were not selected for individual
examination and remain subject to this
administrative review: Lodha, Magic
International Pvt. Ltd., Marisa, Pioneer
Stationery Pvt. Ltd., and SGM Paper

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the CLPP
from India Order is certain lined paper
products. The merchandise subject to
this order is currently classified under
the following Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
subheadings: 4811.90.9035,
4811.90.9080, 4820.30.0040,

Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments

reported that they had no exports or
sales of subject merchandise into the
United States during the POR. To

confirm Lodha’s and Marisa’s noshipment claims, Commerce issued a
no-shipment inquiry to U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) requesting
that it review Lodha’s and Marisa’s noshipment claims. CBP did not report
that it had any information to contradict
these claims of no shipments during the
POR.
Given that Lodha and Marisa reported
that they made no shipments of subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR, and there is no information
calling their claims into question, we
preliminarily determine that Lodha and
Marisa made no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR. Consistent
with Commerce’s practice, we will not
rescind the review with respect to
Lodha and Marisa but, rather, will
complete the review and issue
instructions to CBP based on the final
results.8
Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we
preliminarily calculated a dumping
margin of 0.33 percent (de minimis) for
Navneet and zero percent for Kokuyo.
We are applying to the non-selected
companies the rates calculated for the
mandatory respondents in these
preliminary results, as referenced

Memorandum and the electronic

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
attached as an Appendix to this notice.
Assessment Rate
Upon issuance of the final results,
Commerce shall determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review. If the weighted-average
dumping margin for Kokuyo or Navneet
is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than
0.5 percent), we will calculate importerspecific ad valorem antidumping duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated
for each importer’s examined sales to
the total entered value of those same
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).10 If the weighted-average
dumping margin for Kokuyo or Navneet
is zero or de minimis in the final results,
or an importer-specific assessment rate
is zero or de minimis in the final results,
we will instruct CBP not to assess
antidumping duties on any of their
entries in accordance with the Final
Modification for Reviews.11
In accordance with Commerce’s
assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by each respondent for which
it did not know that its merchandise
was destined for the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties and/or
countervailing duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and increase the
subsequent assessment of the
antidumping duties.

results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
On December 11 and 18, 2017, in their respective responses to
Commerce's quantity and value questionnaire, Lodha and Marisa reported
that they had no exports or sales of subject merchandise into the
United States during the POR. To confirm Lodha's and Marisa's no-
shipment claims, Commerce issued a no-shipment inquiry to U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) requesting that it review Lodha's and
Marisa's no-shipment claims. CBP did not report that it had any
information to contradict these claims of no shipments during the POR.
Given that Lodha and Marisa reported that they made no shipments of
subject merchandise to the United States during the POR, and there is
no information calling their claims into question, we preliminarily
determine that Lodha and Marisa made no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR. Consistent with Commerce's practice, we
will not rescind the review with respect to Lodha and Marisa but,

Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(2) of the the Act. Export price is calculated in accordance with
section 772 of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance with
section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology
underlying our preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum. The Preliminary 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 https://access.trade.gov and is available to all parties in the Central Records
Unit, Room B-8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision memorandum can
be accessed directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the electronic version
of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content. A list
of the topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
attached as an Appendix to this notice.
Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily calculated a dumping
margin of 0.33 percent (de minimis) for Navneet and zero percent for
Kokuyo. We are applying to the non-selected companies the rates
calculated for the mandatory respondents in these preliminary results,
as referenced below.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Magic International Pvt. Ltd............ 0.00

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rate
Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review. If the weighted-average dumping margin for Kokuyo or
Navneet is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we
will calculate importer-specific ad valorem antidumping duty assessment
rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for
each importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those same
sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\10\ If the weighted-
average dumping margin for Kokuyo or Navneet is zero or de minimis in
the final results, or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or
de minimis in the final results, we will instruct CBP not to assess
antidumping duties on any of their entries in accordance with the Final
Modification for Reviews.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ In these preliminary results, Commerce applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012). (Final Modification
for Reviews).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by each respondent for
which it did not know that its merchandise was destined for the United
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.
[[Page 50888]]
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of
the final results of this review.

in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation, but the
producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the
most recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or countervailing
duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review
period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the
Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and increase the subsequent assessment of the antidumping
duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
