Rates Only Preliminary; Cash Deposit Rates From Previous Proceedings Still in Effect
These AD duty rates are only preliminary, and do not change current AD duty rates. 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 Russian 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 September.
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 |
|---|---|
| JSC Acron / JSC Dorogobuzh | zero |
| MCC EuroChem / OJSC NAK Azot / OJSC Nevinnomyssky Azot | zero |
Assessment Rates
If Commerce continues to calculate zero percent AD duty rates for Acron and EuroChem in the final results of its administrative review, the agency will not assess AD duties on importers for entries of subject merchandise from these two companies entered between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013.
(The period of review is 04/01/12 -- 03/31/13. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
