Rates Only Preliminary; Cash Deposit Rates From Previous Proceedings Still in Effect
These preliminary results are only preliminary, and are not in effect. Commerce may still change its calculations when it issues the final results of this administrative review. For now, the most recent final AD rate calculated for each Indian company is still applicable. If no final AD duty rate has ever been calculated for a company, then it is subject to the all others rate of 10.17%. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in July.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register.
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Devi Fisheries Limited | 1.97% |
| Falcon Marine Exports Limited / K.R. Enterprises | 3.01% |
| Average rate for about 200 companies | 1.1% |
Review average rate. Commerce preliminarily assigned the 1.1% AD duty rate it calculated for Devi Fisheries and Falcon Marine to about 200 other companies. See Commerce's notice for the full list.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the AD duties it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between Feb. 1, 2012 and Jan. 31, 2013. For subject merchandise from Devi Fisheries and Falcon Marine, Commerce said it will calculate a specific AD duty rate for each importer based on entry data. For subject merchandise exported by other companies, Commerce will calculate an assessment rate based on the average of the Devi Fisheries and Falcon Marine AD duty rates.
(The period of review is 02/01/12 -- 01/31/13. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
