Combination Rates

The ITA has calculated combination rates for respondents that are eligible for a separate rate in this AD investigation. (See ITT's Online Archives or 04/11/05 news, 05041110, for BP summary of 2005 policy bulletin outlining this change in practice with regard to AD combination rates for non-market economies (NMEs).)

AD Suspension of Liquidation Continues

The ITA is directing U.S. Customs and Border Protection to continue the AD suspension of liquidation for all entries of subject merchandise from China with a time of entry on or after January 12, 2010 (the publication date of the preliminary AD determination).

AD Cash Deposit Requirements

The ITA will also instruct CBP to collect AD duty cash deposits or bonds on all entries of subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after June 10, 2010 at the revised AD duty rates below.

Because the ITA determined that mandatory respondent Eastfound benefitted from an export subsidy, its AD duty rate listed below has been adjusted for the export subsidy in the countervailing duty determination. (The AD duty rate for the separate rate respondents is unaffected.)

(If the International Trade Commission issues a final affirmative injury determination, the ITA will issue an AD duty order. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated and all estimated duties deposited or securities posted will be refunded or canceled.)

(See ITA notice for additional information, including the scope of the order (which remains unchanged since the initiation notice), etc.
