Cash Deposit Requirements
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the
Department will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of these final results of
review. In accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), for Max Fortune, we
calculated importer (or customer)specific assessment rates for the
merchandise subject to this review.
Because we do not have entered values
on the record for Max Fortune’s sales,
we calculated a per-unit assessment rate
by aggregating the antidumping duties
due for all U.S. sales to each importer
(or customer) and dividing this amount
by the total quantity sold to that
importer (or customer). See 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). To determine whether the
duty assessment rates are de minimis, in
accordance with the requirement set
forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we
calculated importer (or customer)specific ad valorem ratios based on the
estimated entered value. Where an
importer (or customer)-specific ad
valorem rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties. See 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2).
With respect to the PRC-wide entity
(including Vietnam Quijiang and Guilin
Qifeng), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate appropriate entries at the PRCwide rate of 112.64 percent.3

Assessment
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results
of the administrative review for all
shipments of certain tissue paper
products from the PRC entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) A cash
deposit rate of 14.25 percent will be
required for certain tissue paper
products from the PRC exported by Max
Fortune; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above
that have separate rates, the cashdeposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) for all other PRC
exporters of subject merchandise, which
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash-deposit rate will
be PRC-wide rate of 112.64 percent; and
(4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise, the cash-deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporter that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
3 In the final determination of the circumvention
inquiry involving Vietnam Quijiang (see Certain
Tissue Paper Products from the People’s Republic
of China: Affirmative Final Determination of
Circumvention of the Antidumping Duty Order, 73
FR 57591 (October 3, 2008), the Department stated
that if Vietnam Quijiang did not participate in this
administrative review, we would immediately
revoke the certification program relevant to its
entries of certain tissue paper products from
Vietnam, thereby presuming all of its entries to be
of PRC origin regardless of whether they are
declared to be Vietnamese or PRC origin. See
October 24, 2008, Memorandum entitled
‘‘Discontinuation of Certification Program.’’

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as the final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)
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 the Secretary’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and in the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the

(Preliminary Results). The review covers
one producer/exporter, Quimica Amtex,
S.A. de C.V. (Amtex). The period of
review (POR) is July 1, 2007, through
June 30, 2008. We invited interested
parties to comment on our Preliminary
Results. The Department received
comments concerning our Preliminary
Results from respondents only. Based
on our analysis of the comments
received, we have made certain changes
in the margin calculations. Therefore,
the final results differ from the
Preliminary Results. The final
weighted–average dumping margin for
the reviewed firm is listed below in the
section entitled ‘‘Final Results of
Review.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 10, 2009, the Department
published the preliminary results of this
review in the Federal Register. See
Preliminary Results. We invited parties
to comment on the Preliminary Results.
Since the Preliminary Results, we
received a case brief from respondent
Amtex on May 11, 2009. No brief was
received from petitioner, Aqualon
Company (a division of Hercules
Incorporated).
Amtex originally reported as many as
three entered values for some of its
constructed export price (CEP) sales;
these particular sales quantities had
been blended from various lots of CMC
held in Amtex USA’s U.S. inventory. In
order for the Department to calculate
importer–specific ad valorem
assessment rates, we directed Amtex to
report a single weighted entered value
for each reported CEP sale in a
supplemental questionnaire. See
‘‘Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from
Mexico: Supplemental Section C
Questionnaire,’’ dated July 17, 2009.
Amtex fully complied with this request
in its ‘‘Quimica Amtex, S.A. de C.V.
Supplemental Section C Questionnaire
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:05 Oct 08, 2009
Jkt 220001
Response,’’ dated August 5, 2009. At our
instruction, Amtex allocated its entered
value to report a single weighted–
average entered value for each CEP
transaction.
On August 5, 2009, the Department
published in the Federal Register an
extension of the time limit for the final
results until October 7, 2009. See
Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from
Mexico: Extension of Time Limit for
Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 74 FR 39054
(August 5, 2009).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is all purified carboxymethylcellulose
(CMC), sometimes also referred to as
purified sodium CMC, polyanionic
cellulose, or cellulose gum, which is a
white to off–white, non–toxic, odorless,
biodegradable powder, comprising
sodium CMC that has been refined and
purified to a minimum assay of 90
percent. Purified CMC does not include
unpurified or crude CMC, CMC
Fluidized Polymer Suspensions, and
CMC that is cross–linked through heat
treatment. Purified CMC is CMC that
has undergone one or more purification
operations which, at a minimum, reduce
the remaining salt and other by–product
portion of the product to less than ten
percent. The merchandise subject to this
order is classified in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States at
subheading 3912.31.00. This tariff
classification is provided for
convenience and customs purposes;
however, the written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the
comments received, we have made
certain changes to the margin
calculations. In its case brief, Amtex
alleged that the Department had failed
to make several conversions from
pounds to kilograms for those sales
originally invoiced in pounds. See
‘‘Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from
Mexico (A–201–834): Case Brief for the
Final Results,’’ dated May 11, 2009, at
pages 1–5. The comparison market
database fields affected were inland
freight charges (INLFTCH) and variable
cost of manufacture (VCOMH). Id., at 1–
4. The U.S. market database fields
affected were variable cost of
manufacture (VCOMU), total cost of
manufacture (TCOMU), and packing
(PACKU and PACK1U). Id., at 1–5.
After analyzing the databases and the
programming used in the Preliminary
Results, we agreed with Amtex.
Therefore, we added two lines of
programming to the comparison market
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703

52179
program stipulating that if the quantity
unit reporting was in pounds, then the
following adjustments to the
comparison market program were
appropriate: ‘‘INLFTCH = INLFTCH *
2.204’’ and ‘‘VCOMH = VCOMH *
2.204.’’ We also added three lines of
programming to the U.S. market
program stipulating that if the quantity
unit reporting was in pounds, then the
following adjustments to the U.S.
market program were appropriate:
‘‘VCOMU = VCOMU * 2.204’’ and
‘‘TCOMU = TCOMU * 2.204’’ and
‘‘PACKU = PACK1U’’ (PACK1U
reported the PACKU value as converted
into kilograms).
Final Results of Review
The final weighted–average dumping
margin for the period July 1, 2007,
through June 30, 2008, is as follows:

Assessment
The Department shall determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries. We have
calculated importer–specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates based on the ratio
of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for the examined sales
to the total entered value of the sales.
We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review if any
importer–specific assessment rate
calculated in the final results of this
review is above de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.50 percent). The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of these final results of
review.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). This
clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by companies included in
these final results of review for which
the reviewed companies did not know
their merchandise was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate un–reviewed
entries at the all–others rate established
in the less–than-fair–value (LTFV)
investigation if there is no rate for the
intermediate company or companies
involved in the transaction.

Cash Deposit Requirements
Further, the following deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of purified
carboxymethylcellulose from Mexico
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act): (1)
the cash deposit rates for the reviewed
companies will be the rates shown
above, except if the rate is less than 0.50
percent, de minimis within the meaning
of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), the cash
deposit will be zero; (2) for previously–
investigated or reviewed companies not
listed above, 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 LTFV
investigation, but the manufacturer is,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent period
for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; and, (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters will continue to be 12.61
percent, the ‘‘all others’’ rate established
in the LTFV investigation. See Notice of
Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value: Purified
Carboxymethylcellulose from Mexico,
70 FR 28280 (May 17, 2005). These
deposit requirements shall remain in
effect until further notice.
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 the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 10, 2009, the Department published the preliminary results
of this review in the Federal Register. See Preliminary Results. We
invited parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.
Since the Preliminary Results, we received a case brief from
respondent Amtex on May 11, 2009. No brief was received from
petitioner, Aqualon Company (a division of Hercules Incorporated).
Amtex originally reported as many as three entered values for some
of its constructed export price (CEP) sales; these particular sales
quantities had been blended from various lots of CMC held in Amtex
USA's U.S. inventory. In order for the Department to calculate
importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates, we directed Amtex to
report a single weighted entered value for each reported CEP sale in a
supplemental questionnaire. See ``Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from
Mexico: Supplemental Section C Questionnaire,'' dated July 17, 2009.
Amtex fully complied with this request in its ``Quimica Amtex, S.A. de
C.V. Supplemental Section C Questionnaire Response,'' dated August 5,
2009. At our instruction, Amtex allocated its entered value to report a
single weighted-average entered value for each CEP transaction.
On August 5, 2009, the Department published in the Federal Register
an extension of the time limit for the final results until October 7,
2009. See Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from Mexico: Extension of
Time Limit for Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,
74 FR 39054 (August 5, 2009).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order is all purified
carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), sometimes also referred to as purified
sodium CMC, polyanionic cellulose, or cellulose gum, which is a white
to off-white, non-toxic, odorless, biodegradable powder, comprising
sodium CMC that has been refined and purified to a minimum assay of 90
percent. Purified CMC does not include unpurified or crude CMC, CMC
Fluidized Polymer Suspensions, and CMC that is cross-linked through
heat treatment. Purified CMC is CMC that has undergone one or more
purification operations which, at a minimum, reduce the remaining salt
and other by-product portion of the product to less than ten percent.
The merchandise subject to this order is classified in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States at subheading 3912.31.00. This
tariff classification is provided for convenience and customs purposes;
however, the written description of the scope of the order is
dispositive.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made
certain changes to the margin calculations. In its case brief, Amtex
alleged that the Department had failed to make several conversions from
pounds to kilograms for those sales originally invoiced in pounds. See
``Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from Mexico (A-201-834): Case Brief
for the Final Results,'' dated May 11, 2009, at pages 1-5. The
comparison market database fields affected were inland freight charges
(INLFTCH) and variable cost of manufacture (VCOMH). Id., at 1-4. The
U.S. market database fields affected were variable cost of manufacture
(VCOMU), total cost of manufacture (TCOMU), and packing (PACKU and
PACK1U). Id., at 1-5.
After analyzing the databases and the programming used in the
Preliminary Results, we agreed with Amtex. Therefore, we added two
lines of programming to the comparison market program stipulating that
if the quantity unit reporting was in pounds, then the following
adjustments to the comparison market program were appropriate:
``INLFTCH = INLFTCH * 2.204'' and ``VCOMH = VCOMH * 2.204.'' We also
added three lines of programming to the U.S. market program stipulating
that if the quantity unit reporting was in pounds, then the following
adjustments to the U.S. market program were appropriate: ``VCOMU =
VCOMU * 2.204'' and ``TCOMU = TCOMU * 2.204'' and ``PACKU = PACK1U''
(PACK1U reported the PACKU value as converted into kilograms).

Assessment
The Department shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries. We have calculated importer-specific
ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount
of antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the total
entered value of the sales. We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review if any
importer-specific assessment rate calculated in the final results of
this review is above de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent). The
Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these final results of review.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). This
clarification will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the
POR produced by companies included in these final results of review for
which the reviewed companies did not know their merchandise was
destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate un-reviewed entries at the all-others rate established in
the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation if there is no rate for
the intermediate company or companies involved in the transaction.

investigated or reviewed companies not listed above, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the

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 the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
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). Timely written
notification of 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.
This administrative review and notice are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: October 2, 2009.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
