For entries on or after June 3, the date these results are set to be published in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting a new AD duty cash deposit rate of 0.76% for subject merchandise produced or exported by Koehler Paper SE and affiliate Koehler Kehl GmbH.

For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except Koehler, the only company subject to the review), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own AD rate but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate of 2.9% applies.

Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to calculate assessments of AD on importers of subject merchandise for entries between May 12, 2021, and Oct. 31, 2022. Commerce will assess AD on importers of entries from Koehler at importer-specific rates.

(The review period is 05/12/21 - 10/31/22. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2311280064 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
