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 Messages # 3250402).
In these preliminary results, Commerce also is ending its review with respect to 28 companies that either had their requests for their review withdrawn or had no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the period of review. The companies are listed according to the explanation in Appendix II of the notice.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty 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 duty cash deposit rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Pokarna Engineered Stone Limited | zero |
| Marudhar Rocks International Pvt. Ltd./Marudhar Quartz Surface Private Limited | zero |
| Non-Individually Examined Companies (applicable to 44 companies) | zero |
Average Rate. Commerce is not individually investigating 44 companies subject to this review, instead assigning them the average rate of the non-selected companies (i.e., zero percent). See Appendix III of the notice for a complete list.
Assessment Rates
If these rates are confirmed in the final results, Commerce would liquidate subject merchandise from PESL, Marudhar and the 44 non-individually examined companies entered June 1, 2022, through May 31, 2023, without assessing antidumping duties.
(The period of review is 06/01/22 - 05/31/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
