Certain Glass Wine Bottles From Chile: 

Termination of Less-Than-Fair-Value 

Investigation 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: Based on a withdrawal of the 

antidumping duty (AD) petition on 

certain glass wine bottles from Chile by 

the U.S. Glass Producers Coalition (the 

petitioner), we are terminating this less 

than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation. 

DATES: Applicable December 30, 2024.

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 29, 2023, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

received an AD petition concerning 

imports of certain glass wine bottles 

from Chile, filed in proper form by the 

petitioner.1 On January 25, 2024, 

Commerce published the notice of 

initiation of this LTFV investigation.2

On August 9, 2024, Commerce 

published its preliminary determination 

in the LTFV investigation of certain 

glass wine bottles from Chile.3 On 

December 10, 2024, the petitioner 

submitted a letter withdrawing the AD 

Petition with respect to Chile.4 On 

December 16, 2024, Saverglass, Inc.; 

Saverglass S. de R.L. de C.V.; Fevisa 

Comercial S.A. de C.V.; Fevisa 

Industrial S.A. de C.V; Encore Glass; 

and TricorBraun Inc. (collectively, the 

interested parties) filed opposition to 

the petitioner’s withdrawal of the AD 

Petition with respect to Chile.5 On 

December 18, 2024, the petitioner filed 

a response to the interested parties’ 

opposition.6 On December 20, 2024, 

interested parties filed additional 

comments opposing termination of the 

investigation.7

Termination of the Investigation 

Section 351.207(b)(1) of Commerce’s 

regulations stipulates that the Secretary 

may terminate an investigation, 

provided it has concluded that 

termination of the investigation is in the 

public interest.8 After considering the 

information on the record of this 

proceeding, including the petitioner’s 

withdrawal letter, and the comments 

received from interested parties, 

Commerce has concluded that 

termination of this investigation is in 

the public interest. Accordingly, 

pursuant to section 734(a)(1)(A) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended and 19 

CFR 351.207(b)(1), we are terminating 

the LTFV investigation of certain glass 

wine bottles from Chile. 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In the Preliminary Determination, 

Commerce determined weightedaverage dumping margins for exporters 

of certain glass wine bottles from Chile 

that were above de minimis. Therefore, 

we instructed U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation 

of entries of certain glass wine bottles 

from Chile as of August 9, 2024, the date 

of publication of the Preliminary 

Determination.9 Because Commerce is 

terminating this LTFV investigation, we 

will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection to terminate suspension of 

liquidation and refund any cash 

deposits of estimated antidumping 

duties for entries of certain glass wine 

bottles from Chile. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibilities 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 the terms of an 

APO is a violation that is subject to 

sanction.

1See Regulations to Improve Administration and 

Enforcement of Antidumping and Countervailing 

Duty Laws, 86 FR 52300, 52316 (September 20, 

2021) (Final Rule) (‘‘It is our expectation that the 

Federal Register list will include, where 

appropriate, for each scope application the 

following data: (1) identification of the AD and/or 

CVD orders at issue; (2) a concise public summary 

of the product’s description, including the physical 

characteristics (including chemical, dimensional 

and technical characteristics) of the product; (3) the 

country(ies) where the product is produced and the 

country from where the product is exported; (4) the 

full name of the applicant; and (5) the date that the

2The products are basswood slat stock, basswood 

bottom rail stock, and basswood valance stock for 

use in the production of wooden slats for blinds, 

wooden bottom rails for blinds, and wooden 

valances for blinds (collectively, feedstock). Slat 

stock made from basswood that is cut to specific 

widths (nominally 1 inch or 2 inches, with actual 

widths being within tolerances) and specific 

thicknesses (nominally 0.110 inches, with actual 

widths being within tolerances). Bottom rail stock 

is cut to specific widths (nominally 1 inch or 2 

inches, with actual widths being within tolerances) 

and specific thicknesses (nominally 0.590 inches, 

with actual widths being within tolerances). 

Valance stock is cut to specific widths (nominally 

2.5 inches or 3.25 inches, with actual widths being 

within tolerances) and specific thicknesses 

(nominally 0.315 inches or 0.590 inches, with 

actual thicknesses being within tolerances). The 

feedstock stock lengths are between 20 inches and 

96 inches. The feedstock is covered with a UV 

protected finish on all surfaces except the ends. The 

feedstock is not finger-jointed. 3The products are cable display systems used to 

support and display visual media (photographs, 

artworks, etc.) and are composed of a steel cable 

that is anchored to a wall, ceiling, or floor, and the 

media is hung from the cable. Cable display systems 

can be categorized as: (a) suspended cable display 

kits, and (b) mounted cable display kits. Suspended 

cable display kits are cable display systems where 

one end of the steel cable is anchored onto the 

ceiling (or wall), and the other end of the cable is 

attached to the visual media on display. Mounted 

cable display kits are cable display systems where 

the steel cable is anchored at both ends, either onto 

the wall, ceiling, floor, and any combination 

thereof. Cable display systems are sold as complete 

kits, ready to be assembled and installed as 

imported, including all necessary components: steel 

cables, fittings milled from extruded aluminum, 

screws, anchors, and Allen wrenches. The products 

may have clear anodized or matte black for certain 

finishings, and may have different steel cable 

diameters, between 1/16’’ and 1/8’’. The products 

may have different steel cable lengths, including 

1.14 inches, 36 inches and 78 inches. 

4 In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(d)(2), within 

30 days after the filing of a scope ruling application, 

if Commerce determines that it intends to address 

the scope issue raised in the application in another 

segment of the proceeding (such as a circumvention 

inquiry under 19 CFR 351.226 or a covered 

merchandise inquiry under 19 CFR 351.227), it will 

notify the applicant that it will not initiate a scope 

inquiry, but will instead determine if the product 

is covered by the scope at issue in that alternative 

segment.

Notification to Interested Parties 

This list of scope ruling applications 

is not an identification of scope 

inquiries that have been initiated. In 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(d)(1), 

if Commerce has not rejected a scope 

ruling application nor initiated the 

scope inquiry within 30 days after the 

filing of the application, the application 

will be deemed accepted and a scope 

inquiry will be deemed initiated the 

following day—day 31.4 Commerce’s 

practice generally dictates that where a 

deadline falls on a weekend, Federal 

holiday, or other non-business day, the 

appropriate deadline is the next 

business day.5 Accordingly, if the 30th 

day after the filing of the application 

falls on a non-business day, the next 

business day will be considered the 

‘‘updated’’ 30th day, and if the 

application is not rejected or a scope 

inquiry initiated by or on that particular 

business day, the application will be 

deemed accepted and a scope inquiry 

will be deemed initiated on the next 

business day which follows the 

‘‘updated’’ 30th day.6

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.225(m)(2), if there are companion 

AD and CVD orders covering the same 

merchandise from the same country of 

origin, the scope inquiry will be 

conducted on the record of the AD 

proceeding. Further, please note that 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(m)(1), 

Commerce may either apply a scope 

ruling to all products from the same 

country with the same relevant physical 

characteristics, (including chemical, 

dimensional, and technical 

characteristics) as the product at issue, 

on a country-wide basis, regardless of 

the producer, exporter, or importer of 

those products, or on a companyspecific basis. 

For further information on procedures 

for filing information with Commerce 

through ACCESS and participating in 

scope inquiries, please refer to the 

Filing Instructions section of the Scope 

Ruling Application Guide, at https://

access.trade.gov/help/Scope_Ruling_

Guidance.pdf. Interested parties, apart 

from the scope ruling applicant, who 

wish to participate in a scope inquiry 

and be added to the public service list 

for that segment of the proceeding must 

file an entry of appearance in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.103(d)(1) 

and 19 CFR 351.225(n)(4). Interested 

parties are advised to refer to the case 

segment in ACCESS as well as 19 CFR 

351.225(f) for further information on the 

scope inquiry procedures, including the 

timelines for the submission of 

comments. 

Please note that this notice of scope 

ruling applications filed in AD and CVD 

proceedings may be published before 

any potential initiation, or after the 

initiation, of a given scope inquiry 

based on a scope ruling application 

identified in this notice. Therefore, 

please refer to the case segment on 

ACCESS to determine whether a scope 

ruling application has been accepted or 

rejected and whether a scope inquiry 

has been initiated. 

Interested parties who wish to be 

served scope ruling applications for a 

particular AD or CVD order may file a 

request to be included on the annual 

inquiry service list during the 

anniversary month of the publication of 

the AD or CVD order in accordance with

period of review (POR) from September 

1, 2021, through August 31, 2022, 

except for certain instances of 

inadvertent or inconsequential 

noncompliance. Commerce also 

determines that the 2019 Agreement met 

the applicable statutory requirements 

during the POR.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 10, 2023, Commerce 

published the preliminary results of this 

administrative review, and we invited 

interested parties to comment.1 On 

November 9, 2023, the Florida Tomato 

Exchange (FTE), a member of the U.S. 

petitioning industry, filed a case brief.2

On November 16, 2023, Ceuta and 

VALHPAC filed a joint rebuttal brief.3

Commerce extended the date for the 

publication of the final results until 

December 16, 2024.4 On December 9, 

2024, Commerce tolled the deadlines for 

all preliminary and final determinations 

by 90 days.5

Scope of 2019 Agreement 

The merchandise subject to this 2019 

Agreement is all fresh or chilled 

tomatoes (fresh tomatoes) which have 

Mexico as their origin, except for those 

tomatoes which are for processing. For 

purposes of this 2019 Agreement, 

processing is defined to include 

preserving by any commercial process, 

such as canning, dehydrating, drying, or 

the addition of chemical substances, or 

converting the tomato product into 

juices, sauces, or purees. In Appendix F 

of this 2019 Agreement, Commerce has 

outlined the procedure that Signatories 

must follow for selling subject 

merchandise for processing. Fresh 

tomatoes that are imported for cutting 

up, not further processing (e.g., 

tomatoes used in the preparation of 

fresh salsa or salad bars), are covered by 

this 2019 Agreement. Commercially 

grown tomatoes, both for the fresh 

market and for processing, are classified 

as Lycopersicon esculentum. Important 

commercial varieties of fresh tomatoes 

include common round, cherry, grape, 

plum, greenhouse, and pear tomatoes, 

all of which are covered by this 2019 

Agreement. Tomatoes imported from 

Mexico covered by this 2019 Agreement 

are classified under the following 

subheading of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedules of the United States 

(HTSUS), according to the season of 

importation: 0702. Although this 

HTSUS number is provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this 

Agreement is dispositive. 

A full description of the scope of the 

2019 Agreement is also contained in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis 

Commerce continues to find, based on 

record evidence, that the selected 

respondents, Ceuta and VALHPAC, 

were in compliance with the terms of 

the 2019 Agreement during the POR, 

with the exception of certain 

inconsequential or inadvertent noncompliance. Overall, Commerce finds 

that there have been no material or 

consequential violations of the 2019 

Agreement by the selected respondents 

during the POR. We also determine that 

the 2019 Agreement is meeting the 

applicable statutory requirements for a 

suspension agreement, e.g., preventing 

price suppression or undercutting, and 

effective monitoring is practicable. 

The issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs are addressed in the 

accompanying Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. The issues are identified 

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. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to APO of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction 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.
