The Commerce Department said it's rescinding the administrative review of the countervailing duty order on melamine from China (C-570-021) for the period of review Jan. 1, 2023, through Dec. 31, 2023, because there were no reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during the review period for Sichuan Aolaite Chemical Co. Ltd. and Xinji Jiuyuan, the only two companies for which the review was requested. The cash deposit rates won't change, and the current cash deposit requirements will remain in effect until further notice. Because the review has been rescinded in its entirety, the entries to which this administrative review pertained will be assessed CVD at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated CVD required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, Commerce said.
