The ITA is amending the final results to correct ministerial errors in its calculation of ThyssenKrupp Mexinox S.A. de C.V.’s AD duty margin.
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 |
| ThyssenKrupp Mexinox S.A. de C.V. | 12.13% (from 21.16%) |
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 18, 20111:
- For Mexinox, the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate shown above;
- For previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above that have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period;
- The cash deposit rate for all other Mexican exporters will be 30.69 percent, the all others rate from the less-than-fair-value investigation; and
- The cash deposit rate for all non-Mexican exporters will be the rate applicable to the Mexican exporter that supplied that exporter.
Assessment Rates
The ITA has calculated importer-specific duty assessment rates for subject merchandise. The ITA will issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP within 15 days after February 18, 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 review period produced by Mexinox for which Mexinox did not know the merchandise was destined for the U.S. In such instances, the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the 30.69 percent all others rate if there is no company-specific rate for an intermediary 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.)
1Note that the ITA's Federal Register notice states that the cash deposits are effective February 14, 2011, but sources confirm that the effective date is the date of publication, which is February 18.
