Final Results of Review
As a result of its review, the ITA determines that the following weighted-average margin percentage exists for the period of review:
| Company | AD margin |
| Jungbunzlauer Canada Inc. (JBL Canada) | 1.60% |
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 June 10, 2011:
1. The cash deposit rate for JBL Canada will be the rate shown above;
2. 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;
3. If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior 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
4. The cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 23.21%, the all-others rate made effective by the LTFV investigation.
Assessment Instructions
The ITA has calculated importer- or customer-specific per-unit duty assessment rates for subject merchandise. The ITA will issue assessment instructions to CBP within 41 days after June 10, 2011.
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 if there is no rate for the 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.)
1Subsequent to the imposition of the AD duty order, the ITA instructed CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to AD duties, entries of subject merchandise for the period May 20 through May 28, 2009. Accordingly, this administrative review does not include the period May 20, 2009, through May 28, 2009. (See ITT's Online Archives 05/29/09 news, 09052945, for BP summary of the ITA's issuance of the AD duty order and termination of the AD suspension of liquidation from May 20-28, 2009.)
