SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 29, 2023, Commerce published the Preliminary Results
and invited comments from interested parties.\1\ No interested party
submitted comments on the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, the final
results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results, and thus, there
is no decision memorandum accompanying this notice. Commerce conducted
this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2021-2022, 88 FR

Final Results of Review
For these final results, we determine that the following estimated
weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period May 12, 2021,
through October 31, 2022:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average dumping
Producer/exporter margin

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose to the parties in a proceeding the
calculations performed in connection with the final results of review
within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice
of final results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b). However, because we have made no changes from the
Preliminary Results, there are no new calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
because Hansol Paper Company (Hansol) reported the entered value for
all of its U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of those
same sales.
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Hansol for which the
company did not know that the merchandise it sold to an intermediary
(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
such entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of these final results of
administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
the cash deposit rate for Hansol will be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margin established in these final results of this
administrative review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed
companies not covered in this review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the company
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review,
or the less-than-fair-value (LTV) investigation, but the producer is,
then the cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate established
for the most recently completed segment for the producer of the subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and
exporters will continue to be 6.19 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.\5\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Order, 86 FR 66286.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
[[Page 8412]]
occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO
is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: February 1, 2024.
