US Confirms Duties on Taiwan's Woven Ribbon Selvedges
Published Date: 1/22/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce confirmed that narrow woven ribbons from Taiwan were sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices between September 2022 and August 2023. This means importers might face extra duties to level the playing field. The final decision, effective January 22, 2025, keeps the previous findings unchanged since no one challenged them.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
137.20% Dumping Margin Confirmed
Commerce found that two Taiwanese producers (Hao Shyang Ind. Co. Ltd. and Lung Che Ribbons Enterprises Co. Ltd.) sold narrow woven ribbons in the U.S. below normal value for the period September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2023 and assigned each a 137.20% weighted-average dumping margin. Commerce reached this final result (based on adverse facts available under sections 776(a) and 776(b) of the Tariff Act) and it is applicable as of January 22, 2025.
Cash Deposit Rates Start at Publication
For shipments of the subject ribbons entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date (January 22, 2025), importers must post cash deposits equal to the rates in the final results: 137.20% for Hao Shyang and Lung Che. The all-others deposit rate remains 4.37% ad valorem; other company-specific rules described in the notice continue to apply.
File Reimbursement Certificate or Risk Double Duties
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries during the period of review, under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If importers fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties, per 19 CFR 351.402(f)(3).
Timing for Duty Assessment and Liquidation Holds
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries in accordance with the final results, and intends to issue those assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after the Federal Register publication (January 22, 2025). If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the period for filing a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
