(c) If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a previous review, or the original AD investigation, but the manufacturer is, then the AD duty cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and
(d) If neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any previous review, the AD duty cash deposit rate will be 6.33%, the "all others" rate established in the amended final determination.
Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (07/01/04 - 06/30/05)
The ITA states that it intends to issue assessment instructions for subject merchandise to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after February 12, 2007.
Additionally, the ITA states that it calculated importer-specific duty assessment rates for subject merchandise, which trade sources note may differ significantly from the AD cash deposits rate listed above (which are weighted averages).
The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by the respondent for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the U.S., the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the "all-others" rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
