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 December 9, 2010:
- The cash deposit rate for the reviewed companies will be the rates shown above;
- For previously investigated companies not listed above, as well as for China Steel Corporation, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period;
- 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
- The cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 12.61 percent, the “All Others” rate made effective by 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 December 9, 2010.
The ITA calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates for Chia Far, and will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to AD duties any entries for which the assessment rate is zero or de minimis. For the companies which were not selected for individual review, the ITA will use the cash deposit rate as the assessment rate for these companies.
The ITA also adds that it clarified its “automatic assessment” regulation on May 6, 2003, which will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Chia Far for which Chia Far did not know its merchandise was destined for the U.S. This clarification will also apply to POR entries of subject merchandise produced by China Steel Corporation for which the ITA is making a final determination of no shipments, because it certified that it made no POR shipments of subject merchandise for which it had knowledge of U.S. destination. In this instance, the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
