Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (04/01/05 - 03/31/06)

The ITA states that it intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after August 2, 2007.

The ITA states that for Winhere, Meita, Haimeng, and Golrich, it calculated an exporter/importer (or customer)-specific assessment rate for the merchandise subject to these reviews.

Where an importer (or customer)-specific ad valorem rate is greater than de minimis, the ITA will apply the assessment rate to the entered value of the importer's/customer's entries during the review period. Where an importer (or customer)-specific ad valorem rate is zero or de minimis, the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to AD duties. Where the ITA does not have entered values for all U.S. sales, it calculated a per-unit assessment rate.

For the 12 companies receiving a separate rate that were not selected for individual review, the ITA will calculate an assessment rate based on the weighted average of the cash deposit rates calculated for the companies selected for individual review excluding any that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on adverse facts available (AFA).

(See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the order, the rescission of the review for seven companies, etc.

See ITT's Online Archives or 02/22/07 news, 07022220, for BP summary of the preliminary results of these AD duty administrative and new shipper reviews.)
