Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determination, currently scheduled for Nov. 13, according to a Commerce fact sheet. If the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue an AD order and duties will be made permanent. If the ITC finds no injury, the investigation will be terminated and all cash deposits refunded.
Commerce also is issuing its final determinations in the concurrent countervailing duty investigation on paper file folders from India, setting CVD rates at 3.78% to 90.98% for Indian exporters, though CVD cash deposit requirements are on hold as of July 18 pending the ITC's final injury determination (see 2310040037).
Estimated AD Cash Deposit Rates
Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation for AD purposes for all entries of subject merchandise, and require AD cash deposits as follows on entries on or after Oct. 5:
India
| Producer | AD Rate | Adjusted* |
|---|---|---|
| Navneet Education Limited | 17.22% | 13.44% |
| Kokuyo Riddhi Paper Products Pvt. Ltd. | 86.01% | 82.23% |
| LGPL Paper Industries Pvt. Limited | 86.01% | 82.23% |
| All Others | 17.22% | 13.44% |
*As adjusted for export subsidies found in the concurrent CV duty investigation on India. This rate will be the AD cash deposit rate if CV duty suspension of liquidation resumes effect. For now, the "AD Rate" column is the cash deposit rate.
