Commerce already has ordered liquidation “as entered” for subject merchandise entered April 1, 2023, through March 31, 2024, that was exported by companies that are not under review (i.e., all except Gulf Aluminium Rolling Mill B.S.C.) (AD/CVDWeb Message # 4204410).

Cash Deposit Requirements

Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD cash deposit requirements may take effect for the lone mandatory respondent, Gulf Aluminium Rolling Mill B.S.C., or GARMCO, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD cash deposit rate:

Exporter/ProducerAD Rate (Prelim)
Gulf Aluminium Rolling Mill B.S.C.15.74%

Assessment Rates

If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise exported by Gulf Aluminium Rolling Mill B.S.C. (GARMCO) during the period April 1, 2023, through March 31, 2024, will be assessed AD at importer-specific rates.

Only GARMCO is covered by this review. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters of subject merchandise will not change as a result of the review, and Commerce has ordered liquidation of entries from such companies “as entered” at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry. The cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 4.83%, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair value investigation.

(The periods of review are 04/01/23 - 03/31/24. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
