Commerce to Set Final AD/CV Duty Assessments, New Cash Deposit Rates

If it conducts these administrative reviews, Commerce will determine final assessments of AD and CV duties on importers for entries of subject merchandise during the relevant period of review. It would also set new cash deposit requirements for subject merchandise from the companies under review, effective on the date it issues the final results of the review.

Products for which review may be requested and periods for which assessments apply are as follows:

Antidumping Proceedings

Countervailing Proceedings

Suspension Agreements

None.

If No Review Request, CBP to Assess AD/CV Duties Equal to Deposit Estimate

If the Commerce Department does not receive by May 2 a request for an administrative review of entries covered by an AD or CV duty order or suspension agreement listed above for the identified review period, it will instruct CBP to assess AD/CV duties on those entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated AD/CV duties required on those entries at the time of entry, and to continue to collect the cash deposit previously ordered.

Commerce said it clarified its practice in 2003 on the collection of final antidumping duties on imports of merchandise where intermediate firms are involved, and said the public should be aware of this clarification in determining whether to request an administrative review. See the 2003 notice clarifying collection of duties (here).
