Low Melt Polyester Staple Fiber From 

the Republic of Korea and Taiwan: 

Continuation of Antidumping Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) orders on low melt polyester staple 

fiber (low melt PSF) from the Republic 

of Korea (Korea) and Taiwan would 

likely lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of dumping and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, Commerce is publishing a notice 

of continuation of these AD orders. 

DATES: Applicable December 19, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 16, 2018, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD orders on low melt PSF from Korea 

and Taiwan.1 On July 3, 2023, the ITC 

instituted,2 and Commerce initiated,3

the first sunset review of the Orders, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As 

a result of its reviews, Commerce 

determined that revocation of the 

Orders would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

and therefore, notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

likely to prevail should the Orders be 

revoked.4

On December 19, 2023, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, 

that revocation of the Orders would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise subject to the 

Orders is synthetic staple fibers, not 

carded or combed, specifically bicomponent polyester fibers having a 

polyester fiber component that melts at 

a lower temperature than the other 

polyester fiber component (low melt 

PSF). The scope includes bi-component 

polyester staple fibers of any denier or 

cut length. The subject merchandise 

may be coated, usually with a finish or 

dye, or not coated. 

Low melt PSF is classifiable under the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheading 

5503.20.0015. Although the HTSUS 

subheading is provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of the Orders is 

dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby 

orders the continuation of the Orders. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD cash deposits at 

the rates in effect at the time of entry for 

all imports of subject merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Orders will be December 19, 

2023.6 Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), 

Commerce intends to initiate the next 

five-year reviews of the Orders not later 

than 30 days prior to fifth anniversary 

of the date of the last determination by 

the ITC. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction 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 terms of an APO is a 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These five-year (sunset) reviews and 

this notice are in accordance with 

sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act 

and published in accordance with 

section 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4).

description of the scope of the Order is 

contained in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs filed by parties in this 

administrative review are addressed in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum 

and are listed 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

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record and 

the comments received from interested 

parties regarding the Preliminary 

Results, and for the reasons explained in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

we made certain changes to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

calculation for CPW for the final results 

of review.10

Final Results of Review 

As a result of this review, we 

determine that the following weightedaverage dumping margin exists for the 

period May 1, 2021, through April 30, 

2022: 

Producer/exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin

S.A .......................................... 0.00 

Disclosure 

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 the notice of final results 

in the Federal Register, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

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 the 

final results of this review. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we 

calculated importer-specific ad valorem 

duty assessment rates based on the ratio 

of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for each importer’s examined 

sales and the total entered value of those 

sales. Where either the respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis, within the meaning 

of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importerspecific assessment rate is de minimis 

(i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 

entries without regard to antidumping 

duties. 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by CPW for 

which it did not know that its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigation of 10.26 

percent ad valorem,11 if there is no rate 

for the intermediate company(ies) 

involved in the transaction. 

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 

Upon publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, the following cash 

deposit requirements will be effective 

for all shipments of 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) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rate for CPW will be zero, 

as established in these final results of 

the review; (2) for merchandise exported 

by producers or exporters not covered in 

this review but covered in a prior 

completed segment of the proceeding, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific rate published in 

the completed segment for the most 

recent period; (3) if the exporter is not 

a firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original LTFV 

investigation but the producer has been 

covered in a prior completed segment of 

this proceeding, then the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate established in the 

completed segment for the most recent 

period for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 10.26 percent, the 

all-others rate established in the LTFV 

investigation for this proceeding.12

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
