Commerce to Set Final AD/CV Duty Assessments, New Cash Deposit Rates
In these administrative reviews, Commerce will determine final assessments of AD and CV duties on importers for entries of subject merchandise during the relevant period of review. It will also set new cash deposit requirements for subject merchandise from the companies under review, effective on the date it issues the final results of the review. The agency said it intends to issue the final results of these reviews by Aug. 31, 2025.
(See Commerce's notice for a full list of companies subject to these administrative reviews. Companies not listed will have their entries liquidated at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry, and their cash deposit rates will not change.)

Separate Rate Certifications/Applications for China and Vietnam
All firms listed in Commerce's notice that wish to either retain or receive separate-rate status in the administrative reviews involving nonmarket economy (NME) countries (e.g., China and Vietnam) must complete, as appropriate, either a Separate Rate Certification or a Separate Rate Application to demonstrate independence from government control. Otherwise, they will be assigned the usually high countrywide rate. Certifications are due 30 calendar days from the publication of the notice (i.e., Oct. 21). Rate Certifications and the Separate Rate Status Applications are available on Commerce's website.
Notices of No Sales During the Review Period
If a producer or exporter named in this notice of initiation had no exports, sales or entries during the period of review, it must notify Commerce within 30 days of the publication of this notice in the Federal Register, i.e., Oct. 21. Commerce will consider rescinding the review for the producer or exporter. If Commerce rescinds the review for a company, then subject merchandise from that company will continue to enter at AD or CVD cash deposit rates set in previous reviews.
Respondent Selection
If Commerce limits the number of respondents for individual examination for administrative reviews, the agency will select respondents based on CBP data during the period of investigation. Respondent selection will be made within 30 days of publication of this Federal Register notice, i.e., Oct. 21. Comments regarding the CBP data and respondent selection should be filed within five days of placement of the CBP data on the record of the applicable review.
