CompanyWeighted average margin

Estimated AD Cash Deposit Requirements

The following estimated AD duty cash deposit requirements are effective for all shipments of subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after November 29, 2010:

  1. The cash deposit rate for CP Kelco will be the rate established in the final results of review;
  2. If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or the less-than-fair-value (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
  3. 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 the all-others rate from 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 for CP Kelco to CBP within 15 days after November 29, 2010.

The ITA adds that it clarified its "automatic assessment" regulation on May 6, 2003, which will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the period of review produced by CP Kelco for which CP Kelco did not know the merchandise was destined for the U.S. In such instances, the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the 6.65 percent all-others rate from the LTFV investigation if there is no company-specific rate for an intermediary involved in the transaction.
