Amended Estimated AD Cash Deposit Requirements

The following cash deposit requirements will be effective retroactively on any entries of subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after March 23, 2011 (the publication date of the final results):

1. For the exporters listed above, the cash deposit rate will be established in the amended final results of this review;

2. For previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period;

3. For all PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of 118.04 percent; and

4. For all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporters that supplied that non-PRC exporter.

Assessment Rates

The ITA will calculate importer-specific (or customer-specific) ad valorem duty assessment rates for subject merchandise. For the companies receiving a separate rate that were not selected for individual review, it will calculate an assessment rate based on the simple average of the cash deposit rates calculated for the companies selected for individual review. The ITA will issue assessment instructions to CBP within 15 days after April 26, 2011.
