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 or CVD rate but the manufacturer has, the AD or CVD rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned an AD or CVD cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate of 19.98% applies, respectively.
