Commerce to Set Final AD/CV Duty Assessments, New Cash Deposit Rates

In these administrative reviews, Commerce will determine final assessments of AD and CV duties on importers for entries of subject merchandise during the relevant period of review. It will also set new cash deposit requirements for subject merchandise from the companies under review, effective on the date it issues the final results of the review. The agency said it intends to issue the final results of these reviews by July 31, 2020.
