SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 1, 2010, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on ribbons from 

Taiwan.1 On September 6, 2023, 

Commerce published in the Federal 

Register a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

Order for the POR.2 On November 15, 

2023, based on timely requests for 

review by Berwick Offray LLC and its 

wholly-owned subsidiary Lion Ribbon 

Company, LLC (the petitioners), and in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 

administrative review of the Order 

covering 59 exporters and/or 

producers.3 On January 26, 2024, the 

petitioners withdrew their request for an 

administrative review with respect to all 

companies for which Commerce 

initiated a review other than Hao 

Shyang Ind. Co. Ltd. (Hao Shyang) and 

Lung Che Ribbons Enterprises Co. Ltd. 

(Lung Che).4 On May 10, 2024, 

Commerce extended the time period for 

issuing the preliminary results of this 

review until September 27, 2024.5 On 

July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain 

deadlines in this administrative 

proceeding by seven days.6 The 

deadline for the preliminary results is 

now October 4, 2024. For a complete 

description of the events that followed 

the initiation of this review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.7

Scope of the Order 

The products subject to the Order are 

narrow woven ribbons with woven 

selvedge from Taiwan. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.8

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) 

and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). Pursuant to sections 

776(a) and (b) of the Act, Commerce 

preliminarily relied entirely upon facts 

otherwise available with adverse 

inferences for Hao Shyang and Lung 

Che. For a complete description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached in Appendix 

I of this notice. The Preliminary 

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 Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is available at https://

access.trade.gov/public/FRNotices

ListLayout.aspx. 

Rescission of Review, in Part 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if a party who requested the review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. On 

January 26, 2024, the petitioners timely 

withdrew their request for an 

administrative review with respect to all 

companies for which a review was 

requested other than Hao Shyang and 

Lung Che.9 Accordingly, because no 

other parties requested a review of these 

companies, we are rescinding this 

administrative review, in part, with 

respect to the 57 companies listed in 

Appendix II. The administrative review 

remains active with respect to the 

mandatory respondents, Hao Shyang 

and Lung Che. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margin exists for the 

period September 1, 2022, through 

August 31, 2023: 

Producer or exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce discloses to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with a 

preliminary results finding within five 

days of any public announcement or, if 

there is no public announcement, 

within five days of the date of 

publication of the notice of preliminary 

results in the Federal Register, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

However, because Commerce 

preliminarily applied total adverse facts 

available (AFA) to the two individually 

examined companies subject to this this 

review, in accordance with section 776 

of the Act, there are no calculations to 

disclose. 

Public Comment 

Interested parties may submit case 

briefs to Commerce no later than 30 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice.10 Rebuttal briefs, limited to 

issues raised in the case briefs, may be

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their brief that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this 

investigation, we instead request that 

interested parties provide at the 

beginning of their briefs a public, 

executive summary for each issue raised 

in their briefs.13 Further, we request that 

interested parties limit their executive 

summary of each issue to no more than 

450 words, not including citations. We 

intend to use the executive summaries 

as the basis of the comment summaries 

included in the issues and decision 

memorandum that will accompany the 

final determination in this investigation. 

We request that interested parties 

include footnotes for relevant citations 

in the executive summary of each issue. 

Note that Commerce has amended 

certain of its requirements pertaining to 

the service of documents in 19 CFR 

351.303(f).14

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, within 30 days after the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Requests should contain the party’s 

name, address, and telephone number, 

the number of participants, whether any 

participant is a foreign national, and a 

list of issues to be discussed. If a request 

for a hearing is made, Commerce 

intends to hold a hearing at a time and 

date to be determined.15 Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. All submissions, 

including case and rebuttal briefs, as 

well as hearing requests, should be filed 

using ACCESS.16 An electronically-filed 

document must be received successfully 

in its entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on the established 

deadline. 

Assessment Rates 

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

Act, upon completion of the final results 

of administrative review, Commerce 

shall determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review.17

For the companies for which this 

review is being rescinded, in part, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. Antidumping duties shall be 

assessed at rates equal to the cash 

deposit rate for estimated antidumping 

duties required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). With respect to the 

recission of this review, in part, 

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register. 

For companies subject to this review, 

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 upon 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the notice of final results of 

administrative review for all shipments 

of ribbons from Taiwan entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication as provided for by section 

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

deposit rate for Hao Shyang and Lung 

Che will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in 

the final results of this review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by a company 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 or another completed segment of 

this proceeding, but the producer is, 

then the cash deposit rate will be the 

company-specific rate established for 

the completed segment for the most 

recent period for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other manufacturers or 

exporters will continue to be 4.37 

percent, the all-others rate determined 

in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.18 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless the deadline is otherwise 

extended, Commerce intends to issue 

the final results of this administrative 

review, including the results of its 

analysis of the issues raised by 

interested parties in written briefs, 

within 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(1). 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

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 and/or countervailing 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties, and/or an increase in the amount 

of antidumping duties by the amount of 

countervailing duties.19

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results in accordance with 

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

and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 

351.221(b)(4).
