1. On 09/05/2024 Commerce published in the Federal Register (89 FR 72375) its affirmative preliminary determination, affirmative critical circumstances, in part, and the postponement of the final determination in the antidumping duty investigation of certain paper plates from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam). 2. The products covered by this investigation are described in message 4057401, dated 02/26/2024. 3. This proceeding has been assigned case number A-552-839. 4. Because Commerce determined that critical circumstances exist for imports of certain paper plates from Vietnam, CBP shall suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of certain paper plates from Vietnam that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 06/07/2024 which is 90 days before the date of publication of the preliminary determination in the Federal Register. Effective 06/07/2024, for entries of certain paper plates from the Vietnam-wide entity listed below, CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the antidumping duty cash deposit, as adjusted to reflect offsets for certain subsidies associated with the companion countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of this merchandise (C-552-840), shown below: Exporter: Vietnam-Wide Entity Case number: A-552-839-000 Cash deposit rate: 159.79% 5. Commerce found a zero or de minimis dumping margin on imports of subject merchandise for the exporter/producer combination(s) identified below. Accordingly, CBP is directed not to suspend liquidation of imports of shipments, and not to collect cash deposits, from the exporter/producer combination(s). Exporter: Go-Pak Paper Products Vietnam Co., Ltd. Producer: Go-Pak Paper Products Vietnam Co., Ltd. Case number: A-552-839-001 This exclusion from suspension of liquidation does not apply to entries of merchandise: (i) exported by Go-Pak Paper Products Vietnam Co., Ltd. that is produced by any company other than Go-Pak Paper Products Vietnam Co., Ltd., (ii) produced by Go-Pak Paper Products Vietnam Co., Ltd. that is exported by any company other than Go-Pak Paper Products Vietnam Co., Ltd., or (iii) exported by a company that sourced from this excluded combination. Accordingly, such merchandise should be entered under the case number and cash deposit rate for the appropriate exporter/producer combination (or the Vietnam-wide entity) under the sub-paragraph(s) above. 6. For all other entries of certain paper plates from Vietnam, the following cash deposit instructions apply: A. For all Vietnamese exporters of certain paper plates from Vietnam which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the Vietnam-wide rate. B. For all non-Vietnamese exporters of certain paper plates from Vietnam which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter/producer combinations that supplied that non-Vietnamese exporter, or, if the exporter/producer combinations do not have their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the Vietnam-wide rate. 7.
