(a),(b),(c)

(a) For previously investigated companies not listed above, 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, then the AD duty cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and

(c) The AD duty cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 5.71%, the "all-others" rate from the AD investigation.

Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (09/01/04 - 08/31/05)

The ITA states that it will issue appropriate assessment instructions for the companies subject to this review directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after April 10, 2007.

Additionally, the ITA states that it calculated an importer-specific duty assessment rate for the 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 the subject merchandise during the review period produced by the company included in these final results of review for which the reviewed company did not know that the merchandise it sold to the 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.
