1Such commodity matchbooks are also referred 

to as ‘‘for resale’’ because they always enter into 

retail channels, meaning businesses that sell a 

general variety of tangible merchandise, e.g., 

convenience stores, supermarkets, dollar stores, 

drug stores and mass merchandisers. 

2The gross distinctions between commodity 

matchbooks and promotional matchbooks may be 

summarized as follows: (1) if it has no printing, or 

is printed with a generic message such as ‘‘Thank 

You’’ or a generic image such as the American Flag, 

or printed with national or regional store brands or 

corporate brands, it is commodity; (2) if it has 

printing, and the printing includes the name of a 

bar, restaurant, resort, hotel, club, cafe ́/coffee shop, 

grill, pub, eatery, lounge, casino, barbecue, or 

individual establishment prominently displayed on 

the matchbook cover, it is promotional. 

addressed in the most complete manner 

possible. 

For the reasons identified above, we 

are postponing the preliminary 

determination under section 

733(c)(1)(B) of the Act, by 50 days to no 

later than December 28, 2009. The 

deadline for the final determination will 

continue to be 75 days after the date of 

the preliminary determination, unless 

extended. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to sections 733(c)(2), 733(f) 

and 777(i) of the Act.

Notice of Final Determination of Sales 

at Less Than Fair Value: Commodity 

Matchbooks from India 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce 

SUMMARY: We determine that imports of 

commodity matchbooks are being, or are 

likely to be, sold in the United States at 

less than fair value (LTFV), as provided 

in section 735 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act). The estimated 

margins of sales at LTFV are shown in 

the ‘‘Final Determination’’ section of 

this notice. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 22, 2009.

482–3874, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 2, 2009, the Department 

published in the Federal Register the 

preliminary determination of sales at 

LTFV in the antidumping duty 

investigation of commodity matchbooks 

from India. See Commodity Matchbooks 

from India: Notice of Preliminary 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value and Postponement of Final 

Determination, 74 FR 26366 (June 2, 

2009) (Preliminary Determination). 

In June 2009, we verified the 

questionnaire responses of the sole 

respondent in this case, Triveni Safety 

Matches Pvt. Ltd. (Triveni), in 

accordance with section 782(i) of the 

Act. Although we provided interested 

parties an opportunity to comment on 

the Preliminary Determination and the 

Department’s verification findings, no 

interested party submitted a case brief. 

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation is October 

1, 2007, through September 30, 2008. 

This period corresponds to the four 

most recent fiscal quarters prior to the 

month of the filing of the petition. 

Scope of Investigation 

The scope of this investigation covers 

commodity matchbooks, also known as 

commodity book matches, paper 

matches or booklet matches.1

Commodity matchbooks typically, but 

do not necessarily, consist of twenty 

match stems which are usually made 

from paperboard or similar material 

tipped with a match head composed of 

any chemical formula. The match stems 

may be stitched, stapled, or otherwise 

fastened into a matchbook cover of any 

material, on which a striking strip 

composed of any chemical formula has 

been applied to assist in the ignition 

process. 

Commodity matchbooks included in 

the scope of this investigation may or 

may not contain printing. For example, 

they may have no printing other than 

the identification of the manufacturer or 

importer. Commodity matchbooks may 

also be printed with a generic message 

such as ‘‘Thank You’’ or a generic image 

such as the American Flag, with store 

brands (e.g., Kroger, 7–Eleven, Shurfine 

or Giant); product brands for national or 

regional advertisers such as cigarettes or 

alcoholic beverages; or with corporate 

brands for national or regional 

distributors (e.g., Penley Corp. or 

Diamond Brands). They all enter retail 

distribution channels. Regardless of the 

materials used for the stems of the 

matches and regardless of the way the 

match stems are fastened to the 

matchbook cover, all commodity 

matchbooks are included in the scope of 

this investigation. 

All matchbooks, including 

commodity matchbooks, typically 

comply with the United States 

Consumer Product Safety Commission 

(CPSC) Safety Standard for Matchbooks, 

codified at 16 CFR § 1202.1 et seq. 

The scope of this investigation 

excludes promotional matchbooks, often 

referred to as ‘‘not for resale,’’ or 

‘‘specialty advertising’’ matchbooks, as 

they do not enter into retail channels 

and are sold to businesses that provide 

hospitality, dining, drinking or 

entertainment services to their 

customers, and are given away by these 

businesses as promotional items. Such 

promotional matchbooks are 

distinguished by the physical 

characteristic of having the name and/ 

or logo of a bar, restaurant, resort, hotel, 

club, cafe ́/coffee shop, grill, pub, eatery, 

lounge, casino, barbecue or individual 

establishment printed prominently on 

the matchbook cover. Promotional 

matchbook cover printing also typically 

includes the address and the phone 

number of the business or establishment 

being promoted.2 Also excluded are all 

other matches that are not fastened into 

a matchbook cover such as wooden 

matches, stick matches, box matches, 

kitchen matches, pocket matches, penny 

matches, household matches, strike– 

anywhere matches (aka ‘‘SAW’’ 

matches), strike–on-box matches (aka 

‘‘SOB’’ matches), fireplace matches, 

barbeque/grill matches, fire starters, and 

wax matches. 

The merchandise subject to this 

investigation is properly classified 

under subheading 3605.00.0060 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). Subject 

merchandise may also enter under 

subheading 3605.00.0030 of the HTSUS. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

merchandise under investigation is 

dispositive. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our findings at verification, 

we have made certain changes to the 

margin calculations for Triveni. For a 

discussion of these changes, see the 

October 15, 2009, memorandum from 

Holly Phelps, Analyst, to the File, 

entitled, ‘‘Calculations Performed for 

Triveni Safety Matches Pvt. Ltd. for the 

Final Determination in the 2007–2008

- Triveni Safety Matches Pvt. Ltd.’’ 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i) of the 

Act, we verified the sales and cost 

information submitted by Triveni for 

use in our final determination. We used 

standard verification procedures 

including an examination of relevant 

accounting and production records, and 

original source documents provided by 

Triveni. Our sales and cost verification 

results are outlined in separate 

verification reports. See the June 24, 

2009, memorandum from Holly Phelps, 

Analyst, to James P. Maeder, Director, 

Office 2, entitled, ‘‘Verification of the 

Sales Response of Triveni Safety 

Matches Pvt. Ltd. (Triveni) in the Less– 

Than-Fair–Value Investigation on 

Commodity Matchbooks from India.’’ 

See also the July 16, 2009, 

memorandum from LaVonne Clark, 

Senior Accountant, to Neal Halper, 

Director, Office of Accounting, entitled, 

‘‘Verification of the Cost Response of 

Triveni Safety Matches Pvt., Ltd. in the 

Antidumping Duty Investigation of 

Commodity Matchbooks from India.’’ 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

Pursuant to 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we 

will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all entries of subject 

merchandise from India, entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after June 2, 2009, 

the date of publication of the 

preliminary determination in the 

Federal Register. CBP shall require a 

cash deposit or the posting of a bond 

equal to the estimated amount by which 

the normal value exceeds the U.S. price 

as shown below, adjusted for export 

subsidies found in the final 

determination of the companion 

countervailing duty investigation of this 

merchandise. Specifically, consistent 

with our practice, where the product 

under investigation is also subject to a 

concurrent countervailing duty 

investigation, we instruct CBP to require 

a cash deposit or posting of a bond 

equal to the amount by which the 

normal value exceeds the export price 

or constructed export price, as indicated 

below, less the amount of the 

countervailing duty determined to 

constitute an export subsidy. See, e.g., 

Notice of Final Determination of Sales 

at Less Than Fair Value: Carbazole 

Violet Pigment 23 From India, 69 FR 

67306, 67307 (Nov. 17, 2004). 

Accordingly, for cash deposit 

purposes, we are subtracting from the 

applicable cash deposit rate that portion 

of the rate attributable to the export 

subsidies found in the affirmative 

countervailing duty determination for 

each respondent (i.e., 9.88 percent for 

Triveni, and 9.88 percent for ‘‘All 

Others’’). After the adjustment for the 

cash deposit rates attributed to export 

subsidies, the resulting cash deposit 

rates will be 56.19 percent for Triveni 

and 56.19 percent for ‘‘All Others.’’ 

These instructions suspending 

liquidation will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Final Determination Margins 

The weighted–average dumping 

margins are as follows: 

Producer/Exporter Weighted–Average 

Margin (percent) 

Triveni Safety Matches 

Pvt. Ltd. ..................... 66.07 

All Others ...................... 66.07 

‘‘All Others’’ Rate 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

provides that the estimated ‘‘All Others’’ 

rate shall be an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted–average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. Triveni is the 

only respondent in this investigation. 

Therefore, for purposes of determining 

the ‘‘All Others’’ rate and pursuant to 

section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we are 

using the weighted–average dumping 

margin calculated for Triveni, as 

referenced above. See, e.g., Notice of 

Final Determination of Sales at Less 

Than Fair Value: Stainless Steel Sheet 

and Strip in Coils From Italy, 64 FR 

30750, 30755 (June 8, 1999); and Coated 

Free Sheet Paper from Indonesia: Notice 

of Preliminary Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value and Postponement

30757 (June 4, 2007), unchanged in 

Notice of Final Determination of Sales 

at Less Than Fair Value: Coated Free 

Sheet Paper from Indonesia, 72 FR 

60636 (Oct. 25, 2007). 

Disclosure 

We will disclose the calculations 

performed within five days of the date 

of publication of this notice to parties in 

this proceeding in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

ITC Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we have notified the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

our final determination. As our final 

determination is affirmative, the ITC 

will determine within 45 days whether 

imports of the subject merchandise are 

causing material injury, or threat of 

material injury, to an industry in the 

United States. If the ITC determines that 

material injury or threat of injury does 

not exist, the proceeding will be 

terminated and all securities posted will 

be refunded or canceled. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does exist, 

the Department will issue an 

antidumping duty order directing CBP 

to assess antidumping duties on all 

imports of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation. 

Return or Destruction of Proprietary 

Information 

This notice will serve as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of return/ 

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 sanctionable violation. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

determination and notice in accordance 

with sections 735(d) and 777(i) of the 

Act.
