Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce will disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with the final results of a review to 

interested parties within five days of the 

date of publication of the notice of final 

results in the Federal Register.6

However, because Commerce made no 

change to the preliminary weightedaverage dumping margin calculation for 

Interpipe, there are no calculations to 

disclose. 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with these 

final results of review.7 For Interpipe, 

we will calculate importer-specific 

assessment rates on the basis of the ratio 

of the total amount of antidumping 

duties calculated for each importer’s 

examined sales and the total entered 

value of the sales, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is 

not zero or de minimis, Commerce will 

instruct CBP to collect the appropriate 

duties at the time of liquidation. 

Consistent with Commerce’s 

assessment practice, for entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

produced by Interpipe for which it did 

not know that the merchandise was 

destined for the United States, 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.8

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the 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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 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 Interpipe will be 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in these final results; 

(2) for previously reviewed or 

investigated companies not listed above, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific rate published for 

the most recently completed segment of 

this proceeding in which the company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review or in a prior 

segment of the proceeding, but the 

producer was covered, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate established for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be the all-others rate of 

7.47 percent established in the lessthan-fair-value investigation.9

These cash 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 Commerce’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 an 

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 the return or 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 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 26, 2023, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results and 

invited interested parties to comment.1

This review covers two respondents: 

Nan Ya Plastics Corporation (Nan Ya); 

and Shinkong Materials Technology 

Corporation (SMTC)/Shinkong 

Synthetic Fibers Corporation (SSFC). On 

July 26, 2023, we received a case brief 

from DuPont Teijin Films, Mitsubishi 

Chemical America, Inc.—Polyester Film 

Division, and SK Microworks America, 

Inc. (collectively, the petitioners).2 On 

August 2, 2023, we received a rebuttal 

brief from Nan Ya.3 On October 23, 

2023, we extended the deadline for 

these final results to December 14, 

2023.4 For a complete description of the 

events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.5

Scope of the Order 6

The products covered by this Order 

are polyethylene terephthalate film, 

sheet, and strip (PET film) from Taiwan. 

For a full description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

We address the issue raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

issues addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is included in 

the appendix to 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 https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, Commerce 

determined that SMTC and its affiliate 

SSFC had no shipments of PET film 

during the POR, based on a response of 

the U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to Commerce’s no-shipment 

inquiry, as well as certifications and 

supporting documentation provided by 

SMTC/SSFC.7 We received no 

comments from any interested party on 

our preliminary finding. As there is no 

information on the record that calls into 

question the finding in the Preliminary 

Results, we continue to find in the final 

results of this review that SMTC/SSFC 

had no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR. 

Final Results of Review 

As a result of this review, Commerce 

determines that the following weightedaverage dumping margin exists for the 

period July 1, 2021, through June 30, 

2022: 

Producer/exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Nan Ya Plastics Corporation ...... 0.00 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with these final results of review to 

interested parties within five days after 

public announcement of the final results 

or, if there is no public announcement, 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce has determined, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. Because we calculated a zero 

percent margin in the final results of 

this review for Nan Ya, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212 we will instruct 

CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

In addition, as Commerce continues to 

find that SMTC/SSFC did not have any 

shipments of subject merchandise 

during the POR, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate any suspended entries of 

subject merchandise associated with 

SMTC/SSFC at the all-others rate. 

Commerce intends to issue 

appropriate assessment instructions 

directly to CBP no earlier than 35 days 

after the date of publication of the final 

results of this administrative review in 

the Federal Register. If a timely 

summons is filed at the U.S. Court of 

International Trade, the assessment 

instructions will direct CBP not to 

liquidate relevant entries until the time 

for parties to file a request for a statutory 

injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 

days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided for by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for Nan Ya will be zero, the 

rate established in the final results of 

this review; (2) for previously reviewed 

or investigated companies not covered 

in this review, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company specific rate 

published for the most recent period; (3) 

if the exporter is not a firm covered in 

this or any previous review or in 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 period 

for the manufacturer of the 

merchandise; and (4) if neither the 

exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm 

covered in this or any previous review 

or the LTFV investigation, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the allothers rate of 2.40 percent, which is the 

all-others rate established by Commerce 

in the LTFV investigation.8 These cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 3, 2023, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

Preliminary Determination in this LTFV 

investigation.1 Commerce invited 

parties to comment on the Preliminary 

Determination.2

For a complete description of the 

events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Determination, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.3 The 

Issues and Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is made available 

to the public electronically via 

Enforcement and Compliance’s

the Issues and Decision Memorandum 

can be accessed directly at https://

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are pressure washers from 

China. For a complete description of the 

scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

During this LTFV investigation, 

Commerce received scope comments 

from interested parties. Commerce 

issued a Preliminary Scope 

Memorandum to address the comments 

and set aside a period of time for parties 

to address scope issues in scope-specific 

case and rebuttal briefs.4 We received 

comments from interested parties on the 

Preliminary Scope Memorandum, 

which we addressed in the Final Scope 

Memorandum.5 We did not make any 

changes to the scope of the investigation 

from the scope published in the 

Preliminary Determination, as provided 

in Appendix I. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties in this 

investigation are addressed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum and are 

listed in Appendix II of this notice. 

Final Affirmative Determination of 

Critical Circumstances 

For the Preliminary Determination, in 

accordance with section 733(e)(1) of the 

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

and 19 CFR 351.206(c)(1), Commerce 

preliminarily found that critical 

circumstances exist with respect to 

imports of pressure washers exported by 

Jiangu Jianghuai Engine Co., Ltd. (JD 

Power) and the China-wide entity.6

No parties submitted comments 

regarding this finding. Thus, our 

determination of critical circumstances 

is unchanged for the final 

determination. Accordingly, pursuant to 

section 735(a)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.206, we continue to find that 

critical circumstances exist for JD Power 

and the China-wide entity. 

Regarding the companies receiving a 

separate rate, we preliminarily found 

that critical circumstances do not exist.7

For the final determination, we continue 

to find that the variance of shipments 

between the base and comparison 

period is explained by seasonal trends 

and, therefore, consistent with our 

practice,8 we continue to find that 

critical circumstances do not exist 

regarding the separate rate companies. 

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct an 

on-site verification of the information 

relied upon in making its final 

determination. However, from August 

20 through 22, 2023, we took additional 

steps, in lieu of an on-site verification 

to verify the information relied upon in
