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. For now, the most recent final AD rate calculated for each exporter 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 7.3%. 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.
| Producer/Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Aurubis Stolberg GmbH & Co. KG | 22.61% |
| Carl Schreiber GmbH | 22.61% |
| KME Germany AG & Co. KG | 22.61% |
| Messingwerk Plettenberg Herfeld GmbH & Co. KG | 55.6% |
| MKM Mansfelder Kupfer & Messing GmbH | 22.61% |
| Schlenk Metallfolien GmbH & Co. KG | 22.61% |
| Sundwiger Messingwerke GmbH & Co. KG | 22.61% |
Assessment Rates
Commerce will use these rates to calculate assessments of AD duties on importers for entries between March 1, 2013 and Feb. 28, 2014. If the agency makes no changes in its final results, Commerce will assess AD duties on importers of subject merchandise at the rates listed above.
(The period of review is 03/01/13 -- 02/28/14. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
