Only the exporters for which an administrative review was requested are covered by these reviews. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters will not change. Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” for entries during the period of review from all exporters for which a review was not requested (ADCVDWeb Message # 4107401).
Commerce is also ending its review for one company, ST9 Gas + Oil, LLC, after finding it had no shipments of subject merchandise to the U.S. during the period of review. The cash deposit rate for ST9 won't change as a result of this review, and any entries under their case number will liquidate at the "all others" rate, i.e., 7.33%.
AD Duty Cash Deposit Requirements
New AD cash deposit requirements may take effect beginning on the date of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD cash deposit rates:
| Producer/Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Lucchini Mamé Forge S.p.A.; Lucchini Industries S.r.l.; Lucchini RS S.p.A. | 8.87% |
| Cogne Acciai Speciali S.p.A | zero |
Assessment Rates
If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise exported by Lucchini during the period Jan. 1, 2023, through Dec. 31, 2023, will be assessed AD at importer-specific rates, and importers from Cogne Acciai wouldn't be assessed AD. Entries from any other companies would be assessed AD at the rates listed above.
(The period of review is 01/01/23 - 12/31/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
