Commerce has already ordered liquidation as entered, at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry, for entries during the period of review from all exporters not under review, in a message to CBP (ADCVDWeb Message # 1288404).
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for the companies 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:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Region International Co. Ltd. and Region System Sdn. Bhd. | 5.74% |
| Inmax Sdn. Bhd. and Inmax Industries Sdn. Bhd. | 4.89% |
| Non-Individually examined companies | 5.32% |
Review average rate. Commerce listed in Appendix II the companies not selected for individual review, which are subject to a rate that is a simple average of the rates for the two mandatory respondents Region and Inmax.
No shipments. Commerce said it preliminarily determined that Astrotech, Geekay and Trinity had no shipments during the period of review. It will follow usual practice and will not rescind the review with respect to Astrotech, Geekay and Trinity, but will complete the review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of this review.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the AD duties it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021. If these preliminary results are unchanged, Commerce will direct CBP to liquidate entries during that period from Region and Inmax at importer-specific rates. Entries from the other importers subject to this review will be liquidated at rates set in the final results.
(The period of review is 07/01/19 - 06/30/20. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
