The ITA is amending the final results to correct ministerial errors made in the calculation of the dumping margin for Pastificio Attilio Mastromauro-Pasta Granoro S.r.L.
Amended Final Results of Review
As a result of correcting the ministerial errors, the ITA has determined that the following amended margin exists for the period of review:
| Company | Amended weighted average margin |
| Pastificio Attilio Mastromauro-Pasta Granoro S.r.L. | 0.47% - de minimis (from 0.80%) |
(The ITA notes that the amended final results do not change the AD duty margin of 3.61% for Pastificio Lucio Garofalo, the other company reviewed in the original final results.)
Amended Estimated AD Cash Deposits Requirements
The following amended estimated AD duty deposit requirements are effective for all shipments of subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after February 7, 2011:
- For companies covered by this review, the cash deposit rate will be the rate listed above1;
- For previously reviewed or investigated companies other than those covered by this review, the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate established for the most recent period;
- If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-fair-value investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the subject merchandise; and
- If neither the exporter nor the producer is a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the investigation, the cash deposit rate will be 15.45%, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.
Assessment Rates
The ITA calculated importer-specific duty assessment rates for subject merchandise. Where the assessment rate is above de minimis, the ITA will instruct U.S Customs and Border Protection to assess duties on all entries of subject merchandise by that importer. The ITA will issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP within 15 days after February 7, 2011.
The ITA adds that it clarified its "automatic assessment" regulation on May 6, 2003, which will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the period of review produced by companies examined in this review (i.e., companies for which a dumping margin was calculated) where the companies did not know that their merchandise was destined for the U.S. In such instances, 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. (See ITT's Online Archives or 06/02/03 news, 03060245, for BP summary of the ITA's May 2003 "automatic assessment" regulation.)
1Because Granoro's AD duty rate is now de minimis, cash deposits are no longer required for Granoro effective for entries on or after February 7, 2011.
