Final Results of Review
As a result of its review, the ITA determines that the following weighted-average margin percentages exist for the period of review
| Company | AD margin |
| Ternium Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (formerly known as Hylsa, S.A. de C.V.) | 48.33% |
| Mueller Comercial de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. | 19.81% |
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 June 21, 2011:
- The cash deposit rates for the reviewed companies will be the rates listed above;
- If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, but was covered in a previous review or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, 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 original LTFV 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; and
- The cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 32.62 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.
Assessment Instructions
The ITA will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection shall assess, AD duties on all appropriate entries. The ITA will issue assessment instructions to CBP within 41 days after June 21, 2011 to assess AD duties on appropriate entries by applying the assessment rate to the entered value of the merchandise.
The ITA also clarified its automatic-assessment regulation in May 2003, which applies to entries of subject merchandise during the period of review produced by companies included in these final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not know that the merchandise they sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the U.S. In such instances, the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediary involved in the transaction.
