For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the companies listed below), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own AD rate but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate of 2.66% applies.
New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Feb. 6
For entries on or after Feb. 6, the publication date in the Federal Register of these final results, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates for subject merchandise produced or exported by the companies listed below, as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Inmax Sdn. Bhd. and Inmax Industries Sdn. Bhd. | zero |
| Region International Co. Ltd. and Region System Sdn. Bhd. | 1.08% |
| Non-Individually examined companies (applies to 23 companies*) | 1.08% |
Review average rate. Commerce listed in Appendix II the 23 companies not selected for individual review, which are subject to a rate that is the same as for Region, since the rate for Inmax is zero.
No shipments. Commerce continued its preliminarily finding that Astrotech Steels Private Limited (Astrotech), Geekay Wires Limited (Geekay), Modern Factory for Steel Industries Co. Ltd. (Modern), and Trinity Steel Private Limited (Trinity) had no shipments during the period of review. As a result, cash deposit rates for these companies won't change as a result of this review, and any entries under their case numbers will be liquidated at the "all-others" rate.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the AD it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between July 1, 2021, and June 30, 2022. Commerce will direct CBP to liquidate entries during that period from Inmax without regard to AD, and from Region at importer-specific rates. Entries from the other importers subject to this review will be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The review period is 07/01/21 - 06/30/22. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2308030059 for a summary of the preliminary results of this review.)
