CV Suspension of Liquidation
The ITA is directing U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation for CV duty purposes all entries of subject merchandise from China with a time of entry on or after March 9, 2010.
CV Cash Deposit Requirements
The ITA is also directing CBP to require a CV duty cash deposit or bond for all entries of subject merchandise from China with a time of entry on or after March 9, 2010, at the following CV duty rates:
| Exporter/Manufacturer | Prelim CV Rate |
|---|---|
| Gold East Paper (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd.; Gold Huasheng Paper Co., Ltd.; Gold East Trading (Hong Kong) Company Ltd.; Ningbo Zhonghua Paper Co., Ltd.; and Ningbo Asia Pulp & Paper Co., Ltd. | 12.83% |
| Shandong Sun Paper Industry Joint Stock Co., Ltd. and Yanzhou Tianzhang Paper Industry Co., Ltd. | 3.92% |
| All Others | 8.38% |
Final CV Duty Determination Aligned with Final AD Duty Determination
The ITA is also aligning the final CV duty determination with the final determination in the companion antidumping duty investigation of certain coated paper from China.
Consequently, the final CV duty determination will be issued no later than July 12, 2010, unless postponed in the companion AD investigation.
Correction to the Scope of the Investigation
Pursuant to comments received on the scope of the investigation, the ITA has determined that the word "paperboard" was inadvertently left out of a sentence in the initiation notice and has corrected it for the preliminary determination. Therefore, this corrected paragraph now reads as follows (added words underlined):
Coated Paper includes: (a) coated free sheet paper and paperboard that meets this scope definition; (b) coated groundwood paper and paperboard produced from bleached chemithermo-mechanical pulp (BCTMP) that meets this scope definition; and (c) any other coated paper and paperboard that meets this scope definition.
(See ITA notice for additional information, including the complete scope of the order, etc.
