Final Results of Review
As a result of its review, the ITA determines that the following weighted-average margin percentage exists for the period of review:
| Company | Weighted average margin |
| Villares Metals S.A. (VMSA) | 4.07% |
Estimated AD Cash Deposit Requirements
The following estimated AD duty cash deposit requirements are effective for all shipments of subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after January 11, 2011:
- The cash deposit rate for VMSA will be 4.07 percent;
- For previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash-deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period;
- If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-fair-value investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash-deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise;
- If neither the exporter nor the manufacturer has its own rate, the cash-deposit rate will be the all-others rate for this proceeding, 19.43 percent.
Assessment Instructions
The ITA has calculated importer/customer-specific assessment rates for these final results of review. The ITA will issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection within 15 days after January 11, 2011.
The ITA adds that it clarified its automatic-assessment regulation in May 2003, which applies to entries of subject merchandise during the period of review produced by VMSA for which VMSA did not know its merchandise was destined for the U.S. In such instances, the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries of VMSA-produced merchandise at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
