Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD cash deposit requirements may take effect for the 12 companies remaining under review, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register . Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD cash deposit rates:

Assessment Rates

As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the AD it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between Sept. 1, 2021, and Aug. 31, 2022. If these preliminary results are unchanged, Commerce will direct CBP to assess AD duties on importers from Maquilacero and Prolamsa, the two companies selected for individual review, at importer-specific rates. The remaining companies would be assessed AD at the rates listed above.

(The period of review is 09/01/21 - 08/31/22. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
