The Department of Commerce (“the Department”) is partially rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain polyester staple fiber from the People's Republic of China (“PRC”) for the period June 1, 2012 through May 31, 2013, based on the withdrawal of a certain request for review.
Steven Hampton, AD/CVD Operations,
On June 3, 2013, the Department published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain polyester staple fiber from the PRC.
On November 14, 2013, Zhaoqing Tifo New Fiber Co., Ltd. (“Zhaoqing Tifo”)
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation. Zhaoqing Tifo's withdrawal of its review request was submitted within the deadline set forth under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) and consistent with our practice,
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For Zhaoqing Tifo, antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period June 1, 2012, through May 31, 2013, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instruction directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice.
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 the presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to the administrative protective order (“APO”) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under an APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.
