(c) The AD duty cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 2.80%, the "all others" rate from the amended final determination of the AD investigation.
1The ITA based this rate on total adverse facts available as the ITA states that King Pac did not act to the best of its ability to provide certain correct and verifiable data, among other things.
Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (01/26/04 - 07/31/05)
The ITA states that it will issue appropriate assessment instructions for subject merchandise to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after January 17, 2007.
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 rates listed above (which are weighted averages).
The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by companies included in these final results of review for which the reviewed companies 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 "all-others" rate if there is no rate for the intermediary involved in the transaction.
