Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties regarding our Preliminary
Results, we made the following
company-specific changes to Navneet’s
final margin calculation: (1) We made
changes to the SAS Comparison Market
and Margin Programs for the beginning
date for U.S. sales; (2) we corrected the
margin program by applying the U.S.
dollar denomination for the duty
drawback credit; and (3) we corrected
the comparison market program by
applying the net quantity NTQTY2H,
net of returns, as the home market sales
quantity. We also corrected the draft
liquidation instructions for both
Navneet and Kokuyo Riddhi. As a result
of these changes, the weighted-average
dumping margin for Navneet and the
non-selected companies has changed.
Final Results of the Review
As a result of this review, the
Department calculated a dumping
margin of zero for both Kokuyo Riddhi
and Navneet. We are applying to the
non-selected companies the rates
calculated for the mandatory
respondents in these final results, as
referenced below.13

Duty Assessment
The Department shall determine and
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries.14 Pursuant to the
Final Modification for Reviews, because
the above-listed respondents’ weightedaverage dumping margins are zero, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.15 We intend to
issue assessment instructions directly 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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,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
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act): (1) The cash
deposit rate for 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
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the manufacturer of the
subject merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 3.91
percent, the all-others rate established
in the original antidumping duty
investigation.16 These cash deposit

Notification to Importers Regarding the
Reimbursement of Duties
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 the
Department’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 orders (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.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h).

Products Private Limited (Kokuyo Riddhi) is the successor-in-
interest to Riddhi Enterprises. See Certain Lined Paper Products

CCR--Kokuyo Riddhi), and the accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum. Accordingly, we refer to Kokuyo Riddhi and Riddhi
Enterprises as Kokuyo Riddhi in this review.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made the
following company-specific changes to Navneet's final margin
calculation: (1) We made changes to the SAS Comparison Market and
Margin Programs for the beginning date for U.S. sales; (2) we corrected
the margin program by applying the U.S. dollar denomination for the
duty drawback credit; and (3) we corrected the comparison market
program by applying the net quantity NTQTY2H, net of returns, as the
home market sales quantity. We also corrected the draft liquidation
instructions for both Navneet and Kokuyo Riddhi. As a result of these
changes, the weighted-average dumping margin for Navneet and the non-
selected companies has changed.
Final Results of the Review
As a result of this review, the Department calculated a dumping
margin of zero for both Kokuyo Riddhi and Navneet. We are applying to
the non-selected companies the rates calculated for the mandatory
respondents in these final results, as referenced below.\13\

Duty Assessment
The Department shall determine and Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.\14\
Pursuant to the Final Modification for Reviews, because the above-
listed respondents' weighted-average dumping margins are zero, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.\15\ We intend to issue assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this
review.

assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
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 the Department'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 orders (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.
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Dated: March 13, 2017.
