The following estimated AD cash deposit requirements are effective for all shipments of the subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after October 19, 2010:

  1. the cash deposit rate for the reviewed company will be the rate listed above;
  2. if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, but was covered in a previous review or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period;
  3. if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and
  4. the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 42.12 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.

The ITA will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will assess, AD duties on all appropriate entries. The ITA states it intends to issues its assessment instructions within 15 days of October 19.
