Commerce also is rescinding the review for five companies because there were no reviewable entries of subject merchandise from the companies during the review period. See Commerce's notice, Appendix III, for the names of the companies.
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 # 3250406).
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD cash deposit requirements may take effect for the companies listed below, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD cash deposit rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Apis Nativa Agroindustrial Exportadora Ltda. | zero |
| Melbras Importadora E Exportadora Agroindustrial Ltda. | 2.31% |
| Review Average Rate (applicable to 16 companies) | 2.31% |
Average rate. Commerce is not individually investigating 16 companies subject to this review. See Appendix II of the notice for a complete list.
Assessment Rates
If these rates are confirmed in the final results, Commerce will liquidate subject merchandise from Apis Nativa entered Nov. 23, 2021, through May 31, 2023, without assessing antidumping duties, and from Melbras at importer-specific rates. Duties would be assessed on subject merchandise from the other companies under review at the rates listed in the final results.
(The period of review is 11/23/21 - 05/31/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
