Canada Supercalendered Paper: End of CVD Order Retroactive to Beginning of Duty Collection

The Commerce Department will end countervailing duties on supercalendered paper from Canada (C-122-854) effective Aug. 3, 2015, it said in the final results of a changed circumstances review. As that's the date Commerce's began collecting CV duty cash deposits in its original investigation (see 1507310026), that means the duties will be revoked with no final assessment of CV duties on any importers of subject merchandise. For all subject merchandise entered on or after Aug. 3, 2015, Commerce will end suspension of liquidation and release all cash deposits collected, it said. Verso Corporation, the original requester of the duties, asked for revocation of the CV duty order. Commerce is also ending an ongoing CV duty administrative review as a result of the revocation. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer had announced the revocation in a statement on a World Trade Organization ruling against the CV duties (see 1807090025).
