Final Results of Review
As a result of its review, the ITA determines that the following weighted-average margin percentages exist for the period of review:
| Company | AD Rate |
| FLEX Middle East FZE | 3.16% |
| JBF RAK LLC | 4.88% |
Estimated AD Cash Deposit Requirements
The following estimated AD duty cash deposit requirements are effective for all shipments of subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after April 25, 2011:
- For the companies covered by this review, the cash deposit rate will be the rates listed above;
- For merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a previous segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in the most recent final results in which that producer or exporter participated;
- If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or in any previous segment of this proceeding, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be that established for the producer of the merchandise in these final results of review or in the most recent final results in which that producer participated; and
- If neither the exporter nor the producer is a firm covered in this review or in any previous segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will be 4.80 percent, the all-others rate established in the less than fair value investigation.
Assessment Instructions
The ITA has calculated importer importer-specific (or customer-specific) ad valorem
or per-unit assessment rates for subject merchandise. The ITA will issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection within 15 days after April 25, 2011.
The ITA also 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 Flex or JBF for which the reviewed companies did not know their merchandise was destined for the U.S. In such instances, the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate non-reviewed entries at the all-others rate of 4.80 percent from the investigation if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
