Rates Only Preliminary; Cash Deposit Rates From Previous Proceedings Still in Effect
These preliminary results do not affect current rates, and 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 Mexican 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 20.11%. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in March.
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 rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Deacero S.A. de C.V. | 0.59% |
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 Oct. 1, 2012 and Sept. 30, 2013. If these preliminary results are unchanged in the final results, Commerce will calculate importer-specific AD duty assessments on entries of subject merchandise exported by Deacero.
(The period of review is 10/01/12 -- 09/30/13. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
