Summary: The DOC has determined that certain imports of tissue paper from Thailand exported by Sunlake Décor Co. Ltd. are circumventing the AD duty order on subject merchandise. The petitioner alleged that jumbo rolls and cut sheets of tissue paper produced in mainland China are sent to Thailand for completion or assembly into merchandise of the same class or kind as that covered by the AD duty order. Among other things, the petitioner contended that the conversion of jumbo rolls and/or sheets of tissue paper into cut-to-length tissue paper in Thailand is a minor or insignificant process. In light of Sunlake's refusal to co-operate in this proceeding, the DOC considered all tissue paper exports by this company from Thailand to be of mainland Chinese origin and has assessed a dumping margin of 112.64 percent on those shipments. The DOC has instructed CBP to continue to suspend liquidation and require a cash deposit of estimated duties on subject merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption from 21 October 2008.
