SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 11, 2013, Commerce 

published its antidumping duty order 

on drawn stainless steel sinks from 

China.1 On March 5, 2018, Commerce 

published the notice of initiation of the 

first sunset review of the antidumping 

duty order on drawn stainless steel 

sinks from China pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Act.2 On March 16, 2018, 

Commerce received a notice of intent to 

participate from Elkay Manufacturing 

Company (Elkay), a domestic interested 

party, within the deadline specified in 

19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).3 Elkay claimed 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act as a producer of 

drawn stainless steel sinks in the United 

States. 

On April 2, 2018, Commerce received 

an adequate substantive response to the 

notice of initiation from Elkay within 

the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3)(i).4 We received no 

substantive responses from respondent 

interested parties with respect to the 

order covered by this sunset review. 

On April 10, 2018, Commerce notified 

the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (ITC) that it did not receive 

an adequate substantive response from 

respondent interested parties.5 As a 

result, pursuant to 751(c)(3)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), 

Commerce conducted an expedited 

(120-day) sunset review of the 

antidumping duty order on drawn 

stainless steel sinks from China. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

includes drawn stainless steel sinks 

with single or multiple drawn bowls, 

with or without drain boards, whether 

finished or unfinished, regardless of 

type of finish, gauge, or grade of 

stainless steel. Mounting clips, 

fasteners, seals, and sound-deadening 

pads are also covered by the scope of 

this order if they are included within 

the sales price of the drawn stainless 

steel sinks.6 For purposes of this scope 

definition, the term ‘‘drawn’’ refers to a 

manufacturing process using metal 

forming technology to produce a smooth 

basin with seamless, smooth, and 

rounded corners. Drawn stainless steel 

sinks are available in various shapes 

and configurations and may be 

described in a number of ways 

including flush mount, top mount, or 

undermount (to indicate the attachment 

relative to the countertop). Stainless 

steel sinks with multiple drawn bowls 

that are joined through a welding 

operation to form one unit are covered 

by the scope of the order. Drawn 

stainless steel sinks are covered by the 

scope of the order whether or not they 

are sold in conjunction with non-subject 

accessories such as faucets (whether 

attached or unattached), strainers, 

strainer sets, rinsing baskets, bottom 

grids, or other accessories. 

Excluded from the scope of the order 

are stainless steel sinks with fabricated 

bowls. Fabricated bowls do not have 

seamless corners, but rather are made by 

notching and bending the stainless steel, 

and then welding and finishing the 

vertical corners to form the bowls. 

Stainless steel sinks with fabricated 

bowls may sometimes be referred to as 

‘‘zero radius’’ or ‘‘near zero radius’’ 

sinks. The products covered by this 

order are currently classified in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) under statistical 

reporting number 7324.10.0000 and 

7324.10.0010. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of the 

order is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in this sunset review 

are addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum,7 which is hereby 

adopted by this notice. The issues 

discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum are the likelihood of 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and the magnitude of the dumping 

margin likely to prevail if the order were 

revoked. 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 http://access.trade.gov, and to all in 

the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 

of the main Department of Commerce 

building. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

on the internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn. The signed 

Issues and Decision Memorandum and 

the electronic version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Final Results of Review 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 

752(b) of the Act, Commerce determines 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

order on drawn stainless steel sinks 

from China would be likely to lead to 

the continuation or recurrence of 

dumping and that the magnitude of the 

dumping margins likely to prevail 

would be weighted-average dumping 

margins up to 76.53 percent.8

Fine Denier Polyester Staple Fiber 

From the People’s Republic of China,

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) and the 

International Trade Commission (ITC), 

Commerce is issuing antidumping duty 

orders on fine denier polyester staple 

fiber (fine denier PSF) from the People’s 

Republic of China (China), India, the 

Republic of Korea (Korea), and Taiwan. 

DATES: Applicable July 20, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 735(a), 

735(d), and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.210(c), on May 30, 2018, Commerce 

published its affirmative final 

determinations in the less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigations of fine 

denier PSF from China, India, Korea and 

Taiwan.1 On July 13, 2018, the ITC 

notified Commerce of its affirmative 

final determinations that an industry in 

the United States is materially injured 

within the meaning of section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of 

LTFV imports of fine denier PSF from 

China, India, Korea, and Taiwan.2

Scope of the Orders 

The product covered by these orders 

is fine denier PSF from China, India, 

Korea, and Taiwan. For a complete 

description of the scope of these orders, 

see the Appendix to this notice. 

Antidumping Duty Orders 

In accordance with sections 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the Act, the 

ITC notified Commerce of its final 

determinations in these investigations, 

in which it found that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured by 

reason of imports of fine denier PSF 

from China, India, Korea, and Taiwan.3

Therefore, in accordance with section 

735(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is 

issuing these antidumping duty orders. 

Because the ITC determined that 

imports of fine denier PSF from China, 

India, Korea, and Taiwan are materially 

injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated 

entries of such merchandise from China, 

India, Korea, and Taiwan, entered or 

withdrawn from warehouse for 

consumption, are subject to the 

assessment of antidumping duties. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will 

direct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, antidumping 

duties equal to the amount by which the 

normal value of the merchandise 

exceeds the export price (or constructed 

export price) of the merchandise, for all 

relevant entries of fine denier PSF from 

China, India, Korea, and Taiwan. With 

the exception of entries occurring after 

the expiration of the provisional 

measures period and before publication 

of the ITC’s final affirmative injury 

determinations, as further described 

below, antidumping duties will be 

assessed on unliquidated entries of fine 

denier PSF from China, India, Korea, 

and Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

January 5, 2018, the date of publication 

of the preliminary determinations.4

Additionally, because the estimated 

weighted-average dumping for subject 

merchandise produced and exported by 

Tainan Spinning Co., Ltd. was 

determined to be zero in the 

investigation of fine denier PSF from 

Taiwan, and the estimated weightedaverage dumping for subject 

merchandise produced and exported by 

Toray Chemical Kora Inc. was 

determined to be zero in the 

investigation of fine denier PSF from 

Korea, Commerce is directing CBP to 

not suspend liquidation of entries of 

subject merchandise from these 

exporter/producer combinations for 

each of the respective orders. Entries of 

subject merchandise exported to the 

United States by any other producer and 

exporter combination are not entitled to 

this exclusion from suspension of 

liquidation and are subject to the 

applicable cash deposit rates noted 

below.
