SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce published the Preliminary
Results on January 27, 2023.1 This
review covers 291 producers/exporters
of subject merchandise, including two
mandatory respondents, Canfor 2 and
West Fraser.3 For events subsequent to
the Preliminary Results, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.4 The final
weighted-average dumping margins are
listed below in the ‘‘Final Results of
Review’’ section of this notice.
Commerce conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this review is
softwood lumber from Canada. For a full
description of the scope, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case briefs
filed in this administrative review are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of the topics
discussed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum is included in Appendix
I of this notice. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is available electronically via
Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Services System
(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://
access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum is also accessible on the
internet at https://access.trade.gov/
public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties, we made the following changes
to the Preliminary Results:
• Corrected an error with our
calculation of West Fraser’s byproduct
offset;
• Adjusted West Fraser’s cost of
manufacturing to account for inputs
obtained from affiliated parties;
• Adjusted West Fraser’s general and
administrative expenses to account for
underlying producer ratios of the
collapsed entity.
• Removed certain freight expenses
from the calculation of West Fraser’s
home market prices.
• Adjusted Canfor’s purchases of
electricity from an affiliate.
• Revised the review-specific rate for
non-selected respondents.
Use of Adverse Facts Available
Pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of
the Act, and for the reasons explained
in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, we applied certain
changes to West Fraser’s margin
calculation based on the use of partial
facts available with an adverse
inference.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this administrative
review, we are assigning the following
weighted-average dumping margins to
the manufacturers/exporters listed
below for the POR, January 1, 2021,
through December 31, 2021:
Weighted-average
dumping margin
(percent)
Exporter/producer
Canfor Corporation/Canadian Forest Products Ltd./Canfor Wood Products Marketing Ltd .........................................................
West Fraser Mills Ltd., Blue Ridge Lumber Inc./Manning Forest Products Ltd./and Sundre Forest Products Inc ......................
Non-Selected Companies 5 ............................................................................................................................................................
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review.
We intend to calculate importer- (or
customer-) specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of antidumping duties calculated for
each importer’s (or customer’s)
examined sales and the total entered
value of the sales in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-
(or customer-) specific rate is zero or de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
Generally, when calculating margins
for non-selected respondents,
Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of
the Act for guidance, which provides
instructions for calculating the allothers rate in an investigation. Section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that
when calculating the all-others rate,
Commerce will exclude any zero and de
minimis weighted-average dumping
margins, as well as any weightedaverage dumping margins based on total
facts available. Accordingly,
Commerce’s usual practice has been to
average the margins for selected
respondents, excluding margins that are
zero, de minimis, or based entirely on
facts available.
In this review, we calculated a
weighted-average dumping margin of
5.25 percent for Canfor and 6.96 percent
for West Fraser. In accordance with
section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act,
Commerce assigned the weightedaverage of these two calculated
weighted-average dumping margins to
the non-selected companies in these
final results, based on their publicly
ranged sales data.6 Accordingly, we

Canada: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 88 FR 5306 (January 27,
2023) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying
Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).
2 As described in the Preliminary Results PDM,
we have treated Canfor Corporation, Canadian
Forest Products Ltd., and Canfor Wood Products
Marketing Ltd. (collectively, Canfor) as a single
entity. See Preliminary Results PDM at 5.
3 As described in the Preliminary Results PDM,
we have treated West Fraser Mills Ltd., Blue Ridge
Lumber Inc., Manning Forest Products Ltd., and
Sundre Forest Products Inc. (collectively, West
Fraser) as a single entity. See Preliminary Results
PDM at 5–6.

Memorandum for the Final Results of the 2021
Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty
Order on Certain Softwood Lumber Products from
Canada,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby
adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision
Memorandum).

non-selected respondent companies.

have applied a rate of 6.20 percent to
the non-selected companies.7 A list of
all non-selected companies is included
in Appendix II.
Commerce’s ‘‘reseller policy’’ 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 that the merchandise they
sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.8
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 cash deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable. Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP no earlier than 41 days after the
date of publication of the final results of
this review in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a).
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 these final results, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the
companies under review will be equal
to the weighted-average dumping
margin listed above in the ‘‘Final
Results of Review’’ section; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review but
covered in a previously completed
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published in the
final results for the most recent period
in which that producer or exporter
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review or in any
previous segment of this proceeding, but
the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be that established for the
producer of the merchandise in these
final results of review or in the final
results for the most recent period in
which that producer participated; and
(4) if neither the exporter nor the
producer is a firm covered in this
review or in any previously completed
segment of this proceeding, then the

cash deposit rate will be 6.58 percent ad
valorem, the all-others rate established
in the less than fair value investigation.9
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, 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 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 Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice is the only reminder to
parties subject to the administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return or 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 violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
final results and this notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(h).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this review is softwood lumber from Canada.
For a full description of the scope, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case briefs filed in this administrative
review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of
the topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is included
in Appendix I of this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a
public document and is available electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic
Services System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at
https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues
and Decision Memorandum is also accessible on the internet at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and comments received from
interested parties, we made the following changes to the Preliminary
Results:
Corrected an error with our calculation of West Fraser's
byproduct offset;
Adjusted West Fraser's cost of manufacturing to account
for inputs obtained from affiliated parties;
Adjusted West Fraser's general and administrative expenses
to account for underlying producer ratios of the collapsed entity.
Removed certain freight expenses from the calculation of
West Fraser's home market prices.
Adjusted Canfor's purchases of electricity from an
affiliate.
Revised the review-specific rate for non-selected
respondents.
Use of Adverse Facts Available
Pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, and for the reasons
explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we applied certain
changes to West Fraser's margin calculation based on the use of partial
facts available with an adverse inference.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this administrative review, we are assigning the
following weighted-average dumping margins to the manufacturers/
exporters listed below for the POR, January 1, 2021, through December
31, 2021:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-average
Exporter/producer dumping margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Canfor Corporation/Canadian Forest Products Ltd./ 5.25
Canfor Wood Products Marketing Ltd..................
West Fraser Mills Ltd., Blue Ridge Lumber Inc./ 6.96
Manning Forest Products Ltd./and Sundre Forest
Products Inc........................................
Non-Selected Companies \5\........................... 6.20
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Appendix II of this notice for a list of the non-
selected respondent companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review.
We intend to calculate importer- (or customer-) specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for each importer's (or customer's) examined sales
and the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where an importer- (or customer-) specific rate is zero
or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
Generally, when calculating margins for non-selected respondents,
Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act for guidance, which
provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an
investigation. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that when
calculating the all-others rate, Commerce will exclude any zero and de
minimis weighted-average dumping margins, as well as any weighted-
average dumping margins based on total facts available. Accordingly,
Commerce's usual practice has been to average the margins for selected
respondents, excluding margins that are zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on facts available.
In this review, we calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of
5.25 percent for Canfor and 6.96 percent for West Fraser. In accordance
with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, Commerce assigned the weighted-
average of these two calculated weighted-average dumping margins to the
non-selected companies in these final results, based on their publicly
ranged sales data.\6\ Accordingly, we
[[Page 50108]]
have applied a rate of 6.20 percent to the non-selected companies.\7\ A
list of all non-selected companies is included in Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Memorandum, ``Calculation of the Rate for Non-Selected
Respondents,'' dated concurrently with this notice. A list of the
non-selected companies under review is included as Appendix II.
\7\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce's ``reseller policy'' 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
that the merchandise they sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States. In
such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 cash deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 41 days after the date of publication of the final results
of this review in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
356.8(a).
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 these final
results, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash
deposit rate for the companies under review will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin listed above in the ``Final Results of
Review'' section; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review but covered in a previously
completed segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published in the final results
for the most recent period in which that producer or exporter
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review
or in any previous segment of this proceeding, but the producer is,
then the cash deposit rate will be that established for the producer of
the merchandise in these final results of review or in the final
results for the most recent period in which that producer participated;
and (4) if neither the exporter nor the producer is a firm covered in
this review or in any previously completed segment of this proceeding,
then the cash deposit rate will be 6.58 percent ad valorem, the all-
others rate established in the less than fair value investigation.\9\
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and
Affirmative Final Determination of Critical Circumstances, 82 FR
51806 (November 8, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice is the only reminder to parties subject to the
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or
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 violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results and this notice
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.213(h).
Dated: July 26, 2023.

different company numbers, i.e., A-122-857-118 and A-122-857-299. In
the instant review, Interfor Corporation and Interfor Sales &
Marketing Ltd. have stated that both Interfor Corporation and
Interfor Sales & Marketing export lumber produced by Interfor
Corporation. See Interfor Corporation and Interfor Sales & Marketing
Ltd.'s Letter, ``Comments in Response to Commerce's Request for
Clarification of the Review Requests,'' dated February 14, 2022.
Therefore, for the final results, we will combine both company names
under one company number.
