Taiwan Polyester Staple Fiber: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on polyester staple fiber from Taiwan (A-583-833). The agency preliminarily calculated a zero percent AD duty rate for Nan Ya. If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, polyester staple fiber from Nan Ya entered between May 2012 and April 2013 will not be assessed AD duties, and future entries from Nan Ya will not be subject to an AD duty cash deposit requirements until further notice.

Rates Only Preliminary; Cash Deposit Rates From Previous Proceedings Still in Effect
These AD duty rates are only preliminary, and do not change current AD duty rates. Commerce may still change its calculations when it issues the final results of this administrative review. For now, the most recent final AD rate calculated for each Taiwanese company is still applicable. If no final AD duty rate has ever been calculated for a company, then it is subject to the all others rate of 7.31%. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in October.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register.
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Nan Ya Plastics Corporation | zero |
No shipments. Commerce preliminarily found that another company under review, Far Eastern New Century Corporation (FENC), did not have any shipments of subject merchandise to the U.S. during the period of review. If Commerce continues this finding in the final results, entries from FENC will continue to enter at rates set in the most recent previous administrative review.
Assessment Rates
If Commerce continues to calculate zero percent AD duty rates for Nan Ya in the final results of its administrative review, the agency will not assess AD duties on importers for entries of subject merchandise from Nan Ya entered between May 1, 2012 and April 30, 2013. If Commerce continues to find FENC had no shipments, any entries from FENC during the period of review will be liquidated at the all others rate.
(The period of review is 05/01/12 -- 04/30/13. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
