Scope of the Anti-Circumvention Inquiry

    The merchandise subject to this anti-circumvention inquiry consists 
of 83 Bright paper with a GE brightness of 83 1%, and 
otherwise meeting the description of the scope of the Orders. On August 
1, 2016, the petitioners clarified that, consistent with 19 CFR 
351.225(m), they intended for the Department to conduct a single anti-
circumvention inquiry and issue a single ruling applicable to each of 
the Orders. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(m), we find it 
appropriate to apply the results of this inquiry to each of the 
Orders.\5\

    The Department conducted this anti-circumvention determination in 
accordance with section 781(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.225(i). For a full description of the 
methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum. A list of the topics discussed is attached to this notice 
in the Appendix.
    The Issues and Decision Memorandum is on file electronically via

Final Affirmative Determination of Circumvention

    As detailed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we determine, 
pursuant to section 781(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.225(i), that 
imports of 83 Bright paper, otherwise meeting the description of in-
scope merchandise, constitute merchandise ``altered in form or 
appearance in minor respects'' from in-scope merchandise and are 
subject to the Orders.

Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(l)(2), we are directing U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend liquidation 
of entries of 83 Bright paper entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after November 7, 2016, the date of publication of 
the initiation of this inquiry, until appropriate liquidation 
instructions are issued. We will also instruct CBP to continue to 
require a cash deposit of estimated duties at the applicable rates for 
each unliquidated entry of the product entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after November 7, 2016, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.225(l)(2).
