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 April 1, 2022, and March 31, 2023. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from Jilin Bright and Ningxia Guanghua would be assessed AD at importer-specific rates, and importers of subject merchandise from the other companies subject to this review would be assessed AD at the rates listed above.
