PART I.—GENERAL INFORMATION
Background.‐‐On November 25, 1994, the Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) issued an
antidumping duty order on imports of paper clips from China. On June 1, 2016, the Commission
instituted a review pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1675(c)) (the Act) to
determine whether revocation of the order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. If both the Commission
and Commerce make an affirmative determination, the order will remain in place. If either the
Commission or Commerce makes a negative determination, Commerce will revoke the order.
Questionnaires and other information pertinent to this proceeding are available at
https://www.usitc.gov/investigations/701731/2016/paper_clips_china/fourth_review_full.htm.

except as specifically excluded. The products subject to the order may have a rectangular or ring‐like

clips, binder clips, or other paper fasteners that are not made wholly of wire of base metal and are

III‐9b. Financial data reconciliation.‐‐The calculable line items from question III‐9a (i.e., total net sales
quantities and values, total COGS, gross profit (or loss), total SG&A, and net income (or loss))
have been calculated from the data submitted in the other line items. Do the calculated fields
return the correct data according to your firm's financial records ignoring non‐material
differences that may arise due to rounding?
Yes No‐‐If the calculated fields do not show the correct data, please double check the
feeder data for data entry errors and revise.
Also, check signs accorded to the post operating income line items; the two
expense line items should report positive numbers (i.e., expenses are
positive and incomes or reversals are negative‐‐instances of the latter
should be rare in those lines) while the income line item also in most
instances should have its value be a positive number (i.e., income is positive,
expenses or reversals are negative).
If after reviewing and potentially revising the feeder data your firm has
provided, the differences between your records and the calculated fields
persist please identify and discuss the differences in the space below.
III‐10. Nonrecurring items (charges and gains) included in the subject product financial results.‐‐For
each annual period for which financial results are reported in question III‐9a, please specify all
material (significant) nonrecurring items (charges and gains) in the schedule below, the specific
question III‐9a line item where the nonrecurring items are included, a brief description of the
relevant nonrecurring items, and the associated values (in $1,000), as reflected in question III‐
9a; i.e., if an aggregate nonrecurring item has been allocated to question III‐9a, only the
allocated value amount included in question III‐9a should be reported in the schedule below.
Note: The Commission’s objective here is to gather information only on material (significant)
nonrecurring items which impacted the reported financial results of the subject product in
question III‐9a.

records of the company.‐‐If non‐recurring items were reported in question III‐10 above, please
identify where your company recorded these items in your accounting books and records in the
normal course of business; i.e., just as responses to question III‐10 identify where these items
are reported in question III‐9a.
III‐12. Asset values.‐‐Report the total assets (i.e., both current and long‐term assets) associated with
the production, warehousing, and sale of paper clips. If your firm does not maintain some or all
of the specific asset information necessary to calculate total assets for paper clips in the normal
course of business, please estimate this information based upon a method (such as production,
sales, or costs) that is consistent with relevant cost allocations in question III‐9a. Provide data as
of the end of your firm’s three most recently completed fiscal years.
Note: Total assets should reflect net assets after any accumulated depreciation and allowances
deducted.
Total assets should be allocated to the subject products if these assets are also related to other
products. Please provide a brief explanation if there are any substantial changes in total asset
value during the period; e.g., due to asset write‐offs, revaluation, and major purchases.
