Liquidation 'As Entered' for Entries from Exporters Not Subject to Review
Only exporters of subject merchandise for which an administrative review was requested are covered by this review. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters will not change. Commerce has ordered liquidation "as entered" for entries during the period of review from all exporters for which a review was not requested (here).
As part of these preliminary results, Commerce is also ending the review for 70 companies because requests for their review were withdrawn. Commerce will liquidate entries from these 70 companies during the period of review "as entered" at the CV duty cash deposit rate in effect at time of entry, and CV duty cash deposit rates for these companies will not change in this review. See Commerce's notice for the full list.
Cash Deposit Requirements
For the three companies that remain subject to review, new CV duty cash deposit requirements may take effect beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register, currently scheduled for May. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following CV duty cash deposit rates:
