(BOPP), polyester (PET), polyethylene 

(PE), nylon, or any film suitable for 

printing, or to an exterior ply of paper; 

printed; displaying, containing, or 

comprising three or more visible colors

including the color of the woven fabric; 

regardless of the type of printing process 

used; with or without lining; with or 

without handles; with or without

or press-to-close); whether finished or 

unfinished (e.g., whether or not closed 

on one end and whether or not in roll 

form, including, but not limited to, 

sheets, lay-flat, or formed in tubes); not 

exceeding one kilogram in actual 

weight. Laminated woven sacks 

produced in the Socialist Republic of 

Vietnam are subject to the scope 

regardless of the country of origin of the 

fabric used to make the sack. 

The scope of these orders excludes 

laminated woven sacks having each of 

the following physical characteristics: 

(1) no side greater than 24 inches, (2) 

weight less than 100 grams, (3) an open 

top that is neither sealable nor closable, 

the rim of which is hemmed or sewn 

around the entire circumference, (4) 

carry handles sewn on the open end, (5) 

side gussets, and (6) either a bottom 

gusset or a square or rectangular bottom. 

The excluded items with the abovementioned physical characteristics may 

be referred to as reusable shopping bags. 

Subject laminated woven sacks are 

currently classifiable under Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS) subheadings 6305.33.0040 and 

6305.33.0080. If entered with plastic 

coating on both sides of the fabric 

consisting of woven polypropylene strip 

and/or woven polyethylene strip, 

laminated woven sacks may be 

classifiable under HTSUS subheadings 

3923.21.0080, 3923.21.0095, and 

3923.29.0000. If entered not closed on

4602.90.0000. Although HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope 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, 

countervailable subsidies, and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), 

Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the Orders. U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD and CVD 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 November 20, 

2024.6 Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of 

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

Commerce intends to initiate the next 

sunset review of the Orders not later 

than 30 days prior to the fifth 

anniversary of the effective date of 

continuation. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 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 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 sanctionable violation.

this notice are in accordance with 

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

and published in accordance with

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised by the interested 

parties in their case briefs are addressed 

in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. The topics discussed and 

the issues raised by parties to which we 

responded in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum 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

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, we made changes to the net 

countervailable subsidy rates for 

Sgambaro SpA. (Sgambaro). For a 

discussion of these changes, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Act. For 

each of the subsidy programs found to 

be countervailable, we find that there is 

a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided 

financial contribution that gives rise to 

a benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.4 For a complete 

description of the methodology 

underlying all of Commerce’s 

conclusions, including our reliance, in 

part, on facts otherwise available, 

including adverse facts available, 

pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of 

the Act, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Final Results of the Administrative 

Review 

Commerce determines that the 

following net countervailable subsidy 

rates exist for the period January 1, 

2022, through December 31, 2022: 

Producer/exporter 

Subsidy rate 

(percent ad 

valorem)

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose 

calculations and analysis performed for 

these final results of review within five 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(2), Commerce has 

determined, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise covered 

by this review. Commerce intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after 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 

In accordance with section 751(a)(1) 

and (a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also 

intends to instruct CBP to collect cash 

deposits of estimated countervailing 

duties in the amounts shown for the 

companies listed above for shipments of 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of these final results of this 

administrative review. For all nonreviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to 

continue to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties at the 

all-others rate or the most recent 

company-specific rate applicable to the 

company, as appropriate. These cash 

deposit requirements, effective upon 

publication of these final results, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO)
