Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of ESB rubber from Korea
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for LG Chem,

4 As explained in the Preliminary Results PDM,
mandatory respondent LG Chem notified Commerce
that it would not participate in this administrative
review, and we applied facts otherwise available
with adverse inference (AFA), in accordance with
section 776 of the Act. No party challenged our
Preliminary Results with respect to LG Chem or the
rate selected. Therefore, we continue to apply AFA
to LG Chem.
5 The rate of 44.30 percent is the only rate
determined in this review for an individual
respondent, and, thus, it is appropriate to apply this
rate to the non-selected companies under section
735(c)(5)(B) of the Act. For a detailed discussion,
see the PDM.

Preliminary Results (i.e., 44.30 percent);
(2) for previously investigated
companies not under review in this
segment, the cash deposit will continue
to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding in
which the company participated; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the
manufacturer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
most recent segment for the
manufacturer of the merchandise; and
(4) the cash deposit rate for all other
manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be 9.66 percent, the allothers rate established in the LTFV
investigation. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 Commerce’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 the 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

subsidies during the period of review

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This review covers Shouguang, the
sole mandatory respondent, its crossowned affiliate, Shandong Longxing
Plastic Products Co., Ltd., and 18 other
companies that did not have reviewable
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR for which liquidation is
suspended.
On June 23, 2020, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results.1 In
the Preliminary Results, Commerce
preliminarily determined that
Shouguang received countervailable
subsidies during the POR. Pursuant to
section 776(a) of the Act, Commerce
preliminarily relied upon facts
otherwise available because neither the
Government of China (GOC) nor
Shouguang responded to the initial
questionnaire. Commerce further found
that an adverse inference was warranted
because the GOC and Shouguang did
not cooperate to the best of their ability.
In addition, we stated our intent to
rescind this administrative review with
respect to 18 companies that did not
have reviewable entries of subject
merchandise during the POR and for
which liquidation is suspended.2
Although we invited parties to comment
on the Preliminary Results,3 no
interested party submitted comments.
On April 24, 2020, Commerce tolled
all deadlines in administrative reviews
by 50 days.4 On July 21, 2020,
Commerce tolled all deadlines in
administrative reviews by an additional
60 days.5 The deadline for the final
results of this review is now December
21, 2020.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
order is laminated woven sacks.
Laminated woven sacks are bags or
sacks consisting of one or more plies of
fabric consisting of woven
polypropylene strip and/or woven
polyethylene strip, regardless of the
width of the strip; with or without an
extrusion coating of polypropylene and/
or polyethylene on one or both sides of
the fabric; laminated by any method
either to an exterior ply of plastic film
such as biaxially-oriented
polypropylene (BOPP) or to an exterior
ply of paper that is suitable for high
quality print graphics; 6 printed with
three colors or more in register; with or
without lining; whether or not closed on
one end; whether or not in roll form
(including sheets, lay-flat tubing, and
sleeves); with or without handles; with
or without special closing features; not
exceeding one kilogram in weight.
Laminated woven sacks are typically
used for retail packaging of consumer
goods such as pet foods and bird seed.
Effective July 1, 2007, laminated
woven sacks are classifiable under
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheadings
6305.33.0050 and 6305.33.0080.
Laminated woven sacks were previously
classifiable under HTSUS subheading
6305.33.0020. Laminated woven sacks
are also classifiable under HTSUS
6305.33.0040. If entered with plastic
coating on both sides of the fabric
consisting of woven polypropylene strip
and/or woven polyethylene strip,
laminated woven sacks may be
classifiable under HTSUS subheadings
3923.21.0080, 3923.21.0095, and
3923.29.0000. If entered not closed on
one end or in roll form (including
sheets, lay-flat tubing, and sleeves),
laminated woven sacks may be
classifiable under other HTSUS
subheadings including 3917.39.0050,
3921.90.1100, 3921.90.1500, and
5903.90.2500. If the polypropylene
strips and/or polyethylene strips making
up the fabric measure more than 5
millimeters in width, laminated woven
sacks may be classifiable under other
HTSUS subheadings including
4601.99.0500, 4601.99.9000, and
4602.90.0000. Although HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
order is dispositive.
Rescission of Review, in Part
As noted in the Preliminary Results,
18 of the companies subject to this
review did not have reviewable entries
of subject merchandise during the POR
for which liquidation is suspended.
Accordingly, in the absence of
reviewable, suspended entries of subject
merchandise during the POR by the 18
companies at issue, we are rescinding
this administrative review with respect
to these 18 companies, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).7
Final Results of the Review
Because we received no comments
from interested parties, we made no
changes to the Preliminary Results.
Accordingly, no decision memorandum
accompanies this Federal Register
notice.8
We determine the following net
countervailable subsidy rate for the
period January 1, 2018 through
December 31, 2018:

Rescission of Review, in Part
As noted in the Preliminary Results, 18 of the companies subject to
this review did not have reviewable entries of subject merchandise
during the POR for which liquidation is suspended. Accordingly, in the
absence of reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during
the POR by the 18 companies at issue, we are rescinding this
administrative review with respect to these 18 companies, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See the Appendix for a list of the 18 companies for whom we
are rescinding this review because each had no reviewable, suspended
entries during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of the Review
Because we received no comments from interested parties, we made no
changes to the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, no decision memorandum
accompanies this Federal Register notice.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ For further details of the issues addressed in this
proceeding, see Preliminary Results and PDM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We determine the following net countervailable subsidy rate for the
period January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company Net subsidy rate ad valorem
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shandong Shouguang Jianyuan Chun Co., Ltd. 398.62 percent.
and Shandong Longxing Plastic Products
Co., Ltd.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with the final results within five days of the
date of publication of the notice of final results in the Federal
Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because
Commerce has applied a rate based on facts otherwise available with an
adverse inference to the sole mandatory respondent in this review, in
accordance with section 776 of the Act, and because the method for
determining the subsidy rate is outlined in the Preliminary Results,\9\
there are no calculations to disclose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Preliminary Results PDM at ``Use of Facts Otherwise
Available and Application of Adverse Inferences'' and Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Consistent with section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the
[[Page 67515]]
Act) and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), Commerce will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess countervailing duties
on all appropriate entries. Commerce intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final
results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also intends
to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing
duties in the amount indicated above for the named respondents entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this administrative review. For all
non-reviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties at the most recent company-specific or
all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of return/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.
