Coated Paper Suitable for High-Quality Print Graphics Using 
Sheet-Fed Presses From Indonesia and the People's Republic of China: 
Continuation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 
International Trade Commission (ITC) have determined that revocation of 
the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on 
coated paper suitable for high-quality print graphics using sheet-fed 
presses (coated paper) from Indonesia and the People's Republic of 
China (China) would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of 
material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably 
foreseeable time. Therefore, Commerce is publishing a notice of 
continuation of these AD and CVD orders.

DATES: Applicable June 13, 2022.

Background

    On November 17, 2010, Commerce published in the Federal Register 
the AD and CVD orders on coated paper from China and Indonesia.\1\ On 
December 1, 2021, the ITC instituted,\2\ and Commerce initiated,\3\ the 
second sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of its reviews, 
Commerce determined that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to 
the continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies 
and, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins and 
net subsidy rates likely to prevail should the Orders be revoked.\4\ On 
June 7, 2022, the ITC published its determinations, pursuant to 
sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that revocation of the Orders 
would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to 
an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable 
time.\5\

Scope of the Orders

    The merchandise covered by the Orders includes certain coated paper 
and paperboard \6\ in sheets suitable for high quality print graphics 
using sheet-fed presses; coated on one or both sides with kaolin (China 
or other clay), calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, and/or other 
inorganic substances; with or without a binder; having a GE brightness 
level of 80 or higher,\7\ weighing not more than 340 grams per square 
meter; whether gloss grade, satin grade, matte grade, dull grade, or 
any other grade of finish; whether or not surface-colored, surface-
decorated, printed (except as described below), embossed, or 
perforated; and irrespective of dimensions (Certain Coated Paper).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ ``Paperboard'' refers to Certain Coated Paper that is 
heavier, thicker and more rigid than coated paper which otherwise 
meets the product description. In the context of Certain Coated 
Paper, paperboard typically is referred to as ``cover,'' to 
distinguish it from ``text.''
    \7\ One of the key measurements of any grade of paper is 
brightness. Generally speaking, the brighter the paper the better 
the contrast between the paper and the ink. Brightness is measured 
using a GE Reflectance Scale, which measures the reflection of light 
off of a grade of paper. One is the lowest reflection, or what would 
be given to a totally black grade, and 100 is the brightest measured 
grade.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Certain Coated Paper includes (a) coated free sheet paper and 
paperboard that meets this scope definition; (b) coated groundwood 
paper and paperboard produced from bleached chemi-thermo-mechanical 
pulp (BCTMP) that meets this scope definition; and (c) any other coated 
paper and paperboard that meets this scope definition.
    Certain Coated Paper is typically (but not exclusively) used for 
printing multi-colored graphics for catalogues, books, magazines, 
envelopes, labels and wraps, greeting cards, and other commercial 
printing applications requiring high quality print graphics.
    Specifically excluded from the scope are imports of paper and 
paperboard printed with final content printed text or graphics.
    Imports of the subject merchandise are provided for under the 
following categories of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States (HTSUS): 4810.14.11, 4810.14.1900, 4810.14.2010, 4810.14.2090,

of the Orders is dispositive.

Commerce intends to initiate the next five-year reviews of the Orders 
not later than 30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective 
date of continuation.
