The International Trade Administration issued the final results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain orange juice from Brazil (A-351-840) for four companies.1 This review does not set any prospective AD cash deposit rates. AD cash deposits are no longer required for imports of orange juice from Brazil because the order was revoked effective March 9, 2011, as the result of a negative sunset review injury determination by the International Trade Commission. The ITA will, however, instruct CBP to assess AD duties on all entries from this review period at their respective importer-specific rates. Excess AD cash deposits for subject entries will also be refunded.
