The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determination, though no vote is currently scheduled in the ITC's public calendar. 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 conducting concurrent antidumping duty and countervailing duty investigations on paper file folders from Cambodia (see 2503280057 and 2505300035).
Estimated AD Cash Deposit Rates
Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation for AD purposes for all entries of subject merchandise, and continue to require AD cash deposits as follows (unchanged from Commerce's preliminary determination):
| Producer | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Lanka Educational Products Pvt Ltd | 91.28% |
| All Others | 57.43% |
(The period of investigation for Sri Lanka is 10/01/23 through 09/30/24. See Commerce’s notice for more information, including the scope of the investigation (unchanged), detailed instructions on cash deposit rates, etc. See 2505300035 for a summary of the preliminary determination of this investigation.)
