Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry for subject merchandise from exporters for which a review was not requested (ADCVDWeb Message # 3017402).

In these preliminary results, Commerce is also rescinding this review for one company, R.N. Gupta & Company Limited, because the request for review was withdrawn. Entries from this company also will liquidate as entered.

Cash Deposit Requirements

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