Final Results of Review
As a result of its review, the ITA determines that the following percentage weighted-average dumping margins exists for the period of review:
| Company | Weighted average margin |
| Aquapharm Chemicals Pvt., Ltd. | 0.00% |
Estimated AD Cash Deposit Requirements
The following estimated AD duty cash deposit requirements are effective for all shipments of subject merchandise from India with a time of entry on or after February 10, 2011:
- The cash deposit rate for Aquapharm is zero; therefore, no cash deposit rate is required, but it is still subject to the order;
- For previously reviewed or investigated companies not participating in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period;
- If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and
- The cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 3.10 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.
Assessment Instructions
The ITA will issue assessment instructions to CBP within 15 days after February 10, 2011. The ITA has calculated importer-specific duty assessment rates for subject merchandise. The ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to AD duties any entries for which the assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent).
The ITA adds that it clarified its automatic-assessment regulation in May 2003, which applies to entries of subject merchandise during the period of review produced by the company included in these final results of review for which the reviewed company did not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the U.S. In such instances, the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate effective during the period of review if there is no rate for the intermediary involved in the transaction.
