CS Wind responded to the publication of the final results of the review, alleging that Commerce made a ministerial error concerning the application of the exchange rate in the calculation of a benefit under the import duty exemption program. Commerce agreed.

When Commerce corrected the ministerial error, the rate for CS Wind Malaysia Sdn Bhd was lowered from 4.26% to 1.95%.

Commerce will assess CVD on all appropriate entries from CS Wind Malaysia based on the new 1.95% CVD rate. That new rate is applicable for cash deposit purposes beginning July 18.
