If importers fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.

For shipments of the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after January 21, 2026, the cash deposit rate for Suzano will be the rate established in these final results (14.42 percent).
