SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 8, 2023, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of 

this administrative review and invited 

parties to comment on those results.1

The review covers one mandatory 

respondent, Euro SME Sdn. Bhd. and 

Euro Nature Green Sdn. Bhd. (Nature 

Green) (collectively, Euro SME). For a 

summary of the events that occurred 

since the Preliminary Results, as well as 

a full discussion of the issues raised by 

parties for these final results, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.2 On 

January 3, 2024, we extended the 

deadline for these final results to 

February 6, 2024.3 Commerce 

conducted this administrative review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order is polyethylene retail carrier bags) 

from Malaysia, which may be referred to 

as t-shirt sacks, merchandise bags, 

grocery bags, or checkout bags. Imports 

of merchandise included within the 

scope of this antidumping duty order 

are currently classifiable under 

statistical category 3923.21.0085 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). This 

subheading may also cover products 

that are outside the scope of this 

antidumping duty order. Although the 

HTSUS subheading is provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this 

antidumping duty order is dispositive. 

For a full description of the scope of the 

order, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Analysis of the Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs are addressed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. A 

list of the issues that parties raised and 

to which we responded in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is attached 

as the appendix to this notice. The 

Issues and Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is available 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic 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. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received from interested 

parties, a review of the record, and for 

the reasons explained in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, we made 

certain changes to the margin 

calculation for Euro SME.4 For a 

detailed discussion of these changes, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Final Results of Review 

Commerce determines that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margin exists for the period August 1, 

2021, through July 31, 2022: 

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed for these final results in this 

review 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)(C) of the 

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

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), where the respondent 

reported the entered value of its U.S. 

sales, we calculated importer-specific 

antidumping duty assessment rates by 

aggregating the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the examined sales of 

each importer and dividing each of 

these amounts by the total entered value 

associated with those sales. Where the 

respondent did not report entered value, 

we calculated a per-unit assessment rate 

for each importer by dividing the total

Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).

Retail Carrier Bags from Malaysia, 69 FR 48203 

(August 9, 2004). 

amount of dumping calculated for the 

examined sales made to that importer by 

the total quantity associated with those 

sales. To determine whether an 

importer-specific, per-unit assessment 

rate is de minimis, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also calculated 

an importer-specific ad valorem ratio 

based on estimated entered values. 

Where either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. 

Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’ 

will apply to entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by Euro SME for which it did not know 

that the merchandise it sold to an 

intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading 

company, or exporter) was destined for 

the United States. In such instances, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

if there is rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.5

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 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 Euro SME will be 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this administrative 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 companyspecific rate published for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which the producer or 

exporter participated; (3) if the exporter 

is not a firm covered in this review, a 

prior review, or the original 

investigation, but the producer has been 

covered in a prior complete segment of 

this proceeding, then the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate established for the 

most recent period for the producer of 

the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other manufacturers or 

exporters will continue to be 84.94 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.6 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). Timely 

written notification of return/ 

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).
