Germany Lightweight Thermal Paper: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review

The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on lightweight thermal paper from Germany (A-428-840) for Papierfabrik August Koehler AG, which was preliminarily assigned a 75.36 percent AD rate on the basis of adverse facts available (AFA). Koehler admitted to a fraud scheme to conceal some home market sales, the ITA said. While Koehler attempted to submit data to remedy the situation, the ITA rejected Koehler's submissions. These preliminary results are not in effect. The ITA may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for this company.
