APPLETON, Wis., June 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Appvion, Inc. applauded the final redetermination results issued by the Department of Commerce (the Department) in the remand of the second administrative review of the antidumping order on imports of lightweight thermal paper (LWTP) from Germany.
The Department found that Papierfabrik August Koehler AG (Koehler) intentionally provided fraudulent and incomplete information regarding its home market sales during the period from November 2009 to October 2010.
The Department noted in its decision that "because we cannot determine whether any other misrepresentations exist on the record with regard to Koehler's full universe of sales, and because we find Koehler's reported data are otherwise unreliable as a result of Koehler's concealment of certain of home market sales data, we are unable to rely upon the data Koehler reported in this segment. Furthermore, we find that Koehler deliberately provided false information, despite the fact that Koehler and its representatives certified to the accuracy and completeness of such information."
Once affirmed by the Court of International Trade, the Department's finding paves the way for U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect antidumping duties at a rate of 75.36 percent on all imports from Koehler for the period November 1, 2009, to October 31, 2010.
