Commerce will assess AD on importers at importer-specific rates for subject merchandise from Toyo Kohan entered May 1, 2022, through April 30, 2023, it said. The new AD duty cash deposit rate for Toyo Kohan takes effect Dec. 3, the publication date of these final results in the Federal Register.

For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except Toyo Kohan), 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 rate but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate of 45.42% applies.

(The review period is 05/01/22 - 04/30/23. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2405230058 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
