Russia Ferrosilicon: Details of AD/CVD Orders
The Commerce Department on Nov. 20 released antidumping and countervailing duty orders on ferrosilicon from Russia (A-821-838/C-821-839). The orders set permanent antidumping and countervailing duties, which will remain in place unless revoked by Commerce in a sunset or changed circumstances review. Commerce will now begin conducting annual administrative reviews, if requested, to determine final assessments of AD/CVD on importers and make changes to cash deposit rates.

The order details a “gap period” of no AD/CVD liability for subject merchandise entered Oct. 26, 2024, through Nov. 7, 2024. Commerce may suspend liquidation for only a four-month period after its preliminary AD/CVD determinations (extendable to six months for AD cases but not extended in this case), issued June 28, 2024, without an International Trade Commission final affirmative injury determination in place. Commerce will order CBP to liquidate, without regard to AD or CVD, any entries during this gap period.
Commerce will order the refund of all AD/CVD cash deposits collected on ferrosilicon from Russia entered before June 28, 2024, because the ITC reversed Commerce's findings of critical circumstances and retroactive collection of cash deposits (see 2408270018).
AD/CV Suspension of Liq Instructions
Suspension of liquidation resumes for all entries of subject merchandise entered on or after Nov. 8, the date that the final ITC affirmative injury determination was published.
Estimated AD Cash Deposit Rates
Commerce will instruct CBP to again suspend liquidation for AD purposes for all entries of subject merchandise on or after Nov. 8, and require AD cash deposits as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Russia-wide Entity | 283.27% |
Estimated CVD Cash Deposit Rates
Likewise, Commerce will direct CBP to again suspend liquidation for CVD purposes for all entries of subject merchandise on or after Nov. 8, and require CVD cash deposits as follows:
| Company | CVD Rate |

| All Others | 748.58% |
(See the notice for additional details, including the full scope description, etc. See 2409170045 for a summary of the final AD/CVD determinations.)
