The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determination, currently scheduled for Sept. 7. If the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue an AD duty order and duties will be made permanent. If the ITC finds no injury, the investigation will be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded.
Estimated AD Cash Deposit Rates Fall
Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of ferrosilicon from Venezuela, and require an AD cash deposit for all imports of subject merchandise from Venezuela equal to the following AD rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
| FerroAtlantica de Venezuela | 22.84% (from 27.27%) |
| All Others | 22.84% (from 27.27%) |
