Postponement of Final Determination
and Extension of Provisional Measures
Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides
that a final determination may be
postponed until not later than 135 days
after the date of the publication of the
preliminary determination if, in the
event of an affirmative preliminary
determination, a request for such
postponement is made by exporters who
account for a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise, or in
the event of a negative preliminary
determination, a request for such
postponement is made by the petitioner.
Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s
regulations requires that a request by
exporters for postponement of the final
determination be accompanied by a
request for extension of provisional
measures from a four-month period to a
period not more than six months in
duration.
On April 17, 2019, pursuant to 19
CFR 351.210(e), SNCZ requested that

measures be extended to a period not to
exceed six months.8 In accordance with
section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) The
preliminary determination is
affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter
accounts for a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise; and
(3) no compelling reasons for denial
exist, Commerce is postponing the final
determination and extending the
provisional measures from a four-month
period to a period not greater than six
months. Accordingly, Commerce will
make its final determination no later
than 135 days after the date of
publication of this preliminary
determination.

the Act, Commerce will notify the
International Trade Commission (ITC) of
its preliminary determination. If the
final determination is affirmative, the

preliminary determination or 45 days
after the final determination whether
these imports are materially injuring, or
threaten material injury to, the U.S.
industry.9

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 2, 2018, Commerce initiated

The review covers one producer/

Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. (Suzano).
The period of review (POR) is March 1,
2017, through February 28, 2018. On
November 27, 2018, we extended the
preliminary results until January 30,
2019.2 However, Commerce exercised
its discretion to toll all deadlines
affected by the partial federal
government closure from December 22,
2018, through the resumption of
operations on January 29, 2019.3 As a
result, the revised deadline for the
preliminary results of this
administrative review became March 11,
2019. On March 7, 2019, we extended
the preliminary results until April 11,
2019.4 On April 9, 2019, we extended
the preliminary results until May 10,

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c),
interested parties who wish to request a

including the results of its analysis of
the issues raised in any written briefs,
not later than days after the date of
publication of this notice, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rate
If a respondent’s weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis in
the final results of this review, we will
calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate based on the ratio of the
total amount of dumping calculated for
each importer’s examined sales and the
total entered value of the sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).10
If a respondent’s weighted-average
dumping margin or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis in
the final results of review, we will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties in accordance with
the Final Modification for Reviews.11
The final results of this administrative
review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise under review
and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable. We intend to
issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15
days after publication of the final results
of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements for estimated antidumping
duties 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, a prior review, or the
original investigation but the producer
is, 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 lessthan-fair-value investigation.12 These
cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
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 period
of review. 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.

Assessment Rate
If a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is above de
minimis in the final results of this review, we will calculate an
importer-specific assessment rate based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales and the
total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).\10\ If a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin or
an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final
results of review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties in accordance with the Final Modification for
Reviews.\11\ The final results of this administrative review shall be
the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise under review and for future deposits of estimated duties,
where applicable. We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15
days after publication of the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping
duties 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, a prior review, or the original
investigation but the producer is, 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.\12\

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary 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 period of review. 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
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)(4).
