Commerce found a zero dumping margin for imports of subject merchandise for the producer/exporter combination identified below.

Note for CBP: In message 4004401 (dated 01/04/2024, and corrected by message 4067404, dated 03/07/2024), Commerce incorrectly referred to Aeroplast Packaging Solution Private Limited; Aero Plast Limited; Aero Business Solutions Private Limited as Aero Plast Packaging Solutions Private Limited; Aeroplast Limited; Aero Business Solutions Private Limited. The names have been updated pursuant to 89 FR 45826. 6. If any entries of this merchandise are exported by a firm other than the producer, then the following instructions apply: A. If the exporter of the subject merchandise does not have its own rate but the producer has its own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the producer's rate. B. Where neither the exporter nor the producer currently has its own rate or the producer is unknown, use the all-others rate of 1.20 percent to establish the cash deposit rate. 7.
