Commerce to Set Final AD/CV Duty Assessments, New Cash Deposit Rates

In these administrative reviews, Commerce will determine final assessments of AD and CVD on importers for entries of subject merchandise during the relevant period of review produced or exported by the companies named in Commerce's notice. It also will set new cash deposit requirements for subject merchandise from the companies under review, effective on the date it issues the final results of the review. The agency said it intends to issue the final results of these reviews by Nov. 30.

(See Commerce's notice for a full list of companies subject to these administrative reviews. Companies not listed will have their entries liquidated at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry, and their cash deposit rates will not change.)

Separate Rate Certifications/Applications for China and Vietnam

All firms listed in Commerce's notice that wish to either retain or receive separate-rate status in the administrative reviews involving non-market economy (NME) countries (China and Vietnam) must complete, as appropriate, either a Separate Rate Certification or a Separate Rate Application.

In order to demonstrate separate-rate eligibility, Commerce requires Chinese and Vietnamese companies for whom a review was requested that were assigned a separate rate in the most recent segment of this proceeding in which they participated to certify that they continue to meet the criteria for obtaining a separate rate. Certifications are due 30 calendar days from the publication of the notice (i.e., Feb. 2).

Rate Certifications and the Separate Rate Status Applications are at http://www.trade.gov/enforcement.

Notices of No Sales During the Review Period

If a producer or exporter named in this notice of initiation had no exports, sales or entries during the period of review, it must notify Commerce within 30 days of the publication of this notice in the Federal Register, i.e., Feb. 2. (Commerce will consider rescinding the review only if the producer or exporter, as appropriate, submits a properly filed and timely statement certifying that it had no exports, sales or entries of subject merchandise during the period of review.)

Respondent Selection

If Commerce limits the number of respondents for individual examination for administrative reviews, the agency will select respondents based on CBP data during the period of investigation. Respondent selection will be made within 35 days of publication of this Federal Register notice, i.e., Feb. 7. Comments regarding the CBP data and respondent selection should be filed within seven days of placement of the CBP data on the record of the applicable review.
