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 entities 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. 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: June 13, 2007. 

Joseph A. Spetrini, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.

IQF Red Raspberries from Chile: Final 

Results of Sunset Review and 

Revocation of Order 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On June 1, 2007, the 

Department of Commerce (Department) 

initiated this sunset review of the 

antidumping duty order on IQF red 

raspberries from Chile (72 FR 30544). 

Because the domestic interested parties 

did not participate in this review, the 

Department is revoking this 

antidumping duty order. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 9, 2007 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Nancy Decker or Brandon Farlander, 

Import Administration, International 

Trade Administration, U.S. Department 

of Commerce, 14th Street and 

Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, 

DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–0196 or 

(202) 482–0182, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 9, 2002, the Department 

issued an antidumping duty order on 

IQF red raspberries from Chile. See 

Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: IQF 

Red Raspberries from Chile, 67 FR 

45460 (July 9, 2002). On June 1, 2007, 

the Department initiated a sunset review 

of this order. See Initiation of Five-year 

(Sunset) Reviews, 72 FR 30544, 30545 

(June 1, 2007). 

We did not receive a notice of intent 

to participate from domestic interested 

parties in this sunset review by the 

deadline date. As a result, the 

Department determined that no 

domestic interested party intends to 

participate in the sunset review, and on 

June 21, 2007, we notified the 

International Trade Commission, in 

writing, that we intended to issue a final 

determination revoking this 

antidumping duty order. See 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(1) and (B)(2). 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this order 

are imports of IQF whole or broken red 

raspberries from Chile, with or without 

the addition of sugar or syrup, 

regardless of variety, grade, size or 

horticulture method (e.g., organic or 

not), the size of the container in which 

packed, or the method of packing. The 

scope of the order excludes fresh red 

raspberries and block frozen red 

raspberries (i.e., puree, straight pack, 

juice stock, and juice concentrate). 

The merchandise subject to this order 

is currently classifiable under 

subheading 0811.20.2020 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the 

HTSUS subheading is provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

under the order is dispositive. 

Determination to Revoke 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

and 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3), if no 

domestic interested party files a notice 

of intent to participate, the Department 

shall, within 90 days after the initiation 

of the review, issue a final 

determination revoking the order. 

Because the domestic interested parties 

did not file a notice of intent to 

participate in this sunset review, the 

Department finds that no domestic 

interested party is participating in this 

sunset review. Therefore, we are 

revoking this antidumping duty order. 

The effective date of revocation is July 

9, 2007, the fifth anniversary of the date 

the Department published this 

antidumping duty order. See 19 CFR 

351.222(i)(2)(i). 

Effective Date of Revocation 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the 

Department will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection to terminate the 

suspension of liquidation of the 

merchandise subject to this order 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

on or after July 9, 2007. Entries of 

subject merchandise prior to the 

effective date of revocation will 

continue to be subject to suspension of 

liquidation and antidumping duty 

deposit requirements. The Department 

will complete any pending 

administrative reviews of this order and 

will conduct administrative reviews of 

subject merchandise entered prior to the 

effective date of revocation in response 

to appropriately filed requests for 

review. 

This five-year (sunset) review and 

notice are in accordance with sections 

751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: July 13, 2007.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.
