AD Cash Deposit Rate for a Time of Entry on or after 12/04/061:
| Company | AD Cash Deposit Rate or Note |
|---|---|
| Zhanjiang Regal Integrated Marine Resources Co., Ltd. (Zhanjiang Regal), as both manufacturer and exporter | (a) |
| Zhanjiang Regal as exporter, but not manufacturer | (b) |
| Zhanjiang Regal as manufacturer, but not exporter | (c) |
(a) The ITA finds that Zhanjiang Regal as both manufacturer and exporter did not sell subject merchandise at less than normal value during the review period. Therefore, no AD cash deposit will be required; however, suspension of liquidation will continue.
(b) For subject merchandise exported by Zhanjiang Regal but not manufactured by itself, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the China-wide rate (i.e., 112.81%); and
(c) For subject merchandise manufactured by Zhanjiang Regal but not exported by itself, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter.
Assessment Instructions
The ITA states that it will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) within 15 days of December 4, 2006.
Additionally, the ITA states that it will calculate importer-specific duty assessment rates for subject merchandise, which according to trade sources, may differ significantly from the AD cash deposit rate listed above (which is a weighted average).
1 A recent law (Public Law 109-280) has suspended the option that allows importers to post bond for estimated AD or countervailing (CV) duties until the completion of a new shipper review (except for those involving goods of Canada or Mexico).
