Final Results of Review

As a result of its review, the ITA determines that the following weighted-average margin percentages exist for the period of review:

CompanyWeighted average margin
Akzo Nobel Functional Chemicals B.V. (ANFC)9.06%
CP Kelco B.V.2.64%

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 14, 2010:

  1. The cash deposit rates for ANFC and CP Kelco will be the rates established in the final results of this review;
  2. For previously reviewed or investigated companies not covered in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period;
  3. If the exporter is not a firm covered in this or any previous review or in 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
  4. If neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any previous review or the investigation, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the all-others rate of 14.57 percent, which is the all-others rate established by the ITA 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. In this review, the ITA has calculated, whenever possible, an exporter/importer (or customer)-specific assessment rate or value for merchandise subject to this review. The ITA will issue assessment instructions to CBP within 15 days after December 14, 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 produced by reviewed companies for which these companies did not know their merchandise was destined for the U.S. In such instances, the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
