provided for in subheading 4820.30.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 
of the United States, that have been found by the U.S. Department of 
Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States at less than 
fair value (``LTFV''), and to be subsidized by the government of 
India.\2\

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations, effective October 
12, 2022, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by the Coalition of Domestic Folder Manufacturers, Hastings, 
Minnesota and Naperville, Illinois. The final phase of the 
investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification 
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of paper file 
folders from India were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and imports of paper file folders from 
China, India, and Vietnam were sold at LTFV within the meaning of 
733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the 
final phase of the Commission's investigations and of a public hearing 
to be held in connection therewith was given by posting copies of the 
notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade 
Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal 
Register on June 8, 2023 (88 FR 37579). The public hearing in 
connection with the investigations, originally scheduled for October 3, 
2023, was cancelled.\3\

1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on November 13, 2023. The views of the Commission are
