Appendix 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is phosphate fertilizers in all 

physical forms (i.e., solid or liquid form), 

with or without coating or additives such as 

anti-caking agents. Phosphate fertilizers in 

solid form are covered whether granular, 

prilled (i.e., pelletized), or in other solid form 

(e.g., powdered). 

The covered merchandise includes 

phosphate fertilizers in the following forms: 

Ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate or 

monoammonium phosphate (MAP), chemical 

formula NH4H2PO4; diammonium 

hydrogenorthophosphate or diammonium 

phosphate (DAP), chemical formula 

(NH4)2HPO4; normal superphosphate (NSP), 

also known as ordinary superphosphate or 

single superphosphate, chemical formula 

Ca(H2PO4)2·CaSO4; concentrated 

superphosphate, also known as double, 

treble, or triple superphosphate (TSP), 

chemical formula Ca(H2PO4)2·H2O; and 

proprietary formulations of MAP, DAP, NSP, 

and TSP. 

The covered merchandise also includes 

other fertilizer formulations incorporating 

phosphorous and non-phosphorous plant 

nutrient components, whether chemicallybonded, granulated (e.g., when multiple 

components are incorporated into granules 

through, e.g., a slurry process), or 

compounded (e.g., when multiple 

components are compacted together under 

high pressure), including nitrogen, 

phosphate, sulfur (NPS) fertilizers, nitrogen, 

phosphorous, potassium (NPK) fertilizers, 

nitric phosphate (also known as 

nitrophosphate) fertilizers, ammoniated 

superphosphate fertilizers, and proprietary 

formulations thereof that may or may not 

include other nonphosphorous plant nutrient 

components. For phosphate fertilizers that 

contain non-phosphorous plant nutrient 

components, such as nitrogen, potassium, 

sulfur, zinc, or other non-phosphorous 

components, the entire article is covered, 

including the non-phosphorous content, 

provided that the phosphorous content 

(measured by available diphosphorous 

pentaoxide, chemical formula P2O5) is at 

least 5% by actual weight. 

Phosphate fertilizers that are otherwise 

subject to this investigation are included 

when commingled (i.e., mixed or blended) 

with phosphate fertilizers from sources not 

subject to this investigation. Phosphate 

fertilizers that are otherwise subject to this 

investigation are included when commingled 

with substances other than phosphate 

fertilizers subject to this investigation (e.g., 

granules containing only non-phosphate 

fertilizers such as potash or urea). Only the 

subject component of such commingled 

products is covered by the scope of this 

investigation. The following products are 

specifically excluded from the scope of this 

investigation: 

(1) ABC dry chemical powder preparations 

for fire extinguishers containing MAP or DAP 

in powdered form; 

(2) industrial or technical grade MAP in 

white crystalline form with available P2O5 

content of at least 60% by actual weight; 

(3) industrial or technical grade 

diammonium phosphate in white crystalline 

form with available P2O5 content of at least 

50% by actual weight; 

(4) liquid ammonium polyphosphate 

fertilizers; 

(5) dicalcium phosphate, chemical formula 

CaHPO4; 

(6) monocalcium phosphate, chemical 

formula CaH4P2O8; 

(7) trisodium phosphate, chemical formula 

Na3PO4; 

(8) sodium tripolyphosphate, chemical 

formula Na5P3O10; 

(9) prepared baking powders containing 

sodium bicarbonate and any form of 

phosphate; 

(10) animal or vegetable fertilizers not 

containing phosphate fertilizers otherwise 

covered by the scope of this investigation; 

(11) phosphoric acid, chemical formula 

H3PO4. 

The Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) 

numbers for covered phosphate fertilizers 

include, but are not limited to: 7722–76–1 

(MAP); 7783–28–0 (DAP); and 65996–95–4 

(TSP). The covered products may also be 

identified by Nitrogen-Phosphate-Potash 

composition, including but not limited to: NP 

11–52–0 (MAP); NP 18–46–0 (DAP); and NP 

0–46–0 (TSP). 

The covered merchandise is currently 

classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

of the United States (HTSUS) at subheadings 

3103.11.0000; 3103.19.0000; 3105.20.0000; 

3105.30.0000; 3105.40.0010; 3105.40.0050; 

3105.51.0000; and 3105.59.0000. Phosphate 

fertilizers subject to this investigation may

with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the order 

includes synthetic staple fibers, not 

carded or combed, specifically bicomponent polyester fibers having a 

polyester fiber component that melts at 

a lower temperature than the other 

polyester fiber component (low melt 

PSF). The scope includes bi-component 

polyester 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

Final Results of the Review 

We are assigning the following 

weighted-average dumping margin to 

TAK for the period February 1, 2018 

through July 31, 2019, as follows:

Assessment Rates 

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries in accordance with 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 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 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. We intend to instruct CBP to 

take into account the ‘‘provisional 

measures deposit cap,’’ in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(d). 

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.6

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.7 The all-others rate is 16.27 

percent.8

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 

after the date of publication of these 

final results of review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of 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 

the rate shown above; (2) for previously 

reviewed or investigated companies not 

participating in this review, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently-completed segment; (3) if 

the exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a previous review, or the 

original less-than-fair value (LTFV) 

investigation, but the manufacturer is, 

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 16.27 

percent, the all-others rate made 

effective by the LTFV investigation.9

These 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 the Secretary’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under 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 

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. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act.
