SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Scope.— 

For purposes of these investigations, 

Commerce has defined the subject 

merchandise as certain plastic 

decorative ribbon having a width 

(measured at the narrowest span of the 

ribbon) of less than or equal to four (4) 

inches in actual measurement, 

including but not limited to ribbon 

wound onto itself; a spool, a core or a 

tube (with or without flanges); attached 

to a card or strip; wound into a keg- or 

egg-shaped configuration; made into 

bows, bow-like items, or other shapes or 

configurations; and whether or not 

packaged or labeled for retail sale. The 

subject merchandise is typically made 

of substrates of polypropylene, but may 

be made in whole or in part of any type 

of plastic, including without limitation, 

plastic derived from petroleum products 

and plastic derived from cellulose 

products. Unless the context otherwise 

clearly indicates, the word ‘‘ribbon’’ 

used in the singular includes the plural 

and the plural ‘‘ribbons’’ includes the 

singular. 

The subject merchandise includes 

ribbons comprised of one or more layers 

of substrates made, in whole or in part, 

of plastics adhered to each other, 

regardless of the method used to adhere 

the layers together, including without 

limitation, ribbons comprised of layers 

of substrates adhered to each other 

through a lamination process. Subject 

merchandise also includes ribbons 

comprised of (a) one or more layers of 

substrates made, in whole or in part, of 

plastics adhered to (b) one or more 

layers of substrates made, in whole or in 

part, of non-plastic materials, including, 

without limitation, substrates made, in 

whole or in part, of fabric. 

The ribbons subject to these 

investigations may be of any color or 

combination of colors (including 

without limitation, ribbons that are 

transparent, translucent or opaque) and 

may or may not bear words or images, 

including without limitation, those of a 

holiday motif. The subject merchandise 

includes ribbons with embellishments 

and/or treatments, including, without 

limitation, ribbons that are printed, hotstamped, coated, laminated, flocked, 

crimped, die-cut, embossed (or that 

otherwise have impressed designs, 

images, words or patterns), and ribbons 

with holographic, metallic, glitter or 

iridescent finishes. 

Subject merchandise includes ‘‘pullbows’’ an assemblage of ribbons 

connected to one another, folded flat, 

and equipped with a means to form 

such ribbons into the shape of a bow by 

pulling on a length of material affixed 

to such assemblage, and ‘‘pre-notched’’ 

bows, an assemblage of notched ribbon 

loops arranged one inside the other with 

the notches in alignment and affixed to 

each other where notched, and which 

the end user forms into a bow by 

separating and spreading the loops 

circularly around the notches, which 

form the center of the bow. Subject 

merchandise includes ribbons that are 

packaged with non-subject 

merchandise, including ensembles that 

include ribbons and other products, 

such as gift wrap, gift bags, gift tags and/ 

or other gift packaging products. The 

ribbons are covered by the scope of 

these investigations; the ‘‘other 

products’’ (i.e., the other, non-subject 

merchandise included in the ensemble) 

are not covered by the scope of these 

investigations. 

Excluded from the scope of these 

investigations are the following: (1) 

Ribbons formed exclusively by weaving 

plastic threads together; (2) ribbons that 

have metal wire in, on, or along the 

entirety of each of the longitudinal 

edges of the ribbon; (3) ribbons with an 

adhesive coating covering the entire 

span between the longitudinal edges of 

the ribbon for the entire length of the 

ribbon; (4) ribbon formed into a bow 

without a tab or other means for 

attaching the bow to an object using 

adhesives, where the bow has: (a) An 

outer layer that is either flocked or made 

of fabric, and (b) a flexible metal wire 

at the base which permits attachment to 

an object by twist-tying; (5) elastic 

ribbons, meaning ribbons that elongate 

when stretched and return to their 

original dimension when the stretching 

load is removed; (6) ribbons affixed as 

a decorative detail to non-subject 

merchandise, such as a gift bag, gift box, 

gift tin, greeting card or plush toy, or 

affixed (including by tying) as a 

decorative detail to packaging 

containing non subject merchandise; (7) 

ribbons that are (a) affixed to nonsubject merchandise as a working 

component of such non-subject 

merchandise, such as where the ribbon 

comprises a book marker, bag cinch, or 

part of an identity card holder, or (b) 

affixed (including by tying) to nonsubject merchandise as a working 

component that holds or packages such 

non-subject merchandise or attaches 

packaging or labeling to such nonsubject merchandise, such as a ‘‘belly 

band’’ around a pair of pajamas, a pair 

of socks or a blanket; (8) imitation raffia 

made of plastics having a thickness not 

more than one (1) mil when measured 

in an unfolded/untwisted state; and (9) 

ribbons in the form of bows having a 

diameter of less than seven-eighths (7⁄8) 

of an inch, or having a diameter of more 

than 16 inches, based on actual 

measurement. For purposes of this 

exclusion, the diameter of a bow is 

equal to the diameter of the smallest 

circular ring through which the bow 

will pass without compressing the bow. 

The scope of these investigations is 

not intended to include shredded 

plastic film or shredded plastic strip, in 

each case where the shred does not 

exceed 5 mm in width and does not 

exceed 18 inches in length, imported in 

bags.

the antidumping duty investigation are 

any products covered by the existing 

antidumping duty order on 

polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet, 

and strip (PET film) from the People’s 

Republic of China (China). See

pursuant to sections 705(b) and 731(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.

which constitute subsidies within the 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
