Portugal Paper Faces Possible Duty Changes After Review
Published Date: 6/3/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that The Navigator Company from Portugal sold uncoated paper in the U.S. at prices lower than normal between March 2024 and February 2025. This means antidumping duties might change, affecting import costs and prices. The review started in 2025, and the government’s shutdown delayed some deadlines, so stay tuned for final decisions soon!
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
Importers must certify reimbursement
Importers are responsible for filing a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping duties under 19 CFR 351.402(f) prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. If an importer fails to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Preliminary 2.70% dumping margin
The Department of Commerce preliminarily found that The Navigator Company sold certain uncoated paper in the U.S. at less-than-normal value for the period March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2025 and calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of 2.70 percent. This preliminary margin can lead to antidumping duties on imports from Navigator if sustained in the final results.
Cash deposit rates after final results
For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results, the cash deposit rate for the company will be the rate established in the final results (unless that rate is less than 0.50 percent, in which case the deposit rate will be zero). For other manufacturers/exporters not covered in the review, the all-others cash deposit rate remains 7.80 percent.
How duties will be assessed
If Navigator's final dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (less than 0.50 percent), Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of the total dumping calculated for an importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those sales. Where entered values are not available for all sales, Commerce will calculate an importer-specific per-unit assessment rate and an ad valorem ratio to test for de minimis; if the final margin is zero or de minimis, CBP will liquidate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
