Italy Pasta: Prelim Results of CV Admin Review

The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its countervailing duty administrative review on pasta from Italy (C-475-819). The agency preliminarily calculated a zero percent CV duty rate for DeCecco, as well as new preliminary rates for four other exporters. If the agency's findings are confirmed in the final results, DeCecco pasta entered between January 2012 and December 2012 will not be assessed CV duties, and future entries of DeCecco pasta will not be subject to an CV cash deposit requirement until further notice.

Rates Only Preliminary; Cash Deposit Rates From Previous Proceedings Still in Effect

These CV rates are only preliminary, and do not change current CV duty rates. Commerce may still change its calculations when it issues the final results of this administrative review. For now, the most recent final CV rate calculated for each Italian company is still applicable. If no final CV duty rate has ever been calculated for a company, then it is subject to the all others rate. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in December.

Cash Deposit Requirements

Once Commerce issues its final results, new CV duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register.

Assessment Rates

If Commerce continues to calculate a zero CV duty rate for DeCecco in the final results of its administrative review, the agency will not assess CV duties on importers for entries of subject merchandise from this company entered between Jan. 1, 2012 and Dec. 31, 2012.
