Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation consists of twist ties, which are
thin, bendable ties for closing containers,
such as bags, bundle items, or identifying
objects. A twist tie in most circumstances is
comprised of one or more metal wires
encased in a covering material, which allows
the tie to retain its shape and bind against
itself. However, it is possible to make a twist
tie with plastic and no metal wires. The
metal wire that is generally used in a twist
tie is stainless or galvanized steel and
typically measures between the gauges of 19
(.0410″ diameter) and 31 (.0132″) (American
Standard Wire Gauge). A twist tie usually has
a width between .075″ and 1″ in the crossmachine direction (width of the tie—
measurement perpendicular with the wire); a
thickness between .015″ and .045″ over the
wire; and a thickness between .002″ and
.020″ in areas without wire. The scope
includes an all-plastic twist tie containing a
plastic core as well as a plastic covering (the
wing) over the core, just like paper and/or
plastic in a metal tie. An all-plastic twist tie
(without metal wire) would be of the same
measurements as a twist tie containing one
or more metal wires. Twist ties are
commonly available individually in pre-cut
lengths (‘‘singles’’), wound in large spools to
be cut later by machine or hand, or in
perforated sheets of spooled or single twist
ties that are later slit by machine or by hand
(‘‘gangs’’).
The covering material of a twist tie may be
paper (metallic or plain), or plastic, and can
be dyed in a variety of colors with or without
printing. A twist tie may have the same
covering material on both sides or one side
of paper and one side of plastic. When
comprised of two sides of paper, the paper
material is bound together with an adhesive
or plastic. A twist tie may also have a tag or
label attached to it or a pre-applied adhesive
attached to it.
Excluded from the scope of the order are
twist ties packaged with bags for sale together
where the quantity of twist ties does not
exceed twice the number of bags in each
package. Also excluded are twists ties that
constitute part of the packaging of the
imported product, for example, merchandise
anchored/secured to a backing with twist ties
in the retail package or a bag of bread that
is closed with a twist tie.

Twist ties are imported into the United
States under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS) subheadings
8309.90.0000 and 5609.00.3000. Subject
merchandise may also enter under HTSUS

The administrative review remains
active only with respect to Create

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit
of estimated antidumping duties
required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, during the period July 1,

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 the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
Notification Regarding 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 APO in accordance
