SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 11, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of
this review in the Federal Register, and invited interested parties to
comment on those results.\1\ For a summary of the events that occurred
since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.\2\ Commerce conducted this administrative review in
accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).

Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 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. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly
at <a href="https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx">https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx</a>.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding the Preliminary Results, we made certain
changes to the margin calculation for ITC Limited,\4\ as well as the
selection of the rate for non-selected companies. For a discussion of
these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ As discussed in the Preliminary Results, we find that the
correct name of the company is ITC Limited, whereas the Initiation
Notice uses the name ``ITC Limited-Education and Stationary Products
Business,'' which is a division of ITC Limited, and not a legal
entity. See Preliminary Results, 89 FR at 82569; see also Initiation
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 88 FR
78298 (November 15, 2023) (Initiation Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rates for Companies Not Selected for Individual Examination
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 de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available{time} .'' 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.
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average
dumping margins exist for the period September 1, 2022, through August
31, 2023:

Disclosure
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 Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rate
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 de minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2),
we also calculated an importer-specific ad valorem ratio based on
estimated entered values. Where either the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19
CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or
de minimis, 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.g., 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 Federal Register. 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 (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
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 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 or completed
prior segment of this proceeding but the producer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the company-specific 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 rate
established in the
[[Page 13854]]
investigation of this proceeding.\6\ These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure
to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties has
occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties,
and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of
the countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
an 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 or 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
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5)
and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Dated: March 21, 2025.
