Commerce said it is rescinding the review for 28 companies that had no reviewable suspended entries during the review period. See Appendix II of the notice for the list of companies.
This review covers only the remaining two companies listed below. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters of subject merchandise will not change as a result of this review, and Commerce has ordered liquidation of entries from such companies "as entered" at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry (ADCVDWeb Message # 3167413).
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for the companies still under review, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty cash deposit rates:
| Producer/Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Saha Thai Steel Pipe Public Company, Ltd. (also known as Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Company, Ltd.) | zero |
| Thai Premium Pipe Co., Ltd. | zero |
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the antidumping duties it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between March 1, 2022, and Feb. 28, 2023. If these preliminary results are unchanged, Commerce will direct CBP to liquidate entries from Saha Thai and Thai Premium during that period without regard to antidumping duties. The cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters (i.e., those not under review) would be 15.67%, the all-others rate.
(The period of review is 03/01/22 - 02/28/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
