France Uranium: Final Results of AD Admin Review; Commerce Expands Suspension of Liquidation
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on low-enriched Uranium from France (A-427-818). In its final results, Commerce detailed a new policy where it will suspend liquidation of entries that are exempt from duties because they are intended for reexport within 18 months. Commerce will use the administrative review process to ensure the uranium is actually reexported. No cash deposits will be required on such entries.

Also in this review, Commerce continued to find the only respondent, AREVA, had no shipments of subject merchandise to the U.S. during the period of review. As such, AREVA's AD cash deposit rate will remain at the rate set for the company in the most recent prior administrative review. Because Commerce found that AREVA had no shipments of subject merchandise during the period under review, any suspended entries that entered under AREVA's antidumping duty case number will be assessed AD duties at the 19.95% all others rate, it said.
*AREVA includes Eurodif S.A., AREVA NC, and AREVA NC, Inc.
(The review period is 06/01/12 -- 05/31/13. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 14032122 for summary of the preliminary results.)
