AD Cash Deposit Instructions for a Time of Entry on or after 10/09/07:
| Company |
|---|
| 5.94% |
| (a),(b),(c) |
(a) For previously reviewed or 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 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; and
(c) If neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any previous review conducted by the ITA, the AD duty cash deposit rate will be 17.21%, the "all others" rate established in the AD investigation.
Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (09/01/05 - 10/31/06)
The ITA states that it intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after October 9, 2007.
The ITA states that it will apply the importer-specific assessment rates calculated in the previous administrative review because all entries of merchandise produced by LM in the current administrative review were related to sales that were reviewed in the previous review, which have already been included in the calculations of cash deposit and assessment rates in this review. Moreover, as there was no assessment of AD duties related to the specific sales at issue from the previous review, there is no issue of double-counting AD duties.
The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by companies included in these final results of reviews for which the reviewed companies did not know their merchandise 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 intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
