calculate importer-
specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales and
the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each
respondent for which it did not know its 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. We intend to issue
liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final
results of this review.

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during the 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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or 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 the terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
