Estimated AD Cash Deposit Requirements
The following estimated AD duty cash deposit requirements are effective for all shipments of subject merchandise from China with a time of entry on or after November 17, 2010:
- The cash deposit rate for each of the reviewed companies that received a separate rate in this review will be the rate listed in the final results of review (except that if the rate for a particular company is de minimis, i.e., less than 0.5 percent, no cash deposit will be required for that company);
- For previously investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period of review;
- If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less than fair value 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
- The cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will be the PRC-wide rate of $2.42 per kilogram.
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 November 17, 2010. The ITA has calculated importer-specific duty assessment rates on a per-unit basis.
