MESSAGE NO: 2296115 DATE: 10 23 1991 CATEGORY: ADA TYPE: ADM REFERENCE: REFERENCE DATE: CASES: A - 588 - 029 - - - - - - - - - - PERIOD COVERED: 09 30 1991 TO LIQ SUSPENSION DATE: TO: REGIONAL DIRECTORS, COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS DISTRICT DIRECTORS, AREA AND PORT DIRECTORS FROM: DIRECTOR, TRADE COMPLIANCE DIVISION RE: FINAL RESULTS OF ANTIDUMPING DUTY ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEWS AND PARTIAL REVOCATION OF FINDING OF FISHNETTING FROM JAPAN (A-588-029) 1. The Department of Commerce has completed its administrative reviews of the antidumping finding and partial revocation on fishnetting of man-made fibers from Japan, and published the results in the Federal Register on September 30, 1991. The partial revocation applies to all unliquidated entries of the subject merchandise produced by Osada Fishing Net Co., Ltd. (Osada), and exported by Nichimen Corporation (Nichimen) on or after June 1, 1987. 2. The product covered by these reviews is fishnetting of man-made fibers from Japan ("fishnetting"). Fishnetting is currently classifiable under subheadings 5608.11.00 and 5608.90.10 of the Harmonized Tariff System (HTS). Although the HTS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of these proceedings is dispositive. On December 29, 1986, the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) published its determination that an industry in the United States would not be materially injured by reason of imports of salmon-gill fishnetting of man-made fibers from Japan covered by the antidumping finding, if that portion of the finding concerning salmon-gill fishnetting were to be revoked (51 FR 46947). In its final results of a previous review of this finding (53 FR 10264, March 30, 1988), the Department determined that the effective date of the revocation of the portion of the finding applicable to salmon-gill fishnetting was December 29, 1986, the date that the ITC's decision was published in the Federal Register. Therefore, salmon-gill fishnetting sold and entered on or after December 29, 1986, is excluded from the 1986-87 administrative review. Salmon-gill fishnetting is defined as fishnetting of continuous polyamide fibers (including nylon), consisting of monofilament yarns measuring not more than 0.806 millimeter in maximum cross-sectional dimension or multifilament yarns or cordage measuring not more than 210 denier, or a combination of the foregoing yarns or cordage, of double- or triple-knot construction, dyed or otherwise colored (except white), having a stretch mesh size of not less than 4 1/8 inches and not more than 8 1/2 inches. 3. Accordingly, the following cash deposits will be required for all shipments of fishnetting from Japan that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 30, 1991. The cash deposit rate for Mitsui which was reviewed for a subsequent period will be 18.30 percent, the rate established in that period (See Final Results of the 1988/1989 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Fishnetting of Man-Made Fibers from Japan (55 FR 30948, July 30, 1990)). The cash deposit rate for any shipments of this merchandise manufactured or exported by manufacturers/exporters not covered in these reviews nor in any subsequent reviews, but covered in a prior review, will continue to be at the rate published in the final results of the last administrative review for such firms. The cash deposit rate for all other exporters/producers will be 1.40 percent, the highest of the most recently calculated non-BIA rates for any firm, based on 1986/1987 review period. This all other rate supercedes the zero rate established for the 1988/1989 period since the zero rate was based on a 1985/1986 calculated rate. Lastly, upon receipt of our appraisement instructions, you will be authorized to terminate suspension of liquidation for all entries of fishnetting of man-made fibers exported by Nichimen and produced by Osada.
