Liquidation 'As Entered' for Entries from Exporters Not Subject to Review
Only six exporters for which an administrative review was requested are covered by this review. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters will not change. Commerce ordered liquidation "as entered" for entries during the period of review from all exporters for which a review was not requested, in a message sent to CBP in August 2014 (here), subsequently corrected in October (here).
In these preliminary results, Commerce is also rescinding this review for MTZ Polyesters Ltd. and Uflex Ltd. after requests for their review were withdrawn. As such, these companies will have their entries liquidated "as entered," and their cash deposits rates will not change.
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. If Jindal continues to get a zero percent AD rate in the final results, it will not be subject to AD duty cash deposit requirements until further notice. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty cash deposit rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Jindal Poly Films Limited | zero |
| SRF Limited | 0.79% |
| Ester Industries Limited | 0.79% |
| Garware Polyester Ltd. | 0.79% |
| Polyplex Corporation Limited | 0.79% |
| Vacmet | 0.79% |
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate final AD duty assessments on importers of subject merchandise exported by the companies under review that was entered between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise exported by Jindal and entered during the period under review will not be assessed AD duties. Importers of subject merchandise from SRF will each be assigned importer-specific assessment rates.
(The period of review is 06/01/13 -- 05/31/14. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
