Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The products within the scope of this
investigation are paper shopping bags with
handles of any type, regardless of whether
there is any printing, regardless of how the
top edges are finished (e.g., folded, serrated,
or otherwise finished), regardless of color,
and regardless of whether the top edges
contain adhesive or other material for sealing
closed. Subject paper shopping bags have a
width of at least 4.5 inches and depth of at
least 2.5 inches.
Paper shopping bags typically are made of
kraft paper but can be made from any type
of cellulose fiber, paperboard, or pressboard
with a basis weight less than 300 grams per
square meter (GSM).
A non-exhaustive illustrative list of the
types of handles on shopping bags covered
by the scope include handles made from any
materials such as twisted paper, flat paper,
yarn, ribbon, rope, string, or plastic, as well
as die-cut handles (whether the punchout is
fully removed or partially attached as a flap).
Excluded from the scope are:
• Paper sacks or bags that are of a 1⁄6 or 1⁄7
barrel size (i.e., 11.5–12.5 inches in width,
6.5–7.5 inches in depth, and 13.5–17.5
inches in height) with flat paper handles or
die-cut handles;
• Paper sacks or bags with die-cut handles,
a grams per square meter paper weight of less
than 86 GSM, and a height of less than 11.5
inches; and
• Paper sacks or bags (i) with non-paper
handles made wholly of woven ribbon or
other similar woven fabric 11 and (ii) that are
finished with folded tops or for which tied
knots or t-bar aglets (made of wood, metal,
or plastic) are used to secure the handles to
the bags.
The above-referenced dimensions are
provided for paper bags in the opened
position. The height of the bag is the distance
from the bottom fold edge to the top edge
(i.e., excluding the height of handles that
extend above the top edge). The depth of the
bag is the distance from the front of the bag
edge to the back of the bag edge (typically
measured at the bottom of the bag). The
width of the bag is measured from the left to
the right edges of the front and back panels
(upon which the handles typically are
located).
This merchandise is currently classifiable
under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheadings
4819.30.0040 and 4819.40.0040. The HTSUS
subheadings are provided for convenience
and customs purposes only; the written
description of the scope is dispositive.
The U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) determines that
the two exporters subject to this review,
Saha Thai Steel Pipe Public Co., Ltd.
(Saha Thai) and Thai Premium Pipe Co.
Ltd. (TPP), did not make sales of subject
merchandise at less than normal value
during the period of review (POR)
March 1, 2022, through February 28,
2023.

The products covered by this order

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to
interested parties the calculations of the
final results of an administrative review
within five days of a public
announcement or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the
date of publication of the notice of final
results in the Federal Register, in

Assessment Rates
Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 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 of subject
merchandise covered this review.
Because both of the respondents’
weighted-average dumping margins or
an importer-specific assessment rates
are zero or de minimis in the final
results of review, we intend to instruct
CBP to liquidate entries without regard
to antidumping duties.3 The final
results of this administrative 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.4
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Saha Thai
and TPP, for which they did not know
that its merchandise was destined for
the United States, 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.
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of these 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 cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash
deposit rate for Saha Thai and TPP will

results of this administrative review
(i.e., 0.00 percent); (2) for merchandise
exported by a company not covered in
this review but covered in a prior
completed segment of the proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published in
the completed segment for the most
recent period; (3) if the exporter is not
a firm covered in this review or another
completed segment of this proceeding,
but the producer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the companyspecific rate established for the
completed segment for the most recent
period for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 15.67 percent, the
all-others rate established in the lessthan-fair-value investigation.5 These
