continue to be equal to the companyspecific weighted-average dumping 

margin established for the company in 

the most recently completed segment 

(except, if the rate is de minimis, i.e.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with section 751(a)(2) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act), Commerce is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on strontium 

chromate from France.1 On May 6, 2020, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

251.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated the 

administrative review of the Order 

covering SNCZ, the only company 

requested for review.2 For a complete 

description of the events between the 

initiation of this review and these 

preliminary results, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.3

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the Order 

are strontium chromate from France. 

The merchandise subject to review is 

currently classifiable in the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS) under subheading 

2841.50.9100. Subject merchandise may 

also enter under HTSUS subheading 

3212.90.0050. For a full description of 

the scope of this Order, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.4

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this review in 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Act. We calculated export price and 

constructed export price in accordance 

with section 772 of the Act. We 

calculated normal value in accordance 

with section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying these 

preliminary results, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached as an

Assessment Rates 

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

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

Commerce will determine, 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. Commerce 

intends to issue assessment instructions 

to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the 

date of publication of the final results of 

this administrative 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). 

If SNCZ’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is not de minimis (i.e., less than 

0.50 percent), upon completion of the 

final results, Commerce intends to 

calculate importer-specific assessment 

rates on the basis of the ratio of the total 

amount of dumping calculated for each 

importer’s examined sales to the total 

entered value of those sales. Where we 

do not have entered values for all U.S. 

sales to a particular importer, we will 

calculate an importer-specific, per-unit 

assessment rate on the basis of the ratio 

of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the importer’s examined 

sales to the total quantity of those sales.5

To determine whether an importerspecific, per-unit assessment rate is de 

minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(2), we also will calculate an 

importer-specific ad valorem ratio based 

on estimated entered values. Where 

either SNCZ’s weighted-average 

dumping margin is zero or de minimis, 

or an importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.6 For entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

produced by SNCZ for which it did not 

know its merchandise was destined for 

the United States, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate such entries at the all-others 

rate 7 if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.8

The final results of this review shall 

be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by the final results 

of this review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable.9

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 date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided for 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) 

The cash deposit rate for SNCZ will be 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this review (except, if that rate is de 

minimis, then the cash deposit rate will 

be zero); (2) for merchandise exported 

by producers or exporters not covered in 

this review but covered in a prior 

segment of the proceeding, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently-completed segment of this 

proceeding in which they were 

reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 

covered in this review or the underlying 

LTFV investigation but the producer is, 

then the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate established for the most recentlycompleted segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of the merchandise; 

and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be 32.16 percent, the all-others rate 

established in the LTFV investigation.10

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice.

Opportunity To Request a Hearing

performed for these preliminary results 

of review to interested parties within

Commerce intends to hold the hearing 

at a date and time to be determined.17

Final Results of Review

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

the issues raised in any written briefs, 

not later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, 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 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 1, 2020, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

opportunity to request an administrative 

review of the AD order on PET film 

from Taiwan.1 On July 27, 2020, 

Polyplex USA LLC (Polyplex USA), a 

domestic producer and interested party, 

requested a review of Nan Ya, SMTC 

and SSFC.2 On July 30, 2020, the 

petitioners 3 requested a review of Nan 

Ya and SMTC.4 Nan Ya self-requested 

an administrative review of its sales on 

July 31, 2020.5 On September 3, 2020, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce published a 

notice of initiation of administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on PET Film from Taiwan.6 On 

December 2, 2020, Polyplex USA 

withdrew its request for an 

administrative review of entries of PET 

film for all of the companies that it 

requested be reviewed in this 

administrative review period: Nan Ya, 

SSFC and SMTC.7

On September 30, 2020, SMTC and 

SSFC each claimed that they did not sell 

or export any subject merchandise to the 

United States during the POR.8 On 

November 24, 2020, Commerce 

uploaded entry data on the record of the 

administrative review.9 On December 1, 

2020, SMTC submitted comments 

explaining and documentation showing 

that neither SMTC nor SSFC had 

produced subject merchandise during 

the POR or three months prior to the 

POR.10 No rebuttal comments were 

submitted. On January 7, 2021, 

Commerce sent a no shipment inquiry 

for SMTC and SSFC to U.S Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP).11 On June 7, 

2021, CBP replied that it found no 

evidence of shipments from SMTC and 

SSFC during the POR.12

On December 11, 2020, Commerce 

issued its initial questionnaire to Nan 

Ya.13 Between January 4, 2021 and 

January 21, 2021,14 Nan Ya submitted 

its responses to section A and sections 

B through D of the questionnaire. On 

June 16, 2021, Commerce issued a 

supplemental questionnaire to Nan 

Ya.15 On June 30, 2021, Nan Ya 

submitted its supplemental 

questionnaire response.16

On March 25, 2021, in accordance 

with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 

19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), Commerce 

extended the due date for the 

preliminary results by 60 days (from 

April 2, 2020, to June 2, 2021).17 On 

June 1, 2021, we extended the deadline 

by an additional 30 days.18 On July 2, 

2021, we extended the deadline until 

July 30, 2021.19

Scope of the Order
