The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determination, currently scheduled for Dec. 27, according to a Commerce fact sheet. If the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue an AD order and duties will be made permanent. If the ITC finds no injury, the investigation will be terminated and all cash deposits refunded.
As part of its final determination on Russia, Commerce found Russia is no longer a market economy for AD purposes. However, the agency declined to apply nonmarket economy status in this investigation, and will only do so prospectively (see 2211140001).

Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation for AD duty purposes for all entries of subject merchandise, and require AD duty cash deposits as follows on entries on or after Nov. 17:
