| (a),(b),(c) |
(a) If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, but was covered in a previous review or the original AD investigation, the AD duty cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period;
(b) If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original AD investigation, but the manufacturer is, the AD duty cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise;
(c) The AD duty cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 30.85%, which is the "all others" rate established in the AD investigation.
Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (07/01/04 - 06/30/05)
The ITA states that it will issue appropriate assessment instructions for subject merchandise to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 41 days after December 22, 2006.
Additionally, the ITA states that it calculated importer-specific duty assessment rates for subject merchandise, which trade sources note may differ significantly from the AD cash deposit rate listed above (which is a weighted average).
The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by Mexinox, for which Mexinox did not know that the merchandise it sold to an intermediary was destined for the U.S., the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the 30.85% "all-others" rate if there is no company-specific rate for an intermediary involved in the transaction.
