SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 6, 2020, based on a timely
request for review, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an
administrative review on low melt
polyester staple fiber (low melt PSF)
from the Republic of Korea (Korea).1
The review covers one producer and
exporter of the subject merchandise,
Toray Advanced Materials Korea, Inc.
(TAK). For a complete description of the
events that followed the initiation of
this review, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.2

staple fibers of any denier or cut length.
The subject merchandise may be coated,
usually with a finish or dye, or not
coated.
Low melt PSF is classifiable under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheading
5503.20.0015. Although the HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of the order is
dispositive.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B)
and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). Export price is
calculated in accordance with section
772 of the Act. NV is calculated in
accordance with section 773 of the Act.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. The
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a
public document and is on file
electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the
administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries.12
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
where the respondent reported the
entered value of their U.S. sales, we
calculated importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates based on the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the examined sales to the
total entered value of the sales for which
entered value was reported. Where the
respondent did not report entered value,
we calculated the entered value in order
to calculate the assessment rate. Where
either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific
rate is zero or de minimis, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping
duties.
The final results of this review shall
be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results
of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.
Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’
will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced
by TAK for which it did not know that
the merchandise it sold to an
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading
company, or exporter) was destined for
the United States. In such instances, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.13 The all-others rate is
16.27 percent.14
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a
timely summons is filed at the U.S.
Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP
not to liquidate relevant entries until the
time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).

19 CFR 351.212(b).

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective for all shipments of the
subject merchandise 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 TAK will be equal
to the weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of
this review, except if the rate is less
than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash
deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
companies not participating in this
review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific
cash deposit rate published for the most
recently completed segment; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the
producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the cash deposit rate established
for the most recently completed segment
for the producer of the merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be 16.27 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.15
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: April 30, 2021.

Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative
review, including the results of its analysis of issues raised in any
written briefs, not later than 120 days after the date of publication
of this notice, unless otherwise extended.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where the respondent reported the
entered value of their U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific ad
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of
the sales for which entered value was reported. Where the respondent
did not report entered value, we calculated the entered value in order
to calculate the assessment rate. Where either the respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific rate is zero
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping duties.
The final results of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by
the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable.
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by TAK for which it did not
know that the merchandise it sold to an intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States. In
such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\13\ The all-others rate is
16.27 percent.\14\

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,

Korea and Taiwan: Antidumping Duty Orders, 83 FR 40752, 40753

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise 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 TAK will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final
results of this review, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent
and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1),
in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for companies not
participating in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific cash deposit rate published for the most recently
completed segment; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but
the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit
rate established for the most recently completed segment for the
producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other producers or exporters will continue to be 16.27 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\15\ These
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: April 30, 2021.
Christian Marsh,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
