(a) The ITA has determined that the AD duty cash deposit rate is zero for ACA, Seylinco, Patagonik S.A., El Mana S.A. and Naiman S.A. Therefore, no AD cash deposits will be required; however, they remain subject to the order.
(b) If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, but was covered in a previous review or the original AD investigation, 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 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) If neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any previous review conducted by the ITA, the cash deposit rate will continue to be 30.24%, which is the all-others rate established in the AD investigation.
Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (12/01/05 - 11/30/06)
The ITA will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after May 2, 2008. It will also direct CBP to liquidate affected entries without regard to AD duties.
The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by companies included in these final results for which the reviewed companies did not know their merchandise was destined for the U.S., the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. (See ITT's Online Archives or 06/02/03 news, 03060245, for BP summary of the ITA's May 2003 "automatic assessment" regulation.)
1The ITA states that although Seylinco had three consecutive years of sales at not less than normal value, Seylinco did not sell subject merchandise in commercial quantities in each of these three years forming the basis of the request for revocation. Thus, Seylinco is not eligible for consideration for revocation, and the ITA has determined not to revoke the antidumping duty order with respect to Seylinco.
(See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the order, etc.
