CompanyAD Rate or Note
Jindal Poly Films Limited(a)
Other Companies(b),(c),(d)

(a) The ITA has determined an AD duty rate of zero for Jindal, therefore, no cash deposit will be required; however, it remains subject to the order;

(b) 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;

(c) 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; and

(d) 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 continue to be the "all others" rate established in the original AD investigation, adjusted for the export subsidy rate found in the companion countervailing duty investigation, which results in a rate of 5.71%.

Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (07/01/06 - 06/30/07)

The ITA intends to issue assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after November 25, 2008. The ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to AD duties any entries for which the assessment rate is zero or de minimis.

The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by any of the companies for which it is rescinding this review, and for which each no-shipment respondent did not know its merchandise would be exported by another company to 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.
