For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the companies listed below), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own AD or CVD rate but the manufacturer has, the AD or CVD rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned an AD or CVD cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate (for AD it is 7.33%) applies, respectively.

New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Aug. 16

For entries on or after Aug. 16, the date of publication of the final results of each review in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD cash deposit rates for subject merchandise produced or exported by the following companies:

Producer/ExporterAD Rate
Lucchini Mame Forge S.p.A.; Lucchini Industries S.r.l.; Lucchini RS S.p.A1.41%
Cogne Acciai Speciali S.p.Azero
Officine Meccaniche Roselli S.r.l1.41%

Commerce also is setting new CVD cash deposit requirements for subject merchandise entered on or after Aug. 16 that was produced or exported by the following companies:

Producer/ExporterCV Rate
Lucchini Mame Forge S.p.A.; Lucchini RS S.p.A.; Lucchini Industries S.r.l.; and Bicomet S.p.A.6.8%
Metalcam S.p.A.: Adamello Meccanica S.r.l.; and B.S. S.r.l.3.28%
Officine Meccaniche Roselli S.r.l5.04%
Cogne Acciai Speciali S.p.A.5.04%

Assessment Rates for Entries January - December 2022

Commerce will also calculate the AD and CVD it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between Jan. 1, 2022, and Dec. 31, 2022. Subject merchandise from Cogne Acciai will be liquidated without regard to AD. Importers of subject merchandise exported by Lucchini will be assessed AD at importer-specific rates. Importers of subject merchandise exported by average rate company Officine Meccaniche Roselli S.r.l will be assessed AD at the rate listed above. Commerce will use the rates listed above to set CVD assessments for the four exporters under review for entries Jan. 1, 2022, through Dec. 31, 2022.

(The AD and CVD periods of review are both 01/01/22 - 12/31/22. See Commerce's notices for more information, including the scope of the orders, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2402060035 for a summary of the preliminary results of both the AD administrative review and the CVD administrative review.)
