SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) is conducting an 

administrative review of the

polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet, 

and strip (PET Film) from Taiwan. The 

period of review (POR) is July 1, 2020,

covers the following producers and 

exporters from Taiwan: Nan Ya Plastics 

Corporation (Nan Ya); and Shinkong

(SMTC)/Shinkong Synthetic Fibers 

Corporation (SSFC). Commerce 

preliminarily determines that sales of 

subject merchandise have not been 

made below normal value (NV) by Nan 

Ya during the POR. In addition, we 

preliminarily find that SMTC/SSFC had 

no shipments during the POR. 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 1, 2021, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

opportunity 1 to request an 

administrative review of the AD order 

on PET film from Taiwan.2 On 

September 7, 2021, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce 

published a notice of initiation of an 

administrative review of the Order.3

On March 3, 2022, 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 

80 days until June 21, 2022.4 For a 

complete desciription of the events that 

followed the initiation of this review, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.5

A list of the topics included in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

included as the appendix to 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 can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is PET film. The PET film subject to the 

Order is currently classifiable under 

subheading 3920.62.00.90 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States. Although the HTSUS 

number is provided for convenience and 

for customs purposes, the written 

product description, available in the 

PDM, remains dispositive. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Based on U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection’s (CBP) response to 

Commerce’s no shipment inquiry as 

well the certifications and supporting 

documentation provided by SMTC/ 

SSFC6 in its no shipment certification, 

we preliminarily determine that SMTC/ 

SSFC had no shipments of the subject 

merchandise during the POR. Consistent 

with Commerce’s practice, we will not 

rescind the review with respect to 

SMTC/SSFC, but rather will complete 

the review and issue appropriate 

liquidation instructions to CBP based on 

the final results.7 For additional 

information regarding this 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.8

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(2) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). Export price is calculated in 

accordance with section 772 of the Act. 

NV is calculated in accordance with 

section 773 of the Act. For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying these preliminary results, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Meorandum. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of this review, Commerce 

preliminarily determines that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margin exists for the period July 1, 2020,

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed to 

interested parties to these preliminary 

results within five days of any public 

announcement or, if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), 

interested parties may submit case briefs 

no later than 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in the 

case briefs, may be filed no later than 

seven days after the date for filing case 

briefs.9 Parties who submit case or 

rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are 

encouraged to submit with each 

argument: (1) a statement of the issue; 

(2) a brief summary of the argument; 

and (3) a table of authorities.10

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the 

publication date of this notice. Requests 

should contain: (1) the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number; (2) the 

number of participants; and (3) a list of 

issues to be discussed. Issues raised in 

the hearing will be limited to those 

raised in the respective case briefs. If a 

hearing is requested, Commerce will 

notify interested parties of the hearing 

date and time. Parties should confirm by 

telephone the date and time of the 

hearing two days before the scheduled 

hearing date. 

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, unless 

extended, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of this 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. If a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or 

de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) 

in the final results of this review, we 

will calculate importer-specific ad 

valorem assessment rates on the basis of 

the ratio of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for an importer’s examined 

sales and the total entered value of such 

sales in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). Where either the 

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c), or an 

importer-specific rate is zero or de 

minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

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). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of PET film from Taiwan 

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 the company under 

review will be the rate established in the 

final results of this review (except, if the 

rate is zero or de minimis, no cash 

deposit will be required); (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recent period; (3) if the exporter is 

not a firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the less-than-fair value 

investigation, but the manufacturer is, 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recent period 

for the manufacturer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

is 2.40 percent.11 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results in accordance with 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
