Revocation of Italy AD Duty Order for Two Companies
The ITA has determined that Ferrara and Lensi qualify for revocation of the AD duty order on certain pasta from Italy and that the order, with respect to subject merchandise produced and exported by these two companies should be revoked.
As a result, the ITA is terminating suspension of liquidation for certain pasta from Italy that is produced and exported by Ferrara or produced and exported by Lensi with a time of entry on or after July 1, 2003. The ITA states that it will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to refund any cash deposits.
AD Cash Deposit Rate for a Time of Entry On/After 02/09/05:
| Company | Antidumping (AD) Rate or Note |
|---|---|
| Italy: | |
| Barilla Alimentare, S.p.A. (Barilla) | 7.25% |

The ITA has collapsed Corticella/Combattenti with Coopertive Lomellina Cerealicoltori S.r.l. (CLC), its toll producer. ITA sources explain that in this case, a "toll producer" is a subcontractor that produces the subject merchandise with a contracting company's materials and packaging. As a result of this collapsing, CLC is subject to Corticella/Combattenti's AD rate.
Tat is successor-in-interest to Pastavilla Makarnacilik San V. Tic. A.S. (Pastavilla). (See ITT's Online Archives or 01/14/04 news, 04011440, for BP summary.)
(a) With respect to Ferrara and Lensi, the ITA has found that a de minimis AD duty rate exists. However, as stated above, the AD duty order is being revoked for both of these companies.
(b) 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 recent period;
(c) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original AD duty investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and
(d) The cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 11.26% (Italy) and 51.49% (Turkey), the all others rates established in the AD duty investigations.
Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (07/01/02 - 06/30/03)
The ITA states that it will determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will assess AD duties on all appropriate entries. The ITA adds that it will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP within 15 days of February 9, 2005.
