Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD cash deposit requirements may take effect for three companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD cash deposit rates:
| Exporter/Producer | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Novelis Deutschland GmbH | 17.8% |
| Hydro Aluminium Rolled Products GmbH/Speira GmbH | 18.7% |
| Constellium Rolled Products Singen GmbH & Co. KG. | 18.1% |
Assessment Rates
If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise exported by Novelis and HARP/Speira during the period Oct. 15, 2020, through March 31, 2022, will be assessed AD at importer specific rates, and importers from the other company under review, Constellium, which was not individually examined, would be assessed duties at the rate listed above.
Only the companies listed above are covered by this review. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters of subject merchandise will not change as a result of these reviews, and Commerce has ordered liquidation of entries from such companies “as entered” at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry. The cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 49.4%, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair value investigation.
(The periods of review are 10/15/20 - 03/31/22. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
