For exporters of subject merchandise from Italy and South Korea that were not under review (i.e., all except the companies listed below), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own AD rate but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all others rate for Italy is 6.08%, and for South Korea is 7.1%.

For entries on or after Feb. 4, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates for subject merchandise produced or exported by nine Italian companies and one South Korean company, as follows:
