SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 29, 2019, Commerce initiated
an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on uncoated
paper from Brazil in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act).1 This review
covers two producers/exporters of the
subject merchandise: Suzano Papel e
Celulose S.A. (Suzano) and
International Paper do Brasil Ltda. (IP)/
International Paper Exportadora Ltda.
(IPEX) (collectively, International
Paper).2 For details regarding the events
1 See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 84 FR
24743 (May 29, 2019).
2 In the investigation, we determined that IP and
IPEX constituted a single entity. Because no
interested parties submitted comments on this
issue, and in the absence of any new information
regarding this finding, Commerce is continuing to
find that IP and IPEX are affiliated, pursuant to
sections 771(33)(E) and (F) of the Act, and are
considered a single entity, pursuant to 19 CFR

2020.4

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 29, 2019, Commerce initiated an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on uncoated paper from Brazil in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\1\ This
review covers two producers/exporters of the subject merchandise:
Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. (Suzano) and International Paper do Brasil
Ltda. (IP)/International Paper Exportadora Ltda. (IPEX) (collectively,
International Paper).\2\ For details regarding the events

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 24743 (May 29, 2019).
\2\ In the investigation, we determined that IP and IPEX
constituted a single entity. Because no interested parties submitted
comments on this issue, and in the absence of any new information
regarding this finding, Commerce is continuing to find that IP and
IPEX are affiliated, pursuant to sections 771(33)(E) and (F) of the
Act, and are considered a single entity, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.401(f). See Certain Uncoated Paper From Brazil: Preliminary
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of

and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, Commerce determined
that it was not practicable to complete the preliminary results of this
review within 245 days and extended the preliminary results by 117
days, until March 27, 2020.\4\

Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order are certain uncoated paper
products from Brazil. For a full description of the scope, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying
these preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A
list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
included as an appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and is made available to the public via
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to

building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is available at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The
signed and electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum
are identical in content.
Preliminary Results of the Review
We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average
dumping margins exist for the respondents for the period March 1, 2018
through February 28, 2019:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A................................. 17.05
International Paper do Brasil Ltda. and International Paper 0.00
Exportadora Ltda...........................................
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries. If International Paper's or Suzano's
weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this review, we will
calculate importer-specific ad valorem antidumping duty assessment
rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for
the importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those same
sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific assessment rate calculated in the
final results of this review is not zero or de minimis. If a
respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard
to antidumping duties. The final results of this review shall be the
basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
International Paper or Suzano for which the companies did not know that
the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct
CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).

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 will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
finals results of this administrative review, as provided by section

Paper and Suzano in the final results of review will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of
this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers
or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment
of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the most recently-completed segment
of this proceeding in which they were reviewed; (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 of this proceeding for the
producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to be 27.11 percent,\7\ the all-

of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
