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 # 1285430).
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. Preliminary AD duty rates are as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd. | 1.67% |
| Hyundai Steel Company | 0.86% |
| KG Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd. (formerly Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd.) / Dongbu Incheon Steel Co., Ltd. | 1.47% |
| POSCO | 1.47% |
| POSCO Coated & Color Steel Co., Ltd. | 1.47% |
| POSCO International Corporation | 1.47% |
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 between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021. If the preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from Hyundai and Dongkuk during that period will be assessed AD duties at importer-specific rates. Entries from the other exporters under review will be assessed AD duties 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.)
