Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (02/01/06 - 01/31/07)
The ITA will issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after March 21, 2008.
The ITA states that for DSM, it calculated an importer-specific assessment rate for these final results of review. The ITA will instruct CBP to assess the importer-specific rate uniformly, as appropriate, on all entries of subject merchandise made by the relevant importer during the review period.
Because the ITA is relying on total adverse facts available to establish TC Steel's dumping margin, it will instruct CBP to apply a dumping margin of 32.70% to all entries of subject merchandise during the review period that were produced and/or exported by TC Steel.
The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by DSM for which DSM did not know its merchandise was destined for the U.S., the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries of DSM-produced merchandise 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.)
