Turkey Rebar: Final Results of CV Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the final results of its countervailing duty administrative review on steel concrete reinforcing bar from Turkey (C-489-819). The agency calculated new CV duty cash deposit rates for three Turkish companies. It determined that 21 other companies subject to the review had no shipments during the review period, and rescinded the administrative review of those companies. These final results will be used to set final assessments of CV duties on importers for entries in calendar year 2019.

If the exporter has never been assigned its own CV 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 applies.
