AD Cash Deposit Instructions for a Time of Entry on or after 05/04/07:

Company
(a)
(a)
(a)
(b),(c),(d)

(a) The ITA has determined a de minimis AD duty cash deposit rate of 0.00% for Seylinco, El Mana, S.A., and Mielar/CAA, therefore, no cash deposits will be required.

(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 AD duty 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 AD duty 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 AD duty cash deposit rate will continue to be 30.24%, which is the "all-others" rate established in the AD investigation.

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 AD duty order with respect to Seylinco.

Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (12/01/04 - 11/30/05)

The ITA states that it intends to issue assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after May 4, 2007. It will direct CBP to liquidate 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 of review 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.)
