No Cash Deposit for Reviewed Company, Order Revoked Effective 04/23/07
According to the ITA, this review covers 1 manufacturer/exporter, Fagersta Stainless AB (FSAB), and its affiliates AB Sandvik Materials Technology and Kanthal AB. However, no cash deposit is required for this company, as the ITA revoked this AD duty order and has previously instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate, without regard to AD duties, entries of the subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after April 23, 2007, and to discontinue collection of cash deposits of AD duties. (See ITT's Online Archives or 05/08/07 news, 07050820, for BP summary of the revocation of this AD duty order.)
Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (09/01/05 - 08/31/06)
The ITA intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions for the company subject to this review directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after March 11, 2008. The ITA will instruct CBP to assess AD duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review if any importer-specific assessment rate calculated in the final results of this review is above de minimis. The ITA calculated importer-specific or importer-specific per-unit duty assessment rates for entries of subject merchandise.
The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by the company included in these final results of review for which the reviewed company did not know its merchandise it sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) 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 intermediary 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.)
(See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the order, etc. See ITT's Online Archives or 10/05/07 news, 07100540, for BP summary of the preliminary results of this AD duty administrative review.)
