Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD cash deposit requirements may take effect for the 23 companies under review, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register.

Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce also will calculate final AD assessments on importers of subject merchandise exported by the companies under review that was entered between May 1, 2023, and April 30, 2024. If the preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from SeAH and Hyundai/HSP won't be assessed AD, and the zero percent rate would apply to importers from the other 21 companies under review but not individually examined.
