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, in a message sent to CBP (ADCVDWeb Message # 3009407).
In these preliminary results, Commerce is also rescinding this administrative review with respect to Talleres y Aceros and Villacero. Cash deposit rates currently in effect for Talleres y Aceros and Villacero will not change, and any entries from them will also liquidate as entered.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for the two companies still under review, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty cash deposit rates:
| Exporter or Producer | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| ArcelorMittal Mexico S.A. de C.V. | zero |
| Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V. / Deacero USA, Inc. | 0.7% |
| Grupo Villacero S.A. de C.V. | 0.7% |
| Talleres y Aceros S.A. de C.V. | 0.7% |
| Ternium Mexico S.A. de C.V. | 0.7% |
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the AD duties it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between Oct. 1, 2021, and Sept. 30, 2022. If these preliminary results are unchanged, Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates for entries from Deacero, and liquidate entries from ArcelorMittal without regard to AD. It will order assessment of AD on entries from the other companies under review at the rates listed above.
(The period of review is 10/01/21 - 09/30/22. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.).
