The ITA is amending its final AD determination to correct certain ministerial errors in its calculation of the AD margin for Nacional de Cobre, S.A. de C.V. (Nacobre), which also affects the estimated AD duty rate for "all others."
AD Liquidation, Cash Deposits Refunded Prior to Final ITC Determination
Because the International Trade Commission's final injury determination is based on the threat of material injury and is not accompanied by a finding that injury would have resulted, but for the imposition of suspension of liquidation of entries since the preliminary determination, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is required to release any bond or other security, and refund any cash deposit of estimated AD duties posted from the ITA's preliminary determination until the publication of the ITC's final determination of threat of material injury.
Therefore, the ITA will instruct CBP to terminate the AD suspension of liquidation for entries of copper pipe and tube from Mexico with a time of entry prior to November 22, 2010 (the publication date of the ITC’s final threat of injury determination)1.
The ITA will also instruct CBP to refund any estimated AD cash deposits made and release any bonds posted between the publication of the ITA’s preliminary determination on May 12, 2010 through November 21, 2010.
AD Suspension of Liquidation for Nov 22 and After
The ITA will direct CBP to require AD suspension of liquidation for all entries of subject merchandise from Mexico with a time of entry on or after November 22, 2010.
AD Cash Deposit Requirements Effective Nov 22
The ITA will also instruct CBP to require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, estimated AD cash deposits on entries of subject merchandise from Mexico with a time of entry on or after November 22, 2010 at the following revised estimated AD duty rates.
| Manufacturer/Exporter | Final AD Rate (Cash Only) |
|---|---|
| IUSA S.A. de C.V. | 24.89% (unchanged) |
| Nacional de Cobre, S.A. de C.V. (Nacobre) | 27.16% (from 31.43%) |
| All Others | 26.03% (from 28.16%) |
