*Two companies remain under review -- Suncity Sheets and Suncity Metals and Tubes Private Limited (Suncity Metals) -- according to the notice. In Suncity Sheet’s initial request for review, it identified that it “exported and entered into the U.S. subject merchandise” in the review period, and that since that time, “it changed its name from Suncity Sheets Pvt., Ltd., to Suncity Metals and Tubes Private Limited. Commerce will conduct a successor in interest determination on the name change for the purposes of the final results of its administrative review.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate final AD assessments on importers of subject merchandise exported by the companies under review that was entered between Nov. 1, 2022, and Oct. 31, 2023.
