(Commerce also issued an order for the companion antidumping duty determination (see 13041023))
Gap Period of No CV Suspension of Liq or CV Duties for Dec. 4 -- April 9
For this investigation, the four-month provisional measures period for which the CV suspension of liquidation may remain in effect before the order is issued began on Aug. 6, 2012 (the publication date of the preliminary determination) and ended Dec. 4, 2012, the date Commerce instructed CBP to terminate suspension of liquidation.
Because the publication date of the International Trade Commission's final affirmative injury determination is April 10, Commerce said all entries of subject merchandise between Dec. 4, 2012, and April 9, 2013 (the gap period) are not liable for CV duty assessment.
(For entries on or after Aug. 6 through Dec. 3, suspension of liquidation and CV duty liability remains in effect.)
CV Suspension of Liq Instructions
Suspension of liquidation resumes for all entries of subject merchandise from China with a time of entry beginning April 10, the publication date of the final ITC affirmative injury determination.
CV Cash Deposit Instructions
A CV cash deposit requirement is also in effect for subject merchandise from China with a time of entry beginning April 10.
Commerce will instruct CBP to require, at the same time as importers deposit estimated duties, a cash deposit equal to the CV duty rates listed below for all entries of subject merchandise from China with a time of entry on or after April 10, as follows:
| Producer/Exporter | CV Rate |
|---|---|
| Guangdong Yingao Kitchen Utensils Co., Ltd., and Foshan Magang Kitchen Utensils Co., Ltd. | 4.8% |
| Zhongshan Superte Kitchenware Co., Ltd | 12.21% |
| Foshan Zhaoshun Trade Co., Ltd. | 12.26% |
| All Others | 8.51% |
(See notice for additional details, including the full scope description, the assessment instructions, etc. See 13032215 for summary of ITC vote on final affirmative injury, and 13022517 for summary of Commerce’s CV final determination.)
