Zero AD Rates for 25 Cos. for 8 EU & Japan AD Orders Effective June 8

The U.S. Trade Representative instructed the International Trade Administration to implement the results of its Section 129 recalculations of the antidumping cash deposit rates currently in effect for companies whose merchandise is subject to 8 AD duty orders on certain products originating from the European Union and Japan, in order to implement the WTO’s findings in three zeroing disputes. Section 129 determinations are prospective in nature. The ITA said these final results will not determine assessment rates for entries of subject merchandise made during the period of review in question, but only cash deposit rates on entries beginning June 8, 2012 (the date of the USTR’s implementation letter. The ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to implement these recalculated AD cash deposit rates soon.
