SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) and the
International Trade Commission (ITC),
Commerce is issuing antidumping duty
orders on polyethylene terephthalate
sheet (PET sheet) from the Republic of
Korea (Korea) and the Sultanate of

AGENCY:
The merchandise covered by these
orders is PET sheet from Korea and
Oman. For a complete description of the
scope of the Orders, see the Appendix
to this notice.
Antidumping Duty Orders
On September 3, 2020, in accordance
with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d)
of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce
of its final determinations that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports
of PET sheet from Korea and Oman.3
Therefore, Commerce is issuing these
antidumping duty orders in accordance
with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the
Act. Because the ITC determined that
imports of PET sheet from Korea and
Oman are materially injuring a U.S.
industry, unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from Korea and Oman,
which are entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, are subject
to the assessment of antidumping
duties.
As a result of the ITC’s final
affirmative determinations, 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
PET sheet from Korea and Oman.
Antidumping duties will be assessed on
unliquidated entries of PET sheet from
Korea and Oman entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after March 3, 2020, the date of
publication of the Preliminary
Determinations,4 but will not include
entries occurring after the expiration of
the provisional measures period and
before publication in the Federal
Register of the ITC’s injury
determination, as further described
below.
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the
Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to
continue to suspend liquidation of PET
sheet from Korea and Oman as
described in the Appendix to this notice
which are entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the date of publication of the ITC’s
notice of final determination in the
Federal Register. These instructions
suspending liquidation will remain in
effect until further notice.
We will also instruct CBP to require
cash deposits equal to the amounts as
indicated below. Accordingly, effective
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
final affirmative injury determination,
CBP will require, at the same time as
importers would normally deposit
estimated duties on this subject
merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the
cash deposit rates listed below.5 The allothers rate for each country applies to
all producers or exporters not
specifically listed.

duty order are as follows:

Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
suspension of liquidation pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months, except that Commerce may
extend the four-month period to no
more than six months at the request of
the exporters representing a significant
proportion of exports of the subject
merchandise. At the request of exporters
that account for a significant proportion
of PET sheet from Korea and Oman, we
extended the four-month period to six
months in the Preliminary
Determinations, published on March 3,
2020. Therefore, the extended period,
beginning on the date of the publication
of the preliminary determinations,
ended on August 29, 2020. Pursuant to
section 737(b) of the Act, the collection
of cash deposits at the rates listed above
will begin on the date of publication of
the ITC’s final injury determination.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act and our practice, we
will instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of PET sheet from Korea and
Oman entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption, on or after
August 30, 2020, the first day
provisional measures are no longer in
effect, until and through the day
preceding the date of publication of the
ITC’s final injury determination in the
Federal Register. Suspension of
liquidation will resume on the date of
publication of the ITC’s final
determination in the Federal Register.
pursuant to section 736(a) of the Act.

Polyethylene Terephthalate Sheet From the Republic of Korea and
the Sultanate of Oman: Antidumping Duty Orders
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final determinations by the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) and the International Trade Commission (ITC),
Commerce is issuing antidumping duty orders on polyethylene
terephthalate sheet (PET sheet) from the Republic of Korea (Korea) and
the Sultanate of Oman (Oman).
DATES: Applicable September 10, 2020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Katherine Sliney at (202) 482-2437

Offices III and V, respectively, Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401
Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.210(c), on July 22, 2020,
Commerce published its affirmative final determinations in the less-
than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of PET sheet from Korea and
Oman.\1\ On September 3, 2020, the ITC notified Commerce of its final
affirmative determinations that an industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the
Act, by reason of the LTFV imports of PET sheet from Korea and Oman.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Polyethylene Terephthalate Sheet from the Republic of
Korea: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 85 FR
44276 (July 22, 2020); and Polyethylene Terephthalate Sheet from the
Sultanate of Oman: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value, 85 FR 44278 (July 22, 2020).
\2\ See ITC's Letter, ``ITC's Notification of ITC Final
Determinations,'' dated September 3, 2020 (ITC Notification Letter).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these orders is PET sheet from Korea and
Oman. For a complete description of the scope of the Orders, see the
Appendix to this notice.
Antidumping Duty Orders
On September 3, 2020, in accordance with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i)
and 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final
determinations that an industry in the United States is materially
injured by reason of imports of PET sheet from Korea and Oman.\3\
Therefore, Commerce is issuing these antidumping duty orders in
accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act. Because the ITC
determined that imports of PET sheet from Korea and Oman are materially
injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from
Korea and Oman, which are entered or withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See ITC Notification Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of the ITC's final affirmative determinations, 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 PET sheet from
Korea and Oman. Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated
entries of PET sheet from Korea and Oman entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after March 3, 2020, the date of
publication of the Preliminary Determinations,\4\ but will not include
entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures
period and before publication in the Federal Register of the ITC's
injury determination, as further described below.

Korea: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than

Terephthalate Sheet from the Sultanate of Oman: Preliminary
Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value,
Postponement of Final Decision, and Extension of Provisional
Measures, 85 FR 12513 (March 3, 2020) (collectively, Preliminary
Determinations).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce will instruct
CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of PET sheet from Korea and Oman
as described in the Appendix to this notice which are entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the ITC's notice of final determination in the Federal
Register. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in
effect until further notice.
We will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the
amounts as indicated below. Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination, CBP
will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit
estimated duties on this subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to
the cash deposit rates listed below.\5\ The all-others rate for each
country applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed.

Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in
effect for more than four months, except that Commerce may extend the
four-month period to no more than six months at the request of the
exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the
subject merchandise. At the request of exporters that account for a
significant proportion of PET sheet from Korea and Oman, we extended
the four-month period to six months in the Preliminary Determinations,
published on March 3, 2020. Therefore, the extended period, beginning
on the date of the publication of the preliminary determinations, ended
on August 29, 2020. Pursuant to section 737(b) of the Act, the
collection of cash deposits at the rates listed above will begin on the
date of publication of the ITC's final injury determination.
Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our
practice, we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of
liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties,
unliquidated entries of PET sheet from Korea and Oman entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after August 30, 2020,
the first day provisional measures are no longer in effect, until and
through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final
injury determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation
will resume on the date of publication of the ITC's final determination
in the Federal Register.
