The review started with 16 companies, but Commerce said it is rescinding the review for 15 of the companies, leaving Pastificio Di Martino Gaetano e Flli S.p.A. as the sole respondent under review. Requests for review were withdrawn for the others.
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entry for subject merchandise from exporters for which a review was not requested or a review request was subsequently withdrawn (i.e., all companies except those listed below) (ADCVDWeb Message # 1285416)
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 final results in the Federal Register.
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Pastificio Di Martino Gaetano e Flli S.p.A. and Pastificio dei Campi S.p.A . * | 6.6% |
* Commerce preliminarily determind this is a single entity.
Rescinded from review are the following companies: Aldino S.r.l.; Armonie D’Italia srl; F. Divella S.p.A.; Falco Molino e Pastificio srl; La Molisana SpA; Pasta Castiglioni; Pastificio C.A.M.S. Srl;.

For the companies for which the review is rescinded, Commerce said it intends to instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit rate of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the review period.
For previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the company participated. The cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will continue to be 15.45%, the all-others rate.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate final AD duty assessments on importers of subject merchandise exported by the companies under review that was entered July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from Pastificio would be assigned importer-specific rates. Entries from the remaining companies would be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The period of review is 07/01/20 - 06/30/21. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
