AD Suspension of Liquidation Instructions
The ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of all entries of narrow woven ribbons with woven selvedge from Taiwan (except Dear Year and Shienq Huong) with a time of entry on or after February 18, 2010.
(The ITA will instruct CBP not to suspend liquidation for entries of subject ribbons by Dear Year and Shienq Huong, because it has calculated AD duty rates of zero for these companies.)
AD Cash Deposit Requirements
The ITA will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit or the posting of a bond for entries of subject ribbons from Taiwan for the following companies (except Dear Year and Shienq Huong) with a time of entry on or after February 18, 2010, at the AD duty rates listed below.
| Manufacturer/Exporter | Prelim AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Dear Year Brothers Mfg. Co., Ltd. | 0.00%1 |
| Roung Shu Industry Corporation | 4.54% |
| Shienq Huong Enterprise Co., Ltd./Hsien Chan Enterprise Co., Ltd./Novelty Handicrafts Co., Ltd.2 | 0.00%1 |
| All Others | 4.54% |
1The ITA has preliminarily found AD duty rates of zero for these companies; therefore, no cash deposit is required.
2The ITA has determined to collapse Shieng Huong with its affiliates, Hsien Chan and Novelty, and is treating these companies as a single entity for purposes of this investigation.
ITA Postpones Due Date for Final AD Determination
The ITA is also postponing the due date for the final AD duty determination until no later than 135 days after February 18, 2010. Suspension of liquidation will be extended accordingly.

Pursuant to a request, the ITA has preliminarily implemented the following changes to one exclusion to the scope of investigation (added text underlined):
