Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and of the comments received from
interested parties, we have made certain changes to Suzano's margin
calculation and recalculated Suzano's weighted-average dumping margin.
For further discussion, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of the Administrative Review
We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin
exists for the period March 1, 2017 through February 28, 2018.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
Exporter/producer average margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A............................ 36.54
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rate
Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act; 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Suzano 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.
We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of this notice.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of this review for all
shipments of uncoated paper from Brazil entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as
provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for
companies subject to this review will be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margins established in the final results of the review; (2) for
merchandise exported by companies not covered in this review but
covered in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most
recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review
or the original investigation but the producer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently
completed segment for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be
27.11 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-
value investigation.\5\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.

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 the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction 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 the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Commerce is issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: October 16, 2019.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
