Commerce said it made certain changes to the rates calculated in the preliminary results for R.N. Gupta & Co. Ltd. and Norma Group.

New Cash Deposit Rates Took Effect Jan. 2

For entries on or after Jan. 2, the date these final results were published 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
Norma (India) Ltd./USK Exports Private Ltd./Uma Shanker Khandelwal & Co./Bansidhar Chiranjilal0.89%
R.N. Gupta & Co., Ltd.3.6%
Review Average Rate (Applicable to 12 companies)2.54%

Review average rate. The review average AD rate is applicable to 12 companies, as listed in Appendix II of the notice.

For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the companies listed above, including the 12 listed in Appendix II), 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 8.91% applies.

Assessment Rates for Entries August 2022 - July 2023

Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to calculate assessments of AD on importers of subject merchandise for entries between Aug. 1, 2022, and July 31, 2023. Commerce will calculate importer-specific AD rates for entries from R.N. Gupta and Norma, and will assess AD duties on all entries of subject merchandise from the other companies under review at the rates listed above.
