AD Suspension of Liquidation Continues
The ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to continue to suspend liquidation of all entries of PRCBs from Taiwan with a time of entry on or after October 27, 2009 (the publication date of the preliminary determination).
AD Duty Cash Deposit/Bond Requirement
The ITA will also instruct CBP to require a cash deposit or the posting of a bond at the revised AD duty rates listed below, for entries of PRCBs from Taiwan with a time of entry on or after March 26, 2010:
| Manufacturer/Exporter | Final AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Ipsido Corporation | 95.81% (unchanged) |
| TCI Plastic Co., Ltd. | 36.54% (from 28.69%) |
| All Others | 36.54% (from 28.69%) |
(The ITA states that if the exporter is not a firm identified in this investigation but the producer is, the rate will be the rate established for the producer of the subject merchandise.)
AD Duty Order to be Issued if ITC finds Injury/Threat of Injury
The International Trade Commission will determine within 45 days whether the domestic industry in the U.S. is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports or sales (or the likelihood of sales) for importation of the subject merchandise. If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, the ITA will issue an AD duty order.
(See ITA notice for additional information, including the complete scope of the order (which is unchanged from the initiation notice), changes since the preliminary determination, etc.
