to which a ‘‘dusting’’ layer of rice or wheat 

flour of at least 95 percent purity has been 

applied; (3) with the entire surface of the 

shrimp flesh thoroughly and evenly coated 

with the flour; (4) with the non-shrimp 

content of the end product constituting 

between four and ten percent of the product’s 

total weight after being dusted, but prior to 

being frozen; and (5) that is subjected to 

individually quick frozen (IQF) freezing 

immediately after application of the dusting

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 705(d) 

and 735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), on October 5, 2023, 

Commerce published its affirmative 

final determinations in the less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigations of paper 

file folders from China, India, and 

Vietnam,1 and its affirmative final 

determination that countervailable 

subsidies are being provided to 

producers and exporters of paper file 

folders from India.2

On November 13, 2023, pursuant to 

sections 705(d) and 735(d) of the Act, 

the ITC notified Commerce of its final 

affirmative determinations that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of LTFV 

imports of paper file folders from China, 

India, and Vietnam, and subsidized 

imports of paper file folders from India, 

within the meaning of sections 

705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the 

Act.3

Scope of the Orders 

The products covered by these orders 

are paper file folders from China, India, 

and Vietnam. For a complete 

description of the scope of the orders, 

see the appendix to this notice. 

AD Orders 

On November 13, 2023, in accordance 

with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC 

notified Commerce of its final 

determinations that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured 

within the meaning of section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of 

imports of paper file folders from China, 

India, and Vietnam that are sold in the 

United States at LTFV.4 Therefore, in 

accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 

736 of the Act, Commerce is issuing 

these AD orders. Because the ITC 

determined that imports of paper file 

folders from China, India, and Vietnam 

are materially injuring a U.S. industry, 

unliquidated entries of such 

merchandise from China, India, and 

Vietnam, entered or withdrawn from 

warehouse for consumption, are subject 

to the assessment of antidumping 

duties. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will 

direct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, antidumping 

duties equal to the amount by which the 

normal value of the merchandise 

exceeds the export price (or constructed 

export price) of the merchandise on all 

relevant entries of paper file folders 

from China, India, and Vietnam. 

Antidumping duties will be assessed on 

unliquidated entries of paper file folders 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after May 17, 

2023, the date of publication of the AD 

Preliminary Determinations,5 but will

not include entries occurring after the 

expiration of the provisional measures 

period and before publication of the 

ITC’s final injury determination, as 

further described below. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation and Cash Deposits—AD 

Except as noted in the ‘‘Provisional 

Measures—AD’’ section of this notice, 

in accordance with section 736 of the 

Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP 

to continue to suspend liquidation on 

all relevant entries of paper file folders 

from China, India and Vietnam. These 

instructions suspending liquidation will 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Commerce also intends to instruct 

CBP to require cash deposits equal to 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins indicated in the tables 

below, adjusted by the relevant subsidy 

offsets. Accordingly, effective on the 

date of publication in the Federal 

Register of the notice of the ITC’s final 

affirmative injury determination, CBP 

must require, at the same time as 

importers would normally deposit 

estimated customs duties on subject 

merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the 

rates listed in the tables below.

Provisional Measures—AD 

Section 733(d) of the Act states that 

suspension of liquidation pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months, except where exporters 

representing a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise 

request that Commerce extend the fourmonth period to no more than six 

months. At the request of exporters that 

accounted for a significant proportion of 

exports of paper file folders from China, 

India, and Vietnam, Commerce 

extended the four-month period to no 

more than six-months.7 In the 

underlying investigations, Commerce 

published the AD Preliminary 

Determinations on May 17, 2023. 

Therefore, the six-month period 

beginning on the date of the publication 

of the AD Preliminary Determinations 

ended on November 12, 2023. Pursuant 

to section 737(b) of the Act, the 

collection of cash deposits at the rates 

listed above will begin on the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determinations. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the 

Act and our practice, Commerce will 

instruct CBP to terminate the 

suspension of liquidation and to 

liquidate, without regard to 

antidumping duties, unliquidated 

entries of paper file folders from China, 

India, and Vietnam entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after November 13, 

2023, the first day provisional measures 

were no longer in effect, until and 

through the day preceding the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination in the Federal Register. 

Suspension of liquidation and the 

collection of cash deposits will resume 

on the date of publication of the ITC’s 

final determinations in the Federal 

Register. 

CVD Order 

As stated above, based on the abovereferenced affirmative final 

determination by the ITC that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured within the meaning 

of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by 

reason of subsidized imports of paper 

file folders from India,8 in accordance 

with section 705(c)(2) of the Act, 

Commerce is issuing this CVD order. 

Moreover, because the ITC determined 

that imports of paper file folders from 

India are materially injuring a U.S. 

industry, unliquidated entries of subject 

merchandise from India entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption, are subject to the 

assessment of countervailing duties. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

706(a) of the Act, Commerce intends to 

direct CBP to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, 

countervailing duties on all relevant 

entries of paper file folders from India, 

which are entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

March 20, 2023, the date of publication 

of the CVD Preliminary Determination, 

but will not include entries occurring 

after the expiration of the provisional 

measures period and before the 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination under section 705(b) of

‘‘Provisional Measures—CVD’’ section 

of this notice.9

Suspension of Liquidation and Cash 

Deposits—CVD 

In accordance with section 706 of the 

Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP 

to reinstitute the suspension of 

liquidation of paper file folders from 

India, effective on the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final affirmative 

injury determination in the Federal 

Register, and to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, pursuant to 

section 706(a)(1) of the Act, 

countervailing duties on each entry of 

subject merchandise in an amount based 

on the net countervailable subsidy rates 

below. On or after the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination in the Federal Register, 

CBP must require, at the same time as 

importers would normally deposit 

estimated customs duties on this 

merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the 

rates listed in the table below. These 

instructions suspending liquidation will 

remain in effect until further notice. The 

all-others rate applies to all producers or 

exporters not specifically listed below,

Provisional Measures—CVD 

Section 703(d) of the Act states that 

the suspension of liquidation pursuant 

to an affirmative preliminary 

determination may not remain in effect 

for more than four months. Commerce 

published the CVD Preliminary 

Determination on March 20, 2023.11 As 

such, the four-month period beginning 

on the date of the publication of the 

CVD Preliminary Determination ended 

on July 17, 2023. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

703(d) of the Act, we instructed CBP to 

terminate the suspension of liquidation 

and to liquidate, without regard to 

countervailing duties, unliquidated 

entries of paper file folders from India 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption, on or after July 18, 

2023, the date on which the provisional 

measures expired, until and through the 

day preceding the date of publication of 

the ITC’s final injury determination in 

the Federal Register. Suspension of 

liquidation and the collection of cash 

deposits will resume on the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final 

determination in the Federal Register. 

Establishment of the Annual Inquiry 

Service Lists 

On September 20, 2021, Commerce 

published the Final Rule in the Federal 

Register.12 On September 27, 2021, 

Commerce also published the 

Procedural Guidance in the Federal 

Register.13 The Final Rule and 

Procedural Guidance provide that 

Commerce will maintain an annual 

inquiry service list for each order or 

suspended investigation, and any 

interested party submitting a scope 

ruling application or request for 

circumvention inquiry shall serve a 

copy of the application or request on the 

persons on the annual inquiry service 

list for that order, as well as any 

companion order covering the same 

merchandise from the same country of 

origin.14

In accordance with the Procedural 

Guidance, for orders published in the 

Federal Register after November 4, 

2021, Commerce will create an annual 

inquiry service list segment in 

Commerce’s online e-filing and 

document management system, 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS), 

available at https://access.trade.gov, 

within five business days of publication 

of the notice of the order. Each annual 

inquiry service list will be saved in 

ACCESS, under each case number, and 

under a specific segment type called 

‘‘AISL-Annual Inquiry Service List.’’ 15

Interested parties who wish to be 

added to the annual inquiry service list 

for an order must submit an entry of 

appearance to the annual inquiry 

service list segment for the order in 

ACCESS within 30 days after the date of 

publication of the order. For ease of 

administration, Commerce requests that 

law firms with more than one attorney 

representing interested parties in an 

order designate a lead attorney to be 

included on the annual inquiry service 

list. Commerce will finalize the annual 

inquiry service list within five business 

days thereafter. As mentioned in the 

Procedural Guidance,16 the new annual 

inquiry service list will be in place until 

the following year, when the 

Opportunity Notice for the anniversary 

month of the order is published. 

Commerce may update an annual 

inquiry service list at any time as 

needed based on interested parties’ 

amendments to their entries of 

appearance to remove or otherwise 

modify their list of members and 

representatives, or to update contact 

information. Any changes or 

announcements pertaining to these 

procedures will be posted to the 

ACCESS website. 

Special Instructions for Petitioners and 

Foreign Governments 

In the Final Rule, Commerce stated 

that, ‘‘after an initial request and 

placement on the annual inquiry service 

list, both petitioners and foreign 

governments will automatically be 

placed on the annual inquiry service list 

in the years that follow.’’ 17

Accordingly, as stated above, the 

petitioner and the Governments of 

China, India, and Vietnam should 

submit their initial entries of 

appearance after publication of this 

notice in order to appear in the first 

annual inquiry service lists for these 

orders. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.225(n)(3), the petitioner and the 

Governments of China, India, and 

Vietnam will not need to resubmit their 

entries of appearance each year to 

continue to be included on the annual 

inquiry service list. However, the 

petitioner and the Governments of 

China, India, and Vietnam are 

responsible for making amendments to 

their entries of appearance during the 

annual update to the annual inquiry 

service list in accordance with the 

procedures described above.
