Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review; and Preliminary Determination 

of No Shipments; 2021–2022 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily 

finds that producers and/or exporters 

subject to this administrative review 

made sales of subject merchandise at 

less than normal value (NV) during the 

period of review (POR), September 1, 

2021, through August 31, 2022. We 

invite interested parties to comment on 

these preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 28, 2006, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on certain lined 

paper products from India.1 On 

September 1, 2022, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the Order.2 On 

November 3, 2022, based on timely 

requests for review and in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 

CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce 

initiated an administrative review of the 

Order with respect to ten companies: 

Cellpage Ventures Private Limited, 

Dinakar Process Private Limited 

(Dinakar), ITC Limited-Education and 

Stationery Products Business (ITC 

Limited),3 JC Stationery (P) Ltd (JC 

Stationery), Lotus Global Private 

Limited, M/s. Bhaskar Paper Products 

(Bhaskar), Navneet Education Ltd 

(Navneet), Pioneer Stationery Private 

Limited, PP Bafna Ventures Private 

Limited, and SGM Paper Products.4 On 

February 6, 2023, Commerce selected 

Dinakar and Navneet as mandatory 

respondents in this administrative 

review.5 As noted in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum, Commerce has 

preliminarily determined that ITC 

Limited should replace Dinakar as a 

mandatory respondent because we 

preliminarily determine that ITC 

Limited was the price discriminator for 

the U.S. sales at issue during the POR.6

Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act, Commerce extended the deadline 

for the preliminary results until 

September 29, 2023.7

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.8 A list of topics 

included in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included in the 

appendix to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

Order is certain lined paper products. 

For a full description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.9

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

On December 5, 2022, Bhaskar, 

Dinakar, and JC Stationery submitted 

no-shipment certifications.10

Information on the record regarding U.S. 

Custom and Border Protection (CBP) 

entry data showed that Dinakar had 

suspended entries into the United 

States.11 Additionally, CBP reported 

information that contradicted Dinakar’s 

no-shipment claim.12 Following 

supplemental filings by Dinakar and ITC 

Limited and ex-parte meetings with 

counsel, Commerce asked ITC Limited 

to file a full questionnaire response in 

this review because of its involvement 

in the U.S. sales associated with 

Dinakar.13 Commerce also requested 

that the customs entry forms that 

Dinakar and ITC Limited claim were 

filed incorrectly be revised.14 At the 

time of these preliminary results, there 

is no evidence on the record that the 

relevant entries have been corrected. 

Accordingly, Commerce preliminarily 

determines that the record does not 

support a finding of no shipments for 

Dinakar. 

To confirm the no-shipment claims by 

Bhaskar and JC Stationery, on December 

9, 2022, Commerce issued no-shipment

inquiries to CBP.15 CBP reported that it 

had no information to contradict the noshipment claims of Bhaskar and JC 

Stationery during the POR.16 Given that 

Bhaskar and JC Stationery reported that 

they made no shipments of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR, and there is no information 

calling these companies’ claims into 

question, we preliminarily determine 

that Bhaskar and JC Stationery did not 

have any reviewable transactions during 

the POR. With respect to Bhaskar and JC 

Stationery, consistent with Commerce’s 

practice, we will not rescind the review 

regarding these companies but, rather, 

will complete the review and issue 

instructions to CBP based on the final 

results of this review.17

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(2) of 

the Act. Export price was calculated in 

accordance with section 772 of the Act. 

NV was calculated in accordance with 

section 773 of the Act. For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying these preliminary results, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Rate for Non-Selected Companies 

The Act and Commerce’s regulations 

do not address the establishment of a 

rate to be applied to companies not 

selected for individual examination 

when Commerce limits its examination 

in an administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, 

Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of 

the Act, which provides instructions for 

calculating the all-others rate in an 

investigation, for guidance when 

calculating the rate for companies 

which were not selected for individual 

examination in an administrative 

review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act, the all-others rate is normally 

‘‘an amount equal to the weighted 

average of the estimated weighted 

average dumping margins established 

for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ 

In this segment of the proceeding, 

because the rate calculated for Navneet 

is zero, we have preliminarily assigned 

a dumping margin to these companies 

based on the weighted-average dumping 

margin calculated for ITC Limited. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

We preliminarily determine that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins exist for the period 

September 1, 2021, through August 31, 

2022: 

Producer/exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

used for these preliminary results to 

interested parties within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).18

Commerce also intends to issue postpreliminary supplemental 

questionnaires subsequent to the 

publication of this notice. Thus, 

Commerce will announce the briefing 

schedule to interested parties at a later 

date. Interested parties may submit case 

briefs on the deadline that Commerce 

will announce. Rebuttal briefs, limited 

to issues raised in the case briefs, may 

be filed no later than seven days after 

the date for filing case briefs.19 Parties 

who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs 

in this review are encouraged to submit 

with each argument: (1) a statement of 

the issue; (2) a brief summary of the 

argument; and (3) a table of 

authorities.20 Executive summaries 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. All briefs must be 

filed electronically using ACCESS. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, within 30 days after 

the date of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register.21 Requests should 

contain: (1) the party’s name, address, 

and telephone number; (2) the number 

of participants; (3) whether any 

participant is a foreign national; and (4) 

a list of issues to be discussed. Issues 

raised in the hearing will be limited to 

those raised in the respective case and 

rebuttal briefs.22 If a request for a 

hearing is made, Commerce will 

announce the date and time of the 

hearing. Parties should confirm by 

telephone the date, time, and location of 

the hearing two days before the 

scheduled hearing date. 

Note that Commerce has temporarily 

modified certain of its requirements for 

serving documents containing business 

proprietary information, until further 

notice.23 An electronically filed 

document must be received successfully 

in its entirety in ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on the due date. 

We intend to issue the final results of 

this administrative review, including 

the results of our analysis of the issues 

raised in any written briefs, not later 

than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, unless 

extended, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

this review, Commerce shall determine, 

and CBP shall assess, antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries covered 

by this review. If the weighted-average 

dumping margin for a mandatory 

respondent is not zero or de minimis 

(i.e., greater than or equal to 0.5 percent) 

in the final results of this review, we 

will calculate an importer-specific ad 

valorem antidumping duty assessment 

rate based on the ratio of the total 

amount of dumping calculated for each 

importer’s examined sales and the total 

entered value of those same sales, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).24

If a mandatory respondent has not 

reported entered values, we will 

calculate a per-unit assessment rate for 

each importer by dividing the total 

amount of dumping calculated for the 

examined sales made to that importer by

the total quantity associated with those 

transactions. To determine whether an 

importer-specific, per-unit assessment 

rate is de minimis, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also will 

calculate an importer-specific ad 

valorem ratio based on estimated 

entered values. If the weighted-average 

dumping margin is zero or de minimis, 

or an importer-specific assessment ad 

valorem rate is zero or de minimis, we 

intend to instruct CBP to liquidate 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. The final results of 

this review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by this 

review where applicable.25

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Navneet or 

ITC Limited for which they did not 

know their merchandise was destined 

for the United States, we will instruct 

CBP to liquidate those entries at the allothers rate (i.e., 3.91 percent) 26 if there 

is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction. 

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual examination, we 

intend to assign an antidumping duty 

assessment rate equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin determined for 

the non-examined companies in the 

final results of review. 

We intend to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication of the 

final results of this review in the 

Federal Register. If a timely summons is 

filed at the U.S. Court of International 

Trade, the assessment instructions will 

direct CBP not to liquidate relevant 

entries until the time for parties to file 

a request for a statutory injunction has 

expired (i.e., within 90 days of 

publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rate for companies subject 

to this review will be equal to the 

company-specific weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this administrative review, 

except if the rate is less than 0.50 

percent and, therefore, de minimis 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash 

deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which the company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the less-than-fair-value 

investigation (LTFV) investigation, but 

the producer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be the all-others rate of 

3.91 percent, the rate established in the 

LTFV investigation of this proceeding.27

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties and/or 

countervailing duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(2) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
