SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 22, 2023, Commerce published the notice of initiation of
the requested CCR.\1\ On February 26, 2024, Commerce published the
preliminary results of this CCR, determining that Garware Hi-Tech is
the successor-in-interest to Garware Polyester and should be assigned
the same AD cash deposit rate assigned to Garware Polyester in the AD
order on PET film from India,\2\ and provided all interested parties
with an opportunity to comment.\3\ No interested party submitted
comments on the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, the final results
remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results.

\2\ See Notice of Amended Final Antidumping Duty Determination

Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip from India, 67 FR

\3\ See Antidumping Duty Order on Polyethylene Terephthalate
Film, Sheet, and Strip from India: Preliminary Results of Changed
Circumstances Review, 89 FR 14053 (February 26, 2024) (Preliminary
Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are all gauges of raw,
pretreated, or primed PET film, whether extruded or coextruded.
Excluded are metallized 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 this
order is dispositive.
Final Results of CCR
For the reasons stated in the Preliminary Results, and because we
received no comments from interested parties challenging our
preliminary finding, Commerce continues to find that Garware Hi-Tech is
the successor-in-interest to Garware Polyester. As a result of this
determination and consistent with our established practice, we find
that Garware Hi-Tech should receive the AD cash deposit rate currently
assigned to Garware Polyester with respect to entries of subject
merchandise in the above-noted proceeding.\4\ Because there are no
changes from the Preliminary Results, there is no decision memorandum
accompanying this notice and we are adopting the Preliminary Results as
the final results of this CCR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consequently, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to suspend liquidation of all shipments of subject
merchandise produced and/or exported by Garware Hi-Tech and entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication
date of this notice in the Federal Register at 4.45 percent, which is
the current AD cash deposit rate for Garware Polyester.\5\ This cash
deposit requirement shall remain in effect until further notice.
