Commerce also is rescinding the review for Apis Nativa Agroindustrial Exportadora Ltda, which had its requests for review withdrawn, and for seven additional companies that had no reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during the review period. See Commerce's notice, Appendix III, for the names of all the companies, inclusive of Apis Nativa.
Cash deposit rates for all other exporters of subject merchandise will not change as a result of this 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 (ADCVDWeb Message # 4254413).
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD cash deposit requirements may take effect for the companies listed below, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD cash deposit rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Melbras Importadora E Exportadora Agroindustria Ltda | 3.94% |
| Minamel Agroindustria Ltda | 12.13% |
| Review Average Rate (applicable to 12 companies) | 8.04% |
Average rate. Commerce is not individually investigating 12 companies subject to this review. See Appendix II of the notice for a complete list.
Assessment Rates
If these rates are confirmed in the final results, Commerce will liquidate subject merchandise from Melbras and Minamel entered June 1, 2023, through May 31, 2024, at importer-specific rates, and from the remaining companies under review that were not individually examined at the rate listed above.
(The period of review is 06/01/23 - 05/31/24. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
