Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
Only the exporters for which an administrative review was requested are covered by this review. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters will not change. Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” for entries during the period of review from all exporters for which a review was not requested or the request was withdrawn (AD/CVDWeb Message # 2284417).
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for the 61 companies under review, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty rates:
| Producer/Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Lien Kuo Metal Industries Co., Ltd. | 21.1% |
| S More Steel Materials Co., Ltd. | 21.1% |
| Not Individually Examined Companies (applicable to 55 companies) | 4.3% |
Non-individually examined rate. Commerce is not individually investigating 55 companies subject to this review and instead preliminarily assigned them the rate most recently assigned to the non-selected companies in this proceeding (i.e., 4.3%). See Commerce's notice, Appendix II, for a full list of these 55 companies.
No Shipments. Commerce found three companies -- Yieh Mau Corporation; Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd.; and Yuen Chang Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. -- had no shipments to the U.S. during the period under review. A fourth company, Yieh United Steel Corporation (YUSCO), which filed a statement that it had no shipments during the review period, also was further examined and determined to have declared correctly. All four remain under review rather than having the review for them rescinded. If Commerce continues this finding in its final results, cash deposit requirements for these four companies will not change as a result of this review. Any entries under their case numbers will be liquidated at the 12.61% all others rate.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate final AD duty assessments on importers of subject merchandise from the companies under review that was entered between July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, AD duties on importers of subject merchandise entered during the period under review will be assessed at the rates listed above.
(The period of review is 07/01/21 - 06/30/22. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
