For a complete description of the scope, <E T="03">see</E> the Issues and Decision Memorandum. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Final Determination of No Shipments</HD> As noted in the <E T="03">Preliminary Results,</E> we received no-shipment claims from Dinakar Process Private Limited (Dinakar), JC Stationery (P) Ltd (JC Stationery), and M/s. Bhaskar Paper Products (Bhaskar), and we preliminarily determined that JC Stationery and Bhaskar had no shipments during the POR. <SU>4</SU> <FTREF/> <FTNT> <SU>4</SU>   <E T="03">See Preliminary Results,</E> 88 FR at 69126. </FTNT> Information on the record regarding U.S. Custom and Border Protection (CBP) entry data showed that Dinakar had suspended entries into the United States. <SU>5</SU> <FTREF/> Additionally, CBP reported information that contradicted Dinakar's no-shipment claim. <SU>6</SU> <FTREF/> Prior to the <E T="03">Preliminary Results,</E> Commerce requested that Dinakar and ITC Limited  <SU>7</SU> <FTREF/> correct customs entry forms that Dinakar and ITC Limited claim were filed incorrectly. <SU>8</SU> <FTREF/> Commerce preliminarily determined that the record did not support a finding of no shipments for Dinakar. <SU>9</SU> <FTREF/> <FTNT> <SU>5</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> Commerce's Letter dated April 3, 2023 (ACCESS barcode 4361597-01); <E T="03">see also</E> Memorandum, “Respondent Selection,” dated February 6, 2023, at Attachment. </FTNT> <FTNT> <SU>6</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> Memorandum, “Release of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Information Relating to December 22, 2022 Entry Document Request,” dated January 17, 2023. </FTNT> <FTNT> <SU>7</SU>  Commerce noted in the <E T="03">Preliminary Results</E> that we initiated this review on “ITC Limited-Education and Stationery Products Business” (ITC-ESPB), but record evidence indicates that ITC-ESPB is not a company but is merely a department of ITC Limited. Accordingly, ITC Limited is the entity subject to this review, not ITC-ESPB. There is no additional information on this record or arguments from parties following the <E T="03">Preliminary Results</E> that would lead Commerce to reevaluate this determination. </FTNT> <FTNT> <SU>8</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> Commerce's Letter dated March 9, 2023 (ACCESS barcode 4351661-01). </FTNT> <FTNT> <SU>9</SU>   <E T="03">See Preliminary Results,</E> 88 FR at 69125. </FTNT> Following the <E T="03">Preliminary Results,</E> Commerce again requested that Dinakar and ITC Limited provide information that the entry documentation that the parties claimed incorrectly listed Dinakar as the exporter or manufacturer of entries into the United States during the POR was revised. <SU>10</SU> <FTREF/> Dinakar and ITC Limited were unable to demonstrate that the entry documents were revised to remove Dinakar as the exporter of subject entries into the United States during the POR. <SU>11</SU> <FTREF/> Accordingly, Commerce determines that the record does not support a finding of no shipments for Dinakar. <FTNT> <SU>10</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> Commerce's Letters, “Supplemental Questionnaire,” dated November 3, 2023. (There were letters with identical titles issued separately to Dinakar and to ITC Limited on this date.) </FTNT> <FTNT> <SU>11</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 2. </FTNT> Following the publication of the <E T="03">Preliminary Results,</E> we received no comments from interested parties regarding JC Stationery and Bhaskar, nor has any party submitted record evidence which would call our preliminary determinations of no shipments for these two companies into question. Therefore, for the final results, we continue to find that JC Stationery and Bhaskar had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Accordingly, consistent with Commerce's practice, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate any existing entries of merchandise produced by JC Stationery and Bhaskar, but exported by other parties, at the rate for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at the all-others rate. <SU>12</SU> <FTREF/> <FTNT> <SU>12</SU>   <E T="03">See, e.g., Magnesium Metal from the Russian Federation: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,</E> 75 FR 26922, 26923 (May 13, 2010), unchanged in <E T="03">Magnesium Metal from the Russian Federation: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,</E> 75 FR 56989 (September 17, 2010). </FTNT> <HD SOURCE="HD1">Rates for Companies Not Selected for Individual Examination</HD> For the rate for non-selected respondents in an administrative review, generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a market economy investigation. 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 <E T="03">de minimis</E> 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 assigned a dumping margin to the companies not selected for individual review based on the weighted-average dumping margin calculated for ITC Limited. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Analysis of Comments Received</HD> All issues raised by parties in the case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is included in the appendix to this notice.
