On July 21, 2020, Commerce
exercised its discretion to toll
administrative review deadlines by 60
days.4 In addition, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, Commerce
determined it was not practicable to
complete the preliminary results of this
review within the 245 days and
extended the deadline for these
preliminary results until May 28, 2021.5
Scope of the Order 6
The products covered by the Order
are certain uncoated paper products
from Brazil. For a full description of the
scope, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.7
Preliminary Results of Successor-inInterest Analysis
Suzano reported that, during the POR,
it changed its name from Suzano Papel
e Celulose S.A. to Suzano S.A. Based on
our analysis of the information on the
record regarding any changes with
respect to corporate structure,
manufacturing facilities, customers, and
suppliers, we preliminarily determine
that Suzano S.A. is the successor-ininterest to Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A.,
and, as a result, should be accorded the
same treatment previously accorded to
Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. See the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
2 On August 17, 2020, we rescinded this review
with respect to: International Paper do Brasil Ltda.

found that rolls of certain uncoated paper from
Brazil were being further processed in the United
States into individual sheets of uncoated paper that
would be subject to the Order. Commerce intends

Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with sections 751(a) of
the Act. We calculated export price and
constructed export price in accordance
with section 772 of the Act. We
calculated NV in accordance with
section 773 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 registered users
at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a
complete version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is available at
https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn.
Preliminary Results of the Review
We preliminarily determine the
following weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period March 1,
2019, through February 29, 2020:

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the final results
of this administrative review, Commerce
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. If 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 importerspecific assessment rate calculated in
the final results of this review is not
zero or de minimis. If Suzano’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.8
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Suzano for which
the company 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 established in the original less-thanfair value (LTFV) investigation (i.e.,
27.11 percent) 9 if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.10
Consistent with its recent notice,11
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 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 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for 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, except if the rate
is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore,
de minimis within the meaning of 19
CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the
cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review, but
covered in a prior segment of the
proceeding, then the cash deposit rate
will be the company-specific rate
published for the most recentlycompleted segment in which they were
reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm

Final Results of Review
AGENCY:
Unless otherwise extended,
Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review,
including the results of its analysis of
the issues raised in any written briefs,
not later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, pursuant to

regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in Commerce’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.

Preliminary Results of Successor-in-Interest Analysis
Suzano reported that, during the POR, it changed its name from
Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. to Suzano S.A. Based on our analysis of
the information on the record regarding any changes with respect to
corporate structure, manufacturing facilities, customers, and

Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. See the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with sections
751(a) of the Act. We calculated export price and constructed export
price in accordance with section 772 of the Act. We calculated NV in
accordance with section 773 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 registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In
addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
available at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn.
Preliminary Results of the Review
We preliminarily determine the following weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period March 1, 2019, through February 29, 2020:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suzano S.A................................................. 19.40
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the final results of this administrative review,
Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. If
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 Suzano'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.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ 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 Suzano
for which the company 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 established in the original less-than-fair value
(LTFV) investigation (i.e., 27.11 percent) \9\ if there is no rate for
the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Order.
\10\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistent with its recent notice,\11\ 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).

Liquidation Instructions After 15 Days in Applicable Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Proceedings, 86 FR 884 (January

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
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for 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,
except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash
deposit rate will be zero; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review, but covered in a prior segment of
the proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific
rate published for the most recently-completed segment in which they
were reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review
or the original
[[Page 30002]]
LTFV 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,\12\ the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.

Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, including the results of its
analysis of the issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120
days after the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This administrative review and notice are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213 and 351.221(b)(4).
