Commerce has already ordered liquidation as entered, at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry, for entries during the period of review from all exporters not under review, in a message to CBP (ADCVDWeb Message # 3293403).
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD cash deposit requirements may take effect for the companies under review, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register, currently set for November. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD cash deposit rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Inmax Sdn. Bhd. and Inmax Industries Sdn. Bhd. | 0.74% |
| Region International Co. Ltd. and Region System Sdn. Bhd. | 1.28% |
| Non-Individually examined companies (applies to 35 companies) | 1.01% |
Review average rate. Commerce listed in Appendix II the companies not selected for individual review, which are subject to a rate that is the average of the Inmax and Region rates.
No shipments. Commerce said it preliminarily determined that Astrotech Steels Private Limited (Astrotech), Geekay Wires Limited (Geekay), Modern Factory for Steel Industries Co. Ltd. (Modern Factory), Trinity Steel Private Limited (Trinity) and Oman Fasteners LLC (Oman Fasteners) had no shipments during the period of review. If it continues this finding in the final results, any entries under these companies' case numbers will be liquidated at the all others rate, and these companies' cash deposit rates will not change.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the AD duties it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023. If these preliminary results are unchanged, Commerce will direct CBP to liquidate entries during that period from Inmax and Region at importer-specific rates. Entries from the other importers subject to this review will be liquidated at the rate listed above.
(The period of review is 07/01/22 - 06/30/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
