AD Suspension of Liquidation
The ITA will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to continue to suspend liquidation of all entries of PRCBs from Indonesia with a time of entry on or after November 3, 2009.
AD Cash Deposit Requirements
The ITA will also direct CBP to require a cash deposit or bond at the revised AD duty rates below for entries of PRCBs from Indonesia with a time of entry on or after April 1, 2010:
| Company | Final AD Rate |
|---|---|
| P.T. Sido Bangun Indonesia (SBI) | 85.17% (from 67.62%) |
| P.T. Super Exim Sari Ltd. and P.T. Super Makmur (collectively, SESSM) | 69.64% (from 67.18%) |
| All Others | 69.64% (from 67.40%) |
(The ITA notes 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 imports of the subject merchandise are causing material injury or threat of material injury to an industry in the U.S. 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 scope of the order (which remains unchanged since the initiation notice), the ITA's negative targeted dumping determination, etc.
