Commerce said that during the final determinations, it received information that “Borusan Mannesmann” is not a legal entity, and that Borusan Mannesmann Pipe US, Inc., is a U.S.-based firm that is not a producer or exporter of the subject merchandise. Thus, Commerce rescinded the review with respect to those companies for the final determinations, reducing the number of companies reviewed in the preliminary determinations by two.
For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the companies listed above), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own CV rate, but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the “all others” rate applies.
(The review period is 01/01/19 - 12/31/19. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2106030018 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
