Revocation of the Order for Colakoglu and Diler Effective April 1, 2006
The ITA has determined to revoke the AD duty order with respect to Turkish rebar produced and exported by Colakoglu Metalurji A.S. and Colakoglu Dis Ticaret A.S. (collectively, Colakoglu) and Diler Demir Celik Endustrisi ve Ticaret A.S., Yazici Demir Celik Sanayi ve Turizm Ticaret A.S., and Diler Dis Ticaret A.S. (collectively, Diler) with a time of entry on or after April 1, 2006.
The ITA will order the suspension of liquidation ended for all such entries and will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to release any AD duty cash deposits or bonds. The ITA will further instruct CBP to refund with interest any AD duty cash deposits on entries made on or after April 1, 2006.
Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (04/01/05 - 03/31/06)
The ITA states that it intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after November 6, 2007.
The ITA states that it calculated importer-specific assessment rates, and will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to AD duties any entries for which the assessment rate is de minimis. Because the ITA revoked the order with respect to subject merchandise produced and exported by Colakoglu and Diler, the ITA will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation for exports of such merchandise with a time of entry on or after April 1, 2006, and to refund all cash deposits collected.
The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by companies included in these final results of review, and by companies for which the ITA is rescinding the review based on certifications of no shipments, for which the reviewed companies did not know their merchandise was destined for the U.S., the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the "all-others" rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
