SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 5, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results in the Federal Register . 1 We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results; ? 2 however, no interested party submitted comments. Accordingly, because we have made no changes to the Preliminary Results, the final results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results and there is no decision memorandum accompanying this Federal Register notice.

1 ? See Thermal Paper from the Republic of Korea: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022-2023, 89 FR 96640 (December 5, 2024) ( Preliminary Results ), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).
2 ? Id., 89 FR at 96641.
On December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled the deadline to issue the final results in this administrative review by 90 days. 3 Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now July 3, 2025. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Footnotes:
4 ? See Thermal Paper from Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Spain: Antidumping Duty Order, 86 FR 66284 (November 22, 2021) ( Order ).
The merchandise subject to the Order is thermal paper from Korea. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Results.
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period November 1, 2022, through October 31, 2023:
| Producer or exporter | Weighted-average dumping margin (percent) |
|---|---|
| Hansol Paper Company | 0.00 |
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations performed in connection with the final results of review within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final results in the Federal Register , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce made no changes from the Preliminary Results, there are no new calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. Because the weighted-average dumping margin for Hansol Paper Company (Hansol) is zero, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce's "automatic assessment" practice will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Hansol for which the reviewed company did not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary ( e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate ( i.e., 6.19 percent), 5 if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. 6

6 ? See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register . If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired ( i.e., within 90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication in the Federal Register of these final results of administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the company listed above will be zero, as established in the final results of this review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not covered by this review, the cash deposit will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the company participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will continue to be 6.19 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation. 7 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
