New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Jan. 9
For entries on or after Jan. 9, the date these final results are set to be published in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates for some companies, as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Pokarna Engineered Stone Limited | zero |
| Antique Marbonite Private Limited, India/Shivam Enterprises (Shivam) / Prism Johnson Limited (Prism Johnson) | 323.12% |
| Review Average Rate (applicable to 51 companies) | 3.19% |
Average Rate. Commerce is not individually investigating 51 companies subject to this review. See Appendix II of the notice for a complete list. Commerce said it made a change to the rate calculated for this group based on comments received after the preliminary results were released. It is now the all-others rate calculated in the initial investigation of the AD order.
For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the 53 companies listed), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own AD rate but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate applies, i.e. 1.02%, established for this proceeding.
Assessment Rates for Entries Dec. 13, 2019 - May 2021
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to calculate assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise for entries between Dec. 13, 2019, and May 31, 2021. Commerce will liquidate entries from Pokarna without any AD duties. Commerce will assess AD at the rates listed above for the other companies subject to this review.
(The review period is 12/13/19 - 05/31/21. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2207070051 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
