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 (i.e., all except the two listed in Commerce's notice) (ADCVDWeb Message # 2004432).
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) |
|---|---|
| Nippon Steel Corp./Nippon Steel Nisshin Co., Ltd./Nippon Steel Trading Corp. | 7.81% |
| Tokyo Steel Manufacturing Co., Ltd. | 7.81% |
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 Oct. 1, 2020, and Sept. 30, 2021. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from Nippon Steel Corp./Nippon Steel Nisshin Co., Ltd./Nippon Steel Trading Corp. would be assigned importer-specific rates. Entries of subject merchandise from all other companies subject to this review would be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The period of review is 10/01/20 - 09/30/21. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
