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.
The administrative review for 2019-2020 covers Al Jazeera Steel Products Co. SAOG (Al Jazeera). The administrative review for 2020-2021 covers four exporters/producers -- Al Jazeera; Al Samna Metal Manufacturing & Trading Company LLC (Al Samna); Bollore Logistics (Oman) LLC (Bollore Logistics); and Transworld Shipping Trading & Logistics Services LLC (Transworld Shipping) -- of which Al Jazeera was the mandatory respondent.
For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the companies listed below), 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 of 7.36% applies.
New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect June 15
For entries on or after June 15, the date these final results are to be published in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates for subject merchandise produced or exported by four companies, as follows:
| Exporter | 2019-20 | AD Rate* |
|---|---|---|
| Al Jazeera Steel Products Co. SAOG | 4.61% | 2.31% |
| Al Samna Metal Manufacturing & Trading Company LLC | N/A | 2.31% |
| Bollore Logistics (Oman) LLC | N/A | 2.31% |
| Transworld Shipping Trading & Logistics Services LLC | N/A | 2.31% |
*The rate in the AD rate column was calculated for the 2020-21 review period, and will be the cash deposit rate going forward. The rate in the 2019-20 column is for assessment purposes only.
Assessment Rates for Entries Dec. 2019 - Nov. 2020, Dec. 2020 - Nov. 2021
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to calculate assessments of AD on importers of subject merchandise for entries between Dec. 1, 2019, through Nov. 30, 2020, and Dec. 1, 2020, and Nov. 30, 2021. For entries from Al Jazeera during both periods of review, Commerce will calculate importer-specific rates. For the other exporters subject to this review, applicable for the second review period, Commerce will assess AD at the rates listed above.
(The review periods are 12/01/19 - 11/30/20 and 12/01/20 - 11/30/21. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2212270031 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
