The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determinations, currently scheduled for Aug. 19, according to the ITC's calendar. If the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue AD orders and duties will be made permanent. If the ITC finds no injury, the investigations will be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded.
Commerce also issued affirmative final determinations in its concurrent countervailing duty investigation on hexamine from China, setting CVD rates at 420.73% for all Chinese exporters (see 2507230008). Commerce also is conducting ongoing AD investigations on hexamine from Germany, India and Saudi Arabia, as well as an ongoing CVD investigation on hexamine from India.
Estimated AD Cash Deposit Rates
Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation for AD purposes and set cash deposit rates as follows:
| Producer/Exporter | AD Rate | Adjusted* |
|---|---|---|
| China-wide Entity (includes all Chinese companies) | 405.19% | 394.65% |
*As adjusted for export subsidies found in the concurrent CVD investigation. This adjustment is not in effect, and will only be the cash deposit rate once CVD collection resumes upon publication of the ITC's final injury determination.
(The period of investigation is 01/01/24 - 06/30/24. See Commerce’s notice for more information, including the scope of the investigation, detailed instructions on cash deposit rates, etc. See 2505070064 for Commerce's preliminary determination in this investigation.)
