Scope of the measure

The product covered by this order is file folders from Sri Lanka. For a complete description of the scope of the order, see the appendix to this notice. AD Order On September 22, 2025, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination that an industry in the United States is materially injured, within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of imports of file folders from Sri Lanka that are sold in the United States at LTFV. Therefore, in accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736(a) of the Act, Commerce is issuing this AD order. Because the ITC determined that imports of file folders from Sri Lanka are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from Sri Lanka, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise on all relevant entries of file folders from Sri Lanka. Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of file folders entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after May 29, 2025, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination, but will not include entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of the ITC's final injury determination, as further described below. See Paper File Folders from Sri Lanka: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 90 FR 22696 (May 29, 2025) (Preliminary Determination). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits Except as noted in the ``Provisional Measures'' section of this notice, in accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries of file folders from Sri Lanka, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the estimated dumping margins as indicated in the table below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register of the ITC final injury determination, CBP must require, at the same time that importers would normally deposit estimated duties on the merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates listed below. The all-others rate applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed, as appropriate. Estimated Dumping Margins The estimated dumping margins are as follows: Dumping Exporter/producer margin (percent) Lanka Educational Products Pvt Ltd * 91.28 All Others 57.43 * This rate is based on facts available with adverse inferences. Provisional Measures Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request that Commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months. Commerce published its affirmative Preliminary Determination on May 29, 2025. Commerce's Final Determination was not extended and was published on August 8, 2025. Therefore, the four-month period beginning on the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determination ended on September 25, 2025. Pursuant to section 737(b) of the Act, the collection of cash deposits at the rates listed above will begin on the date of publication of the ITC's final injury determination. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of file folders from Sri Lanka entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 26, 2025, the first day provisional measures were no longer in effect, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final injury determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal Register. Establishment of the Annual Inquiry Service Lists On September 20, 2021, Commerce published the Final Rule in the Federal Register. On September 27, 2021, Commerce also published the Procedural Guidance in the Federal Register.
