Color Television Receivers From the Republic of Korea; Amended
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Amended Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On September 27, 1993, the Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the final results of the eighth administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on color television receivers
(CTVs) from the Republic of Korea (Korea) (58 FR 50333). The review
covered the period April 1, 1990, through March 31, 1991. On July 5,
1994, the Court of International Trade (CIT) ordered the Department to
recalculate the adjustment for taxes forgiven on CTVs manufactured by
Samsung Electronics Corp. (Samsung) and exported to the United States.
On December 28, 1994, the CIT affirmed the Department's recalculations.
Since the CIT's ruling was not appealed, we are amending our final
results of the eighth administrative review of the antidumping duty
order on CTVs from Korea with respect to Samsung.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 12, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph Hanley or Zev Primor, Office of
Antidumping Compliance, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202)
482-5253.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Review
Imports covered by this review include CTVs, complete and
incomplete, from the Republic of Korea. This merchandise is currently
classified
[[Page 35896]]
under item numbers 8528.10.80, 8529.90.15, 8529.90.20, and 8540.11.00
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). Since the order covers all
CTVs regardless of HTS classification, the HTS subheading is provided
for convenience and for the U.S. Customs Service purposes. Our written
description of the scope of the order remains dispositive. The period
of review is April 1, 1990 through March 31, 1991.
Amended Final Results of Review
The CIT instructed the Department to recalculate the adjustment for
taxes forgiven by reason of the exportation of the subject merchandise
to the United States. Pursuant to the remand order, we have
recalculated our adjustment to United States price to account for
Korean taxes not collected on CTVs exported to the United States. These
recalculations are in accordance with the methodology adopted by the
Department following the decision by the United States Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit in Zenith Electronics Corp. v. United States,
988 F.2d 1573, 1581 (Fed. Cir. 1993). As a result of our
recalculations, we have determined that the following percentage
weighted-average margin exists for the period April 1, 1990 through
March 31, 1991:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Percent
Manufacturer/exporter margin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Samsung...................................................... 0.47
------------------------------------------------------------------------
While these amended final results reflect a change in Samsung's
margin from 0.37 to 0.47 percent, Samsung's current cash deposit
requirements with the U.S. Customs Service remain unchanged at zero
percent, reflecting the fact that Samsung's margin remains de minimis.
Because the CIT's decision has not been appealed, the Department
will order the immediate lifting of the suspension of liquidation of,
and instruct the U.S. Customs Service to assess antidumping duties on,
entries subject to this review, as appropriate. Individual differences
between foreign market value and U.S. price may vary from the
percentage stated above. The Department will issue appraisement
instructions concerning these entries directly to the U.S. Customs
Service.
This notice serves as a reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 353.26 to file a certificate regarding the
reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during the review period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
This amendment of final results of review and notice are in
accordance with section 751(f) of the Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1673(d))
and 19 CFR 353.28(c).
Dated: July 5, 1995.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
