Commerce is also conducting countervailing duty investigations on hexamine from China and India. Suspension of liquidation and CVD cash deposit requirements took effect March 7 (see 2503070041).
AD Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation for all entries of subject merchandise that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse May 6 (suspension of liquidation is already in effect for CVD purposes for China and India), and require cash deposits at the following rates:
China
| Exporter/Producer | AD Rate | Adjusted* |
|---|---|---|
| China-wide Entity | 405.19% | 394.65% |
*As adjusted for export subsidies found in Commerce's preliminary CVD determination. This rate is the cash deposit rate while CVD suspension of liquidation remains in effect. If CVD suspension of liquidation is lifted (e.g., if the “provisional measures” period expires), the rate in the “AD Rate” column will be the AD cash deposit rate.
