Combination Rates
The ITA has calculated combination rates for respondents that are eligible for a separate rate in this AD investigation. (See ITT's Online Archives or 04/11/05 news, 05041110, for BP summary of 2005 policy bulletin outlining this change in practice with regard to AD combination rates for non-market economies (NMEs).)
AD Liquidation, Cash Deposits Refunded Prior to Final ITC Determination
Because the International Trade Commission's final injury determination is based on the threat of material injury and is not accompanied by findings that injury would have resulted, but for the imposition of suspension of liquidation of entries since the preliminary determination, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is required to release any bond or other security, and refund any cash deposit of estimated AD duties posted from the ITA's preliminary determination until the publication of the ITC's final determination of threat of material injury.
Therefore, with the exception of subject merchandise manufactured and exported by Yama Ribbons (which has an AD duty rate of zero), the ITA will instruct CBP to terminate the AD suspension of liquidation for entries of narrow woven ribbons from China with a time of entry prior to September 1, 2010 (the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination), and refund any AD cash deposits made and release any bonds posted between the publication of the ITA’s preliminary determination on February 18, 2010 and August 31, 2010.
AD Suspension of Liquidation for Sept 1 and After
The AD suspension of liquidation will be in effectfor all entries of subject merchandise from China with a time of entry on or after September 1, 2010.
AD Cash Deposit Requirements (Separate Rate Adjusted for Export Subsidy)
The ITA will also instruct CBP to require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, AD cash deposits on entries of subject merchandise from China (except for imports manufactured and exported by Yama Ribbons) with a time of entry on or after September 1, 2010 at the AD duty rates below1.
The ITA also determined that that subject merchandise exported and produced by Yama Ribbons benefitted from an export subsidy. Yama Ribbons’ final AD duty rate is zero; however, the AD duty rate for the separate rate respondents (all except mandatory respondents Yama Ribbons and the China-wide entity, including Ningbo Jintian) has been adjusted for Yama Ribbons’ export subsidy.
