Commerce said it is rescinding the review for 39 companies that had no reviewable, suspended entries during the review period. They are listed in Appendix II of the notice.
Commerce has already ordered liquidation as entered, at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry, for entries during the period of review from all exporters not under review, in a message to CBP (ADCVDWeb Message # 4264409).
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD cash deposit requirements may take effect for the companies under review, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register, currently set for May. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD cash deposit rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Madura Fasteners Sdn. Bhd. | 39.35% |
| Region International Co. Ltd. and Region System Sdn. Bhd. | 1.9% |
| Non-Individually examined companies (applies to 5 companies) | 1.9% |
Review average rate. Commerce listed in Appendix III the companies not selected for individual review, which are subject to a rate that is the one assigned to Region, due to other circumstances involving the rate for Madura that doesn't allow averaging that rate with Region's.
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 July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024. If these preliminary results are unchanged, Commerce will direct CBP to liquidate entries during that period from Madura and Region at importer-specific rates. Entries from the other importers subject to this review will be liquidated at the rate listed above.
(The period of review is 07/01/23 - 06/30/24. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
