Background
On June 28, 2022, Commerce published the preliminary results for
this administrative review.\1\ We invited interested parties to comment
on the Preliminary Results; however, no interested party submitted
comments. Accordingly, we made no changes to the Preliminary Results.

Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip (PET Film) from
Taiwan, 67 FR 44174 (July 1, 2002) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The products covered by the Order are all gauges of raw,
pretreated, or primed PET film, whether extruded or coextruded.
Excluded are metalized films and other finished films that have had at
least one of their surfaces modified by the application of a
performance-enhancing resinous or inorganic layer of more than 0.00001
inches thick. Imports of PET film are currently classifiable in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under item
number 3920.62.00.90. HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience
and Customs purposes. The written description of the scope of Order is
dispositive.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that SMTC and its
affiliate SSFC had no shipments of PET film during the POR, based on a
response of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to Commerce's
no-shipment inquiry, as well as certifications and supporting
documentation provided by SMTC/SSFC.\3\ We received no comments from
any interested party on our preliminary finding. As there is no
information on the record that calls into question the finding in the
Preliminary Results, we continue to find in the final results of this
review that SMTC/SSFC had no shipments of subject merchandise during
the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ For a full discussion of this determination, see Preliminary
Results PDM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
As noted above, Commerce received no comments concerning the
Preliminary Results. We continue to find that sales of subject
merchandise by Nan Ya were not made at less than normal value during
the POR. Accordingly, no decision memorandum accompanies this Federal
Register notice.\4\ The final weighted-average dumping margin for the
period July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021, for Nan Ya is as follows:

Assessment Rates
Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries in this review, in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
[[Page 64764]]
Act) and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Because we calculated a zero percent
margin in the final results of this review for Nan Ya, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212 we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping duties. In addition, as Commerce
continues to find that SMTC/SSFC did not have any shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR, we will instruct CBP to liquidate any
suspended entries of subject merchandise associated with SMTC/SSFC at
the all-others rate.
Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions
directly 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 upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit
rate for Nan Ya will be zero, the rate established in the final results
of this review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies
not covered in this review, 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 or any previous review or in
the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 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)
if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this
or any previous review or the LTFV investigation, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the all-others rate of 2.40 percent, which is the
all-others rate established by Commerce in the LTFV investigation.\5\
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final 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 the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/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 violation, which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
These results are being issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Dated: October 20, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
