SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce published the Preliminary Results on November 14, 2019.\1\
On February 28, 2020, Commerce extended the deadline for these final
results until May 12, 2020.\2\ For a complete description of events

Memorandum.

Administrative Review: 2017-2018,'' dated February 28, 2020.

Duty Administrative Review; 2017-2018,'' dated concurrently with,
and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order is certain lined paper
products from India. For a complete description of the scope of this
order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, we preliminarily found that Lodha
Offset Limited, Pioneer Stationery Private Limited, and Marisa
International had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.
Following the publication of the Preliminary Results, we received no
comments from interested parties regarding these companies, nor has any
party submitted record evidence which would call our preliminary
determination of no shipments into question. Therefore, for the final
results, we continue to find that these three companies had no
shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Accordingly,
consistent with Commerce's practice, we intend to instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate any existing entries of
merchandise produced by these three companies, but exported by other
parties, at the rate for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at
the all-others rate.\4\

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made certain
revisions to the preliminary margin calculations for Navneet and
SAB.\5\ For Navneet, we used Navneet's comparison market sales to
calculate NV rather than relying on constructed value.\6\ For SAB, we
(1) revised SAB's rent payment to an affiliated party; (2) recalculated
SAB's reported scrap offset, and (3) reversed the incorrect conversion
for credit expenses from positive to negative.\7\

We have determined the following weighted-average dumping margins
for the exporters or producers listed below for the POR: \8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ For the companies that were not selected for individual
review, we assigned a rate based on the rates for the respondents
that were selected for individual review, excluding any rates that
are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. See
section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed in connection with
these final results within five days after publication of these final
results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this review. For any individually-
examined respondent whose weighted-average dumping margin is above de
minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), Commerce will calculate importer-specific
assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales and
the total entered value of the sales, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where either a respondent's weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer- or customer-specific ad
valorem rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each
respondent for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for
the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction. As indicated above, for the
companies that had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate any existing entries of merchandise
produced by these companies, but exported by other parties, at the all-
others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction. We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of
this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate
for the respondents noted above will be the rate established in the
final results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise
exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in this
administrative review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding;
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation, but the producer is, then the
cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 3.91 percent, the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.\9\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred and
the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction
of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
