Germany Thermal Paper: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department has published the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on thermal paper from Germany (A-428-850). The agency preliminarily calculated a zero percent AD rate for Koehler Paper SE and Koehler Kehl GmbH, collectively referred to as Koehler, the sole mandatory respondent. If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from Koehler entered between Nov. 1, 2022, and Oct. 31, 2023, won't be assessed AD. A zero percent AD cash deposit rate would take effect for entries from Koehler upon publication of the final results in the Federal Register.

The request for review for Mitsubishi Hitec Paper was withdrawn, so the review for it has been rescinded. Commerce will instruct CBP to assess AD on all appropriate entries from Mitsubishi at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated AD required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption.
Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry for subject merchandise from exporters for which a review was not requested, in a message sent to CBP (ADCVDWeb Message # 4033412).
These preliminary results do not change current AD rates, and Commerce can modify them in the final results of this review. For now, the most recent final AD rate calculated for each German company is still applicable. If no final AD rate has ever been calculated for a company, then it is subject to the all others rate of 2.9%. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in April.
(The period of review is 11/01/22 - 10/31/23. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
