Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry for subject merchandise entered July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023, that was exported by companies that are not under review (i.e., all except those listed below) (ADCVDWeb Message # 3296409).

Cash Deposit Requirements

Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD cash deposit rates:
