The review started with 18 companies, but Commerce said it is rescinding the review for Pastificio Di Martino Gaetano e Flli S.p.A. and its affiliate Pastificio Dei Campi S.p.A. because the request for review was withdrawn. Commerce also is rescinding the review for four other companies that had no reviewable suspended entries during the review period (see Appendix II for the list, which includes Pastificio), leaving 13 companies under review, 11 of which were not individually examined.
Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry for subject merchandise from exporters for which a review was not requested or a review request was subsequently withdrawn (i.e., all companies except those listed below) (ADCVDWeb Message # 4296403).
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register.
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Pastificio Lucio Garofalo S.p.A. | 91.74% |
| La Molisana, S.p.A. | 91.74% |
| Non-Individually Examined Companies (11 total)* | 91.74% |
* See Appendix III of the notice for the list of companies not individually examined.
For the companies for which the review is rescinded, Commerce said it intends to instruct CBP to assess AD on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit rate of estimated AD required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the review period.
For previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the company participated. The cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will continue to be 15.45%, the all-others rate.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce also will calculate final AD duty assessments on importers of subject merchandise exported by the companies under review that was entered July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from all companies under review would be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The period of review is 07/01/23 - 06/30/24. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
