Highlights of the fact sheet include:
Final AD Rate of 20.13% upon Publication
In the AD investigation, the ITA has found that Indonesian producers/exporters have certain coated paper in the U.S. at a margin of 20.13%.
Mandatory respondent Asia Pulp and Paper/Sinar Mas Group of companies (which includes PT. Pabrik Kertas Tjiwi Kimia Tbk. (Tjiwi Kimia or TK); PT. Pindo Deli Pulp and Paper Mills (Pindo Deli or PD); and PT. Indah Kiat Pulp & Paper, Tbk.(Indah Kiat or IK)) (APP/SMG) will receive a final AD duty rate of 20.13%. All other Indonesian exporters will receive a final AD duty rate of 20.13%.
As a result of this final AD determination, the ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect a cash deposit or bond on imports of certain coated paper from Indonesia based on these final AD rates upon publication in the Federal Register.
Final CV Rate of 17.94% if Final Injury Found
In the CV investigation, the ITA has determined that the producers/exporters have received net countervailable subsidies at the rate of 17.94%.
APP/SMG will receive a CV duty rate of 17.94%. All other Indonesian producers/exporters will receive a CV duty rate of 17.94%.
Because the maximum period for the collection of provisional measures in the CV investigation has expired, CV duty cash deposits will not be required unless the International Trade Commission reaches a final determination that the U.S. industry is being injured by imports of certain coated paper from Indonesia.
(The ITA has issued instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection to discontinue CV suspension of liquidation on entries of coated paper from Indonesia with a time of entry on or after July 7, 2010. Suspension of liquidation continues for entries made during the period March 9 through July 6, 2010. CBP’s ADD/CVD message is available here.)
ITC to Issue Final Injury Determinations in November 2010
The ITC is scheduled to issue its final injury determinations on or about November 4, 2010. If the ITC makes affirmative determinations that imports of certain coated paper from Indonesia materially injure, or threaten material injury to, the domestic industry, the ITA will issue AD and CV duty orders. If the ITC makes negative injury determinations, these investigations will be terminated.
