India's Dumped Paper Folders Face U.S. Antidumping Duty Hammer
Published Date: 5/13/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Navneet Education Limited from India sold paper file folders in the U.S. at unfairly low prices between May 2023 and October 2024. Meanwhile, the review for Kokuyo Riddhi Paper Products was canceled because they didn’t sell any during this time. These decisions could affect import duties and trade fairness starting May 13, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
Importer Certificate Requirement
If you import subject merchandise, you must file a certificate about whether antidumping or countervailing duties were reimbursed before liquidation of the entries. If you fail to file this certificate Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and could assess double antidumping duties and/or increase duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Preliminary 5.65% Dumping Margin
If you import paper file folders from Navneet Education Limited, Commerce preliminarily found a weighted-average dumping margin of 5.65% for the period May 17, 2023 through October 31, 2024. That preliminary finding can lead to antidumping duties being assessed on imports from Navneet if the final results confirm this rate.
Cash Deposit Rate Rules
When the final results are published, cash deposit rates for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after that publication date will be: Navneet's rate as set in the final results (unless it is less than 0.50% then the cash deposit rate will be zero), previously investigated companies keep their most recent company-specific rate, manufacturers' recent rates apply when exporter is not covered, and all other manufacturers or exporters remain at the all-others rate of 13.44%. These deposit rules remain in effect until further notice.
Automatic Assessment For Unknown Shipments
For Navneet-produced entries during the period where Navneet did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate calculated in the less-than-fair-value investigation if there is no rate for any intermediate company involved. This affects how certain shipments will be assessed at liquidation.
Review Rescinded For Kokuyo
Commerce rescinded the administrative review for Kokuyo Riddhi Paper Products because Kokuyo had no reviewable, suspended entries during the period May 17, 2023 through October 31, 2024. Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on Kokuyo entries at the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry, and Commerce intends to issue rescission instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication of this notice.
