Commerce is also conducting an AD investigation on brass rod from Israel, but postponed its preliminary determination in that case until Dec. 7 after receiving comments close to its previous deadline that it said it needs more time to address.
Brass rod from India, Israel and South Korea is also already subject to suspension of liquidation and countervailing duty cash deposit requirements that took effect Sept. 29 (see 2309290024). CV duty cash deposit rates are currently set at 3.03% for Indian exporters, 5.26% for Israeli exporters, and range from zero to 2.57% for South Korean exporters.
​AD Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation for AD duty purposes for all entries of subject merchandise that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after Dec. 1 (liquidation is already suspended for CV duty purposes for India and South Korea), and require AD duty cash deposits as follows:
