For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except CJ Indonesia and Miwon), 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 6.19% applies.
New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect March 31
For entries on or after March 31, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates for two companies, as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate (%) |
|---|---|
| PT. Cheil Jedang Indonesia | zero |
| PT. Miwon Indonesia | 1.60% |
Assessment Rates for Entries November 2019 - October 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 Nov. 1, 2019, through Oct. 31, 2020. For entries from CJ Indonesia, Commerce will not assess AD duties on entries during that period. For entries from Miwon during the period of review, Commerce is calculating importer-specific AD duty rates.
(The review period is 11/01/19 - 10/31/20. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2111290036 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
