Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
This review covers only the 30 companies listed below. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters of subject merchandise will not change as a result of this review, and Commerce has ordered liquidation of entries from such companies "as entered" at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry (ADCVDWeb Message # 1161402).
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for the companies still under review, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty cash deposit rates:

No Shipments. Commerce preliminarily determined K Line Logistics (Thailand) Ltd. had no exports to the U.S. during the period of review, so its rate will not change. Any entries under K Line's case numbers will be liquidated at the "all-others" rate, currently 15.67%.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the antidumping duties it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between March 1, 2020, and Feb. 28, 2021. If these preliminary results are unchanged, Commerce would direct CBP to liquidate entries from Saha Thai during that period without regard to antidumping duties. Entries from the other companies under review would be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The period of review is 03/01/20 - 02/28/21. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
