Company
(a)
(b),(c),(d)

(a) The ITA has determined a de minimis AD duty cash deposit rate for Mittal (0.40%), therefore, no AD duty cash deposit will be required, but it remains subject to the order;

(b) For merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review, but covered in the AD investigation or a previous review, the AD duty cash deposit rate will continue to be the most recent company-specific rate established in the final determination or final results;

(c) If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a previous review, or the AD investigation, but the producer is, the AD duty cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the producer of the subject merchandise for the most recent period; and

(d) If neither the exporter nor the producer is a firm covered in this review, a previous review, or the AD investigation, the AD duty cash deposit rate will be 11.40%, the "all others'' rate established in the investigation.

Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (10/01/05 - 09/30/06)

The ITA states that it intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after November 7, 2007.

The ITA states that it calculated importer-specific assessment rates, which trade sources note may differ significantly from the cash deposit rate listed above.

The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by Mittal where Mittal did not know its 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.
