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 21, 2011:
- The cash deposit rates for the companies listed above will be the rates established in the final results of this review;
- For previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent final results in which that manufacturer or exporter participated;
- If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent final results for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and
- If neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any previous review conducted by the ITA, the cash deposit rate will be 4.80 percent, the "all others" rate established in the LTFV investigation.
Assessment Instructions
The ITA has calculated importer-specific assessment rates for subject merchandise, and will issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection within 15 days after June 21, 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 companies included in these final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not know that the merchandise they 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.)
