Sodium nitrite from India is already subject to suspension of liquidation and countervailing duty cash deposit requirements, which began when Commerce issued its preliminary CVD determination in June (see 2206170056). Suspension of liquidation and CVD cash deposit requirements also have been effect for sodium nitrite from Russia since April (see 2204140024) and were confirmed in a final determination issued June 28 (see 2206280057).
​AD Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation for AD purposes for all entries of subject merchandise that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after Aug. 17 (liquidation is already suspended for CVD purposes), and require AD cash deposits as follows:
| Exporter/Producer | AD Rate | Adjusted* |
|---|---|---|
| Deepak Nitrite Limited | 58.13% | 57.24% |
| All Others | 58.13% | 57.24% |
* As adjusted for export subsidies found in the concurrent CV duty investigation. This rate is the AD cash deposit rate while CVD suspension of liquidation remains in effect.
(The period of investigation is 01/01/21 - 12/31/21. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope, suspension of liquidation, detailed cash deposit instructions, etc. See 2202070025 for a summary of initiation of this investigation, and 2201180052 for the underlying petition.)
