Suspension of Liquidation to be Terminated, Cash Deposit/Bond Refunded

The ITA states that because the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for the sole investigated company, Dubai Wire FZE/Global Fasterners Ltd., is 0.00% (de minimis), it will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to terminate the suspension of liquidation of all imports of subject merchandise from the UAE with a time of entry on or after January 23, 2008, and to release any bond or other security, and refund any cash deposit.

(In its preliminary determination, the ITA found a preliminary AD duty rate of 4.47% for Dubai Wire.)
