Brass rod from Israel is already subject to suspension of liquidation and countervailing duty cash deposit requirements, which began when Commerce issued its preliminary CVD determination in September (see 2309290024). Current CVD rates range are set at 5.26% for all Israeli exporters.
Commerce is also conducting AD/CVD investigations on brass rod from Brazil, India, Mexico, South Korea and South Africa. Commerce issued preliminary CVD determinations in September for India and South Korea, and its preliminary AD determinations on Brazil, India, Mexico, South Korea and South Africa in November (see 2311300048).
​AD Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation for AD purposes for all entries of subject merchandise that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after Dec. 14 (liquidation is already suspended for CVD purposes), and require AD cash deposits as follows:
