Commerce has ordered entries during this period from all exporters not under review (i.e., all except Nippon Steel) to be liquidated as entered, at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry (ADCVDWeb Messages # 4079402).
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily determined that the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for Nippon Steel:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Nippon Steel Corp. | 204.79% |
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 Dec. 1, 2022, through Nov. 30, 2023. If the preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from Nippon Steel during that period would be assigned importer-specific rates.
(The period of review is 12/01/22 - 11/30/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
