The Commerce Department said it's rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain chassis and subassemblies thereof from China (A-570-135) for the period of review July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, because there were no reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during that period for the companies subject to the review. The cash deposit rates won't change, and the current cash deposit requirements will remain in effect until further notice. Because the review has been rescinded in its entirety, the entries to which it pertained will be assessed AD at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated AD required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, Commerce said.
