AD Cash Deposit Instructions for a Time of Entry on or after 12/14/06:
| Company |
|---|
| (a) |
| (b),(c),(d) |
(a) The ITA has found that the AD duty rate is de minimis for Dillinger (0.16%). As a result, the cash deposit rate will be zero; however, suspension of liquidation will continue;
(b) For merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review, but covered in the AD investigation, the AD duty cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate established in the final determination;
(c) If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or the AD investigation, but the producer is, the AD duty cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the producer of the subject merchandise for the most recent period; and
(d) If neither the exporter nor the producer is a firm covered in this review or the AD investigation, the AD duty cash deposit rate will be the 36.00%, the "all others" rate established in the AD investigation.
Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (08/01/04 - 07/31/05)
The ITA states that it will issue appropriate assessment instructions for subject merchandise directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) within 15 days of December 14, 2006.
Additionally, the ITA states that it calculated importer-specific duty assessment rates for subject merchandise, which trade sources note may differ significantly from the AD cash deposit rate listed above (which is a weighted average).
The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by Dillinger for which it did not know its 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.
