New CVD cash deposit rates for the producers and exporters still subject to his review take effect May 13. The new rates, which also will apply for importer assessment purposes, are as follows:

Companies that didn't get a rate in this review will keep their most recently assigned cash deposit rate. If the exporter has never been assigned its own CVD 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 applies.
