SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On November 21, 2017, Commerce published the Preliminary Results in 
the Federal Register.\1\ We invited interested parties to comment on 
the Preliminary Results; however, no interested parties submitted 
comments. Accordingly, we made no changes to the Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Tissue Paper Products from the People's Republic 
of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2016-2017, 82 
FR 55348 (November 21, 2017) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying 
Memorandum from James Maeder, Senior Director performing the duties 
of the Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Operations, to Gary Taverman, Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, 
performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant 
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, ``Decision Memorandum for 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: 
Certain Tissue Paper Products from the People's Republic of China; 
2016-2017'' (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The tissue paper products subject to this order are cut-to-length 
sheets of tissue paper having a basis weight not exceeding 29 grams per 
square meter. Tissue paper products subject to this order may or may 
not be bleached, dye-colored, surface-colored, glazed, surface 
decorated or printed, sequined, crinkled, embossed, and/or die cut. The 
tissue paper subject to this order is in the form of cut-to-length 
sheets of tissue paper with a width equal to or greater than one-half 
(0.5) inch. Subject tissue paper may be flat or folded, and may be 
packaged by banding or wrapping with paper or film, by placing in 
plastic or film bags, and/or by placing in boxes for distribution and 
use by the ultimate consumer. Packages of tissue paper subject to this 
order may consist solely of tissue paper of one color and/or style, or 
may contain multiple colors and/or styles.
    The merchandise subject to this order does not have specific 
classification numbers assigned to them under the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Subject merchandise may be under 
one or more of several different subheadings, including: 4802.30, 
4802.54, 4802.61, 4802.62, 4802.69, 4804.31.1000, 4804.31.2000, 
4804.31.4020, 4804.31.4040, 4804.31.6000, 4804.39, 4805.91.1090, 
4805.91.5000, 4805.91.7000, 4806.40, 4808.30, 4808.90, 4811.90, 
4823.90, 4802.50.00, 4802.90.00, 4805.91.90, 9505.90.40. The tariff 
classifications are provided for convenience and customs purposes; 
however, the written description of the scope of this order is 
dispositive.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ On January 30, 2007, at the direction of U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP), Commerce added the following HTSUS 
classifications to the AD/CVD module for tissue paper: 4802.54.3100, 
4802.54.6100, and 4823.90.6700. However, we note that the six-digit 
classifications for these numbers were already listed in the scope.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Excluded from the scope of this order are the following tissue 
paper products: (1) Tissue paper products that are coated in wax, 
paraffin, or polymers, of a kind used in floral and food service 
applications; (2) tissue paper products that have been perforated, 
embossed, or die-cut to the shape of a toilet seat, i.e., disposable 
sanitary covers for toilet seats; (3) toilet or facial tissue stock, 
towel or napkin stock, paper of a kind used for household or sanitary 
purposes, cellulose wadding, and webs of cellulose fibers (HTS 
4803.00.20.00 and 4803.00.40.00).

Final Determination of No Shipments

    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Chung Rhy did 
not have any shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. As we 
have not received any information to contradict our preliminary 
finding, we determine that Chung Rhy did not have any shipments of 
subject merchandise during the POR and we intend to issue appropriate 
instructions that are consistent with our ``automatic assessment'' 
clarification, for these final results.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (Assessment 
Notice); see also ``Assessment Rates'' section below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    Commerce has conducted this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). In the 
Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Global Key was ineligible 
for a separate rate and is part of the China-wide entity, subject to 
the China-wide entity rate of 112.64 percent.\4\ As we have not 
received any information since the issuance of the Preliminary Results 
that provides a basis for reconsidering this determination, we continue 
to find that Global Key is ineligible for a separate rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Preliminary Results, 82 FR at 55349, and Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum at 4.

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
Commerce has determined, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with these 
final results of administrative review. Commerce intends to issue 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of 
these final results of review. With regard to Global Key, we will 
instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 112.64 percent 
to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR which were 
produced and/or exported by Global Key.
    Additionally, consistent with our assessment practice in non-market 
economy cases, for Chung Rhy, an exporter under review which we 
determined had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended 
entries made under that exporter's case number (i.e., at that 
exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the China-wide rate.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Assessment 
Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of these final results of administrative review for 
shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided by sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously 
investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that 
received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific 
rate; (2) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have 
not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, including Global Key, 
the cash deposit rate will be that for the China-wide entity, which is 
112.64 percent; and (3) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject 
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied 
that non-Chinese exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or 
destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective 
order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and 
terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice of the final results of this antidumping duty 
administrative review is issued and published in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
