We should not have listed Toray Chemical Korea Inc. in paragraph 4 of message 8008302 because this company preliminarily received a de minimis dumping margin of 0.00 percent. We have included instructions regarding Toray Chemical Korea Inc. in paragraph 5 of the corrected message. The fully corrected message is below. Corrected Message 1. On 01/05/2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register its affirmative preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value and postponement of the final determination in the antidumping duty investigation of fine denier polyester staple fiber (fine denier PSF) from the Republic of Korea (83 FR 660). 2. The merchandise covered by this investigation is fìne denier polyester staple fiber (fine denier PSF), not carded, combed, or pre-opened, measuring less than 3.3 decitex (3 denier) in diameter. The scope covers all fine denier PSF, whether coated or uncoated. The following products are excluded from the scope: (1) PSF equal to or greater than 3.3 decitex (more than 3 denier, inclusive) currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 5503.20.0045 and 5503.20.0065. (2) Low-melt PSF defined as a bi-component polyester fiber having a polyester fiber component that melts at a lower temperature than the other polyester fiber component, which is currently classifiable under HTSUS subheading 5503.20.0015. Fine denier PSF is classifiable under the HTSUS subheading 5503.20.0025. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this investigation is dispositive. 3. This proceeding has been assigned case number A-580-893. 4. For imports of fine denier PSF from the Republic of Korea, CBP shall suspend liquidation of such shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 01/05/2018. Effective 01/05/2018, CBP shall require, for such entries, a cash deposit equal to the margins for the producers and/or exporters listed below: Producer and/or Exporter: Huvis Corporation Case number: A-580-893-002 Cash deposit rate: 45.23% Producer and/or Exporter: Down Nara, Co., Ltd. Case number: A-580-893-003 Cash deposit rate: 45.23% All Others Case Number: A-580-893-000 Cash Deposit Rate: 30.15% 5. Commerce found that a de minimis dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists for imports of fine denier PSF from the Republic of Korea that were exported and produced by Toray Chemical Korea Inc. Therefore, CBP shall not suspend liquidation of such shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 01/05/2018. Entries of subject merchandise from Toray Chemical Korea Inc. in any other producer/exporter combination, or by third parties that sourced subject merchandise from the excluded producer/exporter combination, are subject to the all others rate. 6. If any entries of this merchandise are exported by a firm other than the producer, then the following instructions apply: A. If the exporter of the subject merchandise does not have its own rate but the producer has its own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the producer's rate. B. Where neither the exporter nor the producer has its own rate or the producer is unknown, use the all-others rate of 30.15 percent to establish the cash deposit. 7.
