paper with a GE brightness level 3 of 85
or higher or is a colored paper; whether
or not surface-decorated, printed (except
as described below), embossed,
perforated, or punched; irrespective of
the smoothness of the surface; and
irrespective of dimensions (Certain
Uncoated Paper).
Certain Uncoated Paper includes (a)
uncoated free sheet paper that meets
this scope definition; (b) uncoated
ground wood paper produced from
bleached chemi-thermo-mechanical
pulp (BCTMP) that meets this scope
definition; and (c) any other uncoated
paper that meets this scope definition
regardless of the type of pulp used to
produce the paper.
Specifically excluded from the scope
are (1) paper printed with final content
of printed text or graphics and (2) lined
paper products, typically school
supplies, composed of paper that
incorporates straight horizontal and/or
vertical lines that would make the paper
unsuitable for copying or printing
purposes. For purposes of this scope
definition, paper shall be considered
‘‘printed with final content’’ where at
least one side of the sheet has printed
text and/or graphics that cover at least
five percent of the surface area of the
entire sheet.
On September 1, 2017, Commerce
determined that that imports of
uncoated paper with a GE brightness of
83 +/¥ 1% (83 Bright paper), otherwise
meeting the description of in-scope
merchandise, constitute merchandise
‘‘altered in form or appearance in minor
respects’’ from in-scope merchandise
that are subject to this order.4
Imports of the subject merchandise
are provided for under Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) categories 4802.56.1000,
4802.56.2000, 4802.56.3000,
4802.56.4000, 4802.56.6000,
4802.56.7020, 4802.56.7040,
4802.57.1000, 4802.57.2000,
4802.57.3000, and 4802.57.4000. Some
imports of subject merchandise may
also be classified under 4802.62.1000,
4802.62.2000, 4802.62.3000,
4802.62.5000, 4802.62.6020,
4802.62.6040, 4802.69.1000,
4802.69.2000, 4802.69.3000,
4811.90.8050 and 4811.90.9080. While
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
order is dispositive.
3 One of the key measurements of any grade of
paper is brightness. Generally speaking, the brighter
the paper the better the contrast between the paper
and the ink. Brightness is measured using a GE
Reflectance Scale, which measures the reflection of
light off a grade of paper. One is the lowest
reflection, or what would be given to a totally black
grade, and 100 is the brightest measured grade.
‘‘Colored paper’’ as used in this scope definition
means a paper with a hue other than white that
reflects one of the primary colors of magenta,
yellow, and cyan (red, yellow, and blue) or a
combination of such primary colors.

Analysis
In the Preliminary Results, we
determined that the sole mandatory
respondent, APRIL,5 did not make sales
of subject merchandise at prices below
normal value during the POR. As no
parties commented on the Preliminary
Results, we are adopting the decisions
outlined in the PDM in these final
results of review. For additional details,
see the PDM, which is a public
document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance’s

addition, a complete version of the PDM
can be accessed directly on the internet
at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/

As a result of this review, we are
assigning a dumping margin of zero to
APRIL for the period August 26, 2015,
through February 28, 2017, as follows:

Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Because APRIL’s
weighted-average dumping margin in
the final results of this review is zero,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate
APRIL’s entries without regard to
antidumping duties. In addition, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by APRIL for which
it did not know its 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 or
companies involved in the transaction.
The all-others rate is 2.10 percent.6 We
will also instruct CBP to take into
account the ‘‘provisional measures cap’’
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(d).
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these
final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of 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 rate for APRIL will be
zero; (2) for previously-investigated
companies not participating in this
review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently
completed segment; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, or the
original less-than-fair value (LTFV)
investigation, but the manufacturer is,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent segment
for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters will continue to be 2.10
percent, the all-others rate made
