Mexico ESB Rubber: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department has published the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on emulsion styrene butadiene rubber from Mexico (A-201-848), making no changes to its preliminary results. Commerce set an AD rate of zero percent for Industrias Negromex S.A. de C.V., the one mandatory respondent in the review. Because the rate is zero percent, that zero percent rate was also applied to three non-individually examined companies -- Continental Tire de Mexico S.A. de C.V., Hyundai Glovis Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. and Pirelli Neumaticos S.A. de C.V.

As a result, the agency won't assess AD for subject merchandise from Negromex entered Sept. 1, 2021, through Aug. 31, 2022, it said. AD also won't be assessed on the subject merchandise from the other three companies. The new AD duty cash deposit rate for the four companies takes effect Feb. 13, the date the final results were published in the Federal Register.
For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the four companies listed above), 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 19.52% applies.
Commerce continued to find that Dynasol Elastomeros S.A. de C.V. had no shipments during the review period. Therefore, the cash deposit rate for Dynasol won't change, and any entries under its case number will be liquidated at the all-others rate.
Commerce did, however, rescind the review for Dynasol LLC, because it is a U.S. importer, rather than a producer or exporter of subject merchandise, and therefore not eligible for review.
(The review period is 09/01/21 - 08/31/22. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2310060039 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
