SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope.—For purposes of these
investigations, Commerce has defined
the subject merchandise as ‘‘. . .
polyester textured yarn, is synthetic
multifilament yarn that is manufactured
from polyester (polyethylene
terephthalate). Polyester textured yarn is
produced through a texturing process,
which imparts special properties to the
filaments of the yarn, including stretch,
bulk, strength, moisture absorption,
insulation, and the appearance of a
natural fiber. This scope includes all
forms of polyester textured yarn,
regardless of surface texture or
appearance, yarn density and thickness
(as measured in denier), number of

filaments, number of plies, finish
(luster), cross section, color, dye
method, texturing method, or packing
method (such as spindles, tubes, or
beams).
Excluded from the scope of these
investigations are bulk continuous
filament yarn that: (a) Is polyester
synthetic multifilament yarn; (b) has
denier size ranges of 900 and above; (c)
has turns per meter of 40 and above; and
(d) has a maximum shrinkage of 2.5
percent.
The merchandise subject to these
investigations are properly classified
under subheadings 5402.33.3000 and
5402.33.6000 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.’’
Background.—The final phase of
these investigations is being scheduled
pursuant to sections 705(b) and 731(b)
of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.
1671d(b) and 1673d(b)), as a result of
affirmative preliminary determinations
by Commerce that certain benefits
which constitute subsidies within the
meaning of section 703 of the Act (19
U.S.C. 1671b) are being provided to
manufacturers, producers, or exporters
in China and India of polyester textured
yarn, and that such products are being
sold in the United States at less than fair
value within the meaning of section 733
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b). The
investigations were requested in
petitions filed on October 18, 2018, by
Unifi Manufacturing, Inc., Greensboro,
North Carolina; and Nan Ya Plastics
Corp. America, Lake City, South
Carolina.
