New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect March 10

For entries on or after March 10, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates as follows:

Producer/ExporterAD Rate
Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V.4.64%
Ternium Mexico S.A. de C.V.4.64%

For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the companies listed above), 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 of 20.11% applies.

Commerce did not select Ternium Mexico S.A. de C.V. for individual examination and it was assigned the rate calculated for Deacero.

Assessment Rates for Entries October 2019 - September 2020

Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to calculate assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise for entries between Oct. 1, 2019, and Sept. 30, 2020. For entries from Deacero, Commerce is calculating importer-specific AD duty rates. Commerce will assess AD duties at the rates listed above for the other companies subject to this review.

(The review period is 10/01/19 - 09/30/20. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2111030043 for the results of the preliminary AD duty administrative review.)
