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shipments of uncoated paper from Brazil entered, or withdrawn from 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.
Jeffrey I. Kessler,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
