A list of the issues that parties raised and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached at Appendix I to this notice.

For a discussion of these changes, <E T="03">see</E> the Issues and Decision Memorandum. <FTNT> <SU>4</SU>  As discussed in the <E T="03">Preliminary Results,</E> we find that the correct name of the company is ITC Limited, whereas the <E T="03">Initiation Notice</E> uses the name “ITC Limited-Education and Stationary Products Business,” which is a division of ITC Limited, and not a legal entity. <E T="03">See Preliminary Results,</E> 89 FR at 82569; <E T="03">see also Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews,</E> 88 FR 78298 (November 15, 2023) ( <E T="03">Initiation Notice</E> ). </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 Education Ltd. 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">Final Results of Review</HD> Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period September 1, 2022, through August 31, 2023: <FTREF/> <FTNT> <SU>5</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> Appendix II for a full list of the companies not individually examined in this review. </FTNT> <GPOTABLE COLS="2" OPTS="L2,tp0,i1" CDEF="s50,9"> <TTITLE> </TTITLE> <CHED H="1">Producer or exporter</CHED> <ENT>1.07</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="01">Navneet Education Ltd</ENT> <ENT>0.00</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="01"> Non-Selected Companies  <ENT>1.07</ENT> </ROW> </GPOTABLE> <HD SOURCE="HD1">Disclosure</HD> Commerce intends to disclose to interested parties the calculations performed for these final results in this review within five days of the date of publication of this notice in the <E T="04">Federal Register</E> , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). <HD SOURCE="HD1">Assessment Rate</HD> Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where the respondent reported the entered value of its U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific antidumping duty assessment rates by aggregating the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales of each importer and dividing each of these amounts by the total entered value associated with those sales. Where the respondent did not report entered value, we calculated 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 sales. To determine whether an importer-specific, per-unit assessment rate is <E T="03">de minimis,</E> in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also calculated an importer-specific <E T="03">ad valorem</E> ratio based on estimated entered values. Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or <E T="03">de minimis</E> within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or <E T="03">de minimis,</E> we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. Commerce's “automatic assessment” will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by the mandatory respondents for which the companies did not know that the merchandise they sold to an intermediary ( <E T="03">e.g.,</E> a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate companies involved in the transaction. Further, the assessment rate for antidumping duties for each of the companies not selected for individual examination will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin identified above in “Final Results of Review.” Commerce intends 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 <E T="04">Federal Register</E> . 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 ( <E T="03">i.e.,</E> within 90 days of publication). <HD SOURCE="HD1">Cash Deposit Requirements</HD> 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 rates for the companies identified above in the “Final Results of Review” section will be equal to the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by a company not covered in this administrative review but covered in a completed prior segment of the proceeding, the cash ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Preview showing 10k of 14k characters.
