Sodium nitrite from Russia is already subject to suspension of liquidation and countervailing duty cash deposit requirements, which began when Commerce issued its preliminary CV duty determination in April (see 2204140024) and were confirmed in a final determination also issued June 28 (see 2206280057). Suspension of liquidation and CV duty cash deposit requirements also have been effect for sodium nitrite from India since June 21 (see 2206170056), with Commerce's preliminary antidumping duty determination for India due Aug. 11 (see 2206070068).
​AD Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation for AD duty purposes for all entries of subject merchandise that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after June 28 (liquidation is already suspended for CV duty purposes), and require AD cash deposits as follows:
| Exporter/Producer | AD Rate | Adjusted* |
|---|---|---|
| Uralchem, JSC | 207.17% | 25.73% |
| All Others | 207.17% | 25.73% |
* As adjusted for export subsidies found in the concurrent CV duty investigation. This rate is the AD cash deposit rate while CVD suspension of liquidation remains in effect.
(The period of investigation is 01/01/21 - 12/31/21. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope, suspension of liquidation, detailed cash deposit instructions, etc. See 2202070025 for a summary of initiation of this investigation, and 2201180052 for the underlying petition.)
