SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 5, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results.\1\ On
May 6, 2024, Commerce issued a questionnaire to which Suzano timely
responded on May 23, 2024.\2\ On June 6, 2024, Commerce notified
interested parties of the deadline for the submission of case and
rebuttal briefs.\3\ No interested party submitted comments on the
Preliminary Results. Commerce conducted this review in accordance with
section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce
made no changes from the Preliminary Results, which are herein adopted
as the final results of review. Additionally, because these final
results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results, no memorandum
accompanies this notice.

Final Results of Review
We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the POR, March 1, 2022, through February 28, 2023:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suzano S.A.................................................. 3.49
Sylvamo do Brasil Ltda/Sylvamo Exports Ltda................. 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Because we made no changes to the calculations performed in
connection with the Preliminary Results, there are no new calculations
to disclose, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b), for these final
results.
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.
Because Suzano's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we calculated importer-specific
ad valorem assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of
the sales. Where an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties. For Sylvamo, because its
weighted-average dumping margin is zero, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate entries reported in this review without regard to antidumping
duties.
Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Suzano or Sylvamo for
which they did not know their merchandise was destined for the United
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rates for Suzano and
Sylvamo will be the rates established in the final results of this
administrative review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated
companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be 27.11 percent, the all-others rate established in the
LTFV investigation.\6\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final 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/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
violation which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: August 9, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for
