Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry for subject merchandise from exporters for which a review was not requested.

AD Duty Cash Deposit Requirements

Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the AD duty final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty cash deposit rates:

ExporterAD Rate (Prelim)
Agro Sevilla Aceitunas S.COOP Andalusia1.84%
Angel Camacho Alimentacion S.L.4.56%
Aceitunas Guadalquivir, S.L.2.87%
Aceitunas Torrent, S.L.2.87%

No shipments. Commerce preliminarily determined that Alimentary Group Dcoop S. Coop. And. did not have any reviewable transactions during the review period. Commerce will not rescind the review for Dcoop and may uphold this preliminary finding in the final results.

Assessment Rates

If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise exported by Agro Sevilla and Angel Camacho during the period Aug. 1, 2020, through July 31, 2021, will be assessed AD duties at importer-specific rates. Importers from the other companies under review will be assessed AD duties at the rates listed above. The cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 19.98%.

(The period of review is 08/01/20 - 07/31/21. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
