New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Sept. 8
For entries on or after Sept. 8, Commerce is setting AD duty cash deposit rates, confirming its preliminary results, as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Laxcon Steels Limited, and its affiliates, Ocean Steels Private Limited, Metlax International Private Limited, Parvati Private Limited, and Mega Steels Private Limited | zero |
| Venus Wire Industries Pvt. Ltd., and its affiliates, Precision Metals, Hindustan Inox Ltd., and Sieves Manufacturers (India) Pvt. Ltd. | zero |
| Bhansali Bright Bars Pvt. Ltd. | zero |
| Bhansali Inc. | zero |
For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the companies listed above), 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 12.45% applies.
Assessment Rates for Entries February 2021 - January 2022
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 Feb. 1, 2021, and Jan. 31, 2022. Importers of subject merchandise exported by Laxcon, the mandatory respondent, and its affiliates during the period of review won't be assessed AD. Entries from the three non-individually examined companies listed above during this period will also be liquidated without regard to AD duties.
(The review period is 02/01/21 - 01/31/22. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2303060035 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
