SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 1, 2018, Commerce published the notice of initiation of 
the third sunset review of the antidumping duty order \1\ on certain 
folding gift boxes from China, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On February 16, 2018, Commerce 
received a notice of intent to participate from Harvard Folding Box 
Company, Inc. (Harvard) and P.S. Greetings, Inc. doing business as 
(d.b.a.) Fantus Paper Products (P.S. Greetings), hereinafter referred 
to as Domestic Interested Parties, within the deadline specified in 19 
CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ Domestic Interested Parties claimed interested 
party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as producers of the 
domestic like product.\4\ On November 3, 2017, Commerce received 
complete substantive responses from Domestic Interested Parties within 
the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\5\ We 
received no substantive response from any other domestic or respondent 
interested parties in this proceeding, nor was a hearing requested. As 
a result, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C), Commerce conducted 
an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the Order.

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the Order are certain folding gift boxes. 
Folding gift boxes are a type of folding or knock-down carton 
manufactured from paper or paperboard. Folding gift boxes are produced 
from a variety of recycled and virgin paper or paperboard materials, 
including, but not limited to, clay-coated paper or paperboard and 
kraft (bleached or unbleached) paper or paperboard. The scope of the 
Order excludes gift boxes manufactured from paper or paperboard of a 
thickness of more than 0.8 millimeters, corrugated paperboard, or paper 
mache. The scope also excludes those gift boxes for which no side of 
the box, when assembled, is at least nine inches in length.
    Folding gift boxes included in the scope are typically decorated 
with a holiday motif using various processes, including printing, 
embossing, debossing, and foil stamping, but may also be plain white or 
printed with a single color. The subject merchandise includes folding 
gift boxes, with or without handles, whether finished or unfinished, 
and whether in one-piece or multi-piece configuration. One-piece gift 
boxes are die-cut or otherwise formed so that the top, bottom, and 
sides form a single, contiguous unit. Two-piece gift boxes are those 
with a folded bottom and a folded top as separate pieces. Folding gift 
boxes are generally packaged in shrink-wrap, cellophane, or other 
packaging materials, in single or multi-box packs for sale to the 
retail customer. The scope excludes folding gift boxes that have a 
retailer's name, logo, trademark or similar company information printed 
prominently on the box's top exterior (such folding gift boxes are 
often known as ``not-for-resale'' gift boxes or ``give-away'' gift 
boxes and may be provided by department and specialty stores at no 
charge to their retail customers). The scope of the Order also excludes 
folding gift boxes where both the outside of the box is a single color 
and the box is not packaged in shrink-wrap, cellophane, other resin-
based packaging films, or paperboard.
    Imports of the subject merchandise are classified under Harmonized 
Tariff Schedules of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 4819.20.0040 
and 4819.50.4060. These subheadings also cover products that are 
outside the scope of the Order. Furthermore, although the HTSUS 
subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our 
written description of the scope of the Order is dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
    All issues raised in this sunset review, including the likelihood 
of continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude of the 
margins likely to prevail if the Order were revoked, are addressed in 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum,\6\ dated concurrently with, and 
hereby adopted by this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a 
public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and 
Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic 
Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Review
    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we 
determine that revocation of the Order on folding gift boxes from China 
would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, and 
that the magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail would be 
weighted-average dumping margins above de minimis.

notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or
