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 # 3205408).
In addition, Commerce has preliminarily determined to rescind the review for 83 companies that had no reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during the review period. See Appendix III of the notice for a complete list of these companies.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may also take effect for the 112 companies 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 | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Mangal Steel Enterprises Limited | zero |
| Shree Luxmi Fasteners/The Emerging Impex | 10.97% |
| Non-individually examined companies (applies to 27 companies*) | 10.97% |
* See Appendix II of the notice for a complete list of the 27 companies.
If Commerce in its final results does rescind the review for the 83 companies listed in Appendix III of the notice, it said it will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on any suspended entries that entered under their CBP case numbers (i.e., at that exporter’s rate) at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period of review.
Assessment Rates
If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise exported by Mangal Steel during the period April 1, 2022, through March 31, 2023, will not be assessed AD duties and subject merchandise from SLF/TEI will be liquidated at importer-specific rates. Importers of subject merchandise from all other companies under review will be assessed AD at the rate listed above.
For merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which they were reviewed. If an exporter is not covered in this review or the original investigation but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the most recent rate for the producer of the merchandise. The cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be zero percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation, adjusted for the export-subsidy rate in the companion countervailing duty investigation.
(The period of review is 04/01/22 - 03/31/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
