Liquidation 'As Entered' for Entries From Exporters Not Subject to Review
Only the exporters for which an administrative review was requested are covered by this review. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters will not change. Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” for entries during the period of review from all exporters for which a review was not requested (ADCVDWeb Message # 1250410).
The agency also intends to end the review of 23 companies for which the requests for review were timely withdrawn by interested parties. The companies are: Antique Marbonite Private Limited; Argil Ceramics; ARO Granite Industries Limited; Baba Super Minerals Pvt. Ltd.; Camrola Quartz Limited; Cuarzo; Esprit Stones Pvt. Ltd.; Global Stones Pvt. Ltd.; Hi Elite Quartz LLP, India; Keros Stone LLP; Mahi Granites Private Limited; Malbros Marbles & Granites Industries; Pacific Industries Limited; Pacific Quartz Surfaces LLP; Paradigm Stone India Pvt. Ltd.; Pelican Quartz Stone; PESL; Rocks Forever; Satya Exports; Shivam Enterprises; Southern Rocks and Minerals Pvt. Ltd.; Sunex Stones Private Limited, India; and Tab India Granites Private Limited, India.
Cash Deposit Requirements
For the one company that remains subject to review, new CV duty cash deposit requirements may take effect beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register, currently scheduled for October. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following CV duty cash deposit rates:
| Producer/Exporter | 2019 Rate (Prelim)* | CV Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|---|
| Divyashakti Granites Ltd. | 1.98% | 1.18% |
*This rate is for assessment purposes only for subject merchandise entered Oct. 11, 2019, through Dec. 31, 2019. The rate listed in the “CV Rate” column is the assessment rate for entries in calendar year 2020, as well as the CV rate for cash deposit purposes.
For all non-reviewed firms, Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits of estimated CVDs at the most recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate.
(The period of review is 10/11/19 - 12/31/20. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
