1. On 01/05/2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register (83 FR 665) its preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value and the postponement of the final determination in the antidumping duty investigation of fine denier polyester staple fiber from the People's Republic of China (China).

2. The merchandise covered by this investigation is fine 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-570-060.

4. For imports of fine denier polyester staple fiber from China CBP shall suspend liquidation of such shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 01/05/2018.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 entries of fine denier polyester staple fiber from China from the exporter/producer combinations listed below, a cash deposit equal to the antidumping duty cash deposits shown below:
