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 Thai 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. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in August.
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. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty cash deposit rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Company, Ltd. | 1.03% |
No shipments. Commerce said one exporter -- Pacific Pipe Company Limited -- certified that it made no shipments to the U.S. of subject merchandise during the period of review. As such, Commerce preliminarily decided not to calculate a new AD duty rate for the company. If this no shipments determination is finalized, subject merchandise from this company will continue to enter at rates set in previous reviews.
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 March 1, 2012 and Feb. 28, 2013. Commerce said it will calculate a specific AD duty rate for each importer based on entry data.
(The period of review is 03/01/12 -- 02/28/13. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
