SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 5, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results in
the Federal Register.\1\ We invited interested parties to comment on
the Preliminary Results; \2\ however, no interested party submitted
comments. Accordingly, because we have made no changes to the
Preliminary Results, the final results remain unchanged from the
Preliminary Results and there is no decision memorandum accompanying
this Federal Register notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Thermal Paper from the Republic of Korea: Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022-2023, 89 FR
96640 (December 5, 2024) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying
Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).
\2\ Id., 89 FR at 96641.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled the deadline to issue the
final results in this administrative review by 90 days.\3\ Accordingly,
the deadline for these final results is now July 3, 2025. Commerce
conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Countervailing Duty Proceedings,'' dated December 9, 2024.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Thermal Paper from Germany, Japan, the Republic of
Korea, and Spain: Antidumping Duty Order, 86 FR 66284 (November 22,
2021) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The merchandise subject to the Order is thermal paper from Korea.
For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the
Preliminary Results.
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin
exists for the period November 1, 2022, through October 31, 2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-average
Producer or exporter dumping margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hansol Paper Company............................... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties 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 Commerce 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 of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review. Because the weighted-average dumping margin for Hansol
Paper Company (Hansol) is zero, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Hansol for which the
reviewed company did not know that the merchandise it sold to the
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was
destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate (i.e., 6.19
percent),\5\ if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Order, 86 FR at 66286.
\6\ 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 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 the company listed above will be zero, as
established in the final results of this review; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not covered by this review, the cash
deposit 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 (LTFV) 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 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.\7\ These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Order, 86 FR at 66286.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility
[[Page 8792]]
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 occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an
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: January 27, 2025.
