The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determination, currently scheduled for June 12. If the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue an AD duty order and duties will be made permanent. If the ITC finds no injury, the investigation will be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded.
Estimated AD Cash Deposit Rates Fall
Effective May 5, Commerce will instruct CBP to require an AD cash deposit for all imports of subject merchandise from Mexico equal to the following AD rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
| Aceros Camesa S.A. de C.V. | 9.99% |
| All Others | 9.99% |
(The period of investigation is 04/01/12 -- 03/31/13. See Commerce’s notice for more information, including the scope of the investigation (unchanged since the preliminary determination), detailed instructions on cash deposit and assessment rates, etc. See 13121115 for summary of the preliminary determination of this investigation.)
