Only the exporters for which an administrative review was requested are covered by these reviews. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters will not change. Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” for entries during the period of review from all exporters for which a review was not requested (ADCVDWeb Messages # 3110406, 3111408).
Commerce is also ending its countervailing duty review for 19 companies, and its antidumping duty review for the same 19 companies plus one more (for a total of 20), after finding these companies had no shipments to the U.S. during the period of review. These companies' cash deposit rates won't change as a result of these reviews, and any entries under their case numbers will liquidate at the "all others" rate. See Appendix II of each notice for a full list.
