Estimated AD Cash Deposit Requirements

The following estimated AD duty cash deposit requirements are effective for all shipments of brass sheet and strip from Germany with a time of entry on or after October 28, 2010:

  1. The cash deposit rate for companies subject to this review will be the rate established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is less than 0.5 percent and, therefore, de minimis, no cash deposit will be required;
  2. For previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent final results for a review in which that manufacturer or exporter participated;
  3. If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent final results for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and
  4. If neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any previous review conducted by the ITA, the cash deposit rate will be 7.30 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.

Assessment Instructions

The ITA will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection shall assess, AD duties on all appropriate entries. The ITA will issue assessment instructions to CBP within 15 days after October 28, 2010. The ITA has calculated importer-specific duty assessment rates.

1The ITA's notice states that these are amended final results of review; however, the amendments to the final results were made prior to their publication in the Federal Register.
