The Commerce Department began administrative reviews for certain firms subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders with August anniversary dates. Producers and exporters subject to any of these administrative reviews on China or Vietnam must submit their separate rate certifications or applications on or about Nov. 10 to avoid being assigned high China-wide or Vietnam-wide rates.

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 Aug. 31, 2023.

(See Commerce's notice for a full list of companies subject to these administrative reviews. Companies not listed will have their entries liquidated at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry, and their cash deposit rates will not change.)

Separate Rate Certifications/Applications for China and Vietnam

All firms listed in Commerce's notice that wish to either retain or receive separate-rate status in the administrative reviews involving nonmarket economy (NME) countries (e.g., China and Vietnam) must complete, as appropriate, either a Separate Rate Certification or a Separate Rate Application to demonstrate independence from government control. Otherwise, they will be assigned the usually high countrywide rate. Certifications are due 30 calendar days from the publication of the notice (i.e., Nov. 10). Rate Certifications and the Separate Rate Status Applications are at http://www.trade.gov/enforcement.

Notices of No Sales During the Review Period

If a producer or exporter named in this notice of initiation had no exports, sales or entries during the period of review, it must notify Commerce within 30 days of the publication of this notice in the Federal Register, i.e., Nov. 10. Commerce will consider rescinding the review for the producer or exporter. If Commerce rescinds the review for a company, then subject merchandise from that company will continue to enter at AD or CV duty cash deposit rates set in previous reviews.

Respondent Selection

If Commerce limits the number of respondents for individual examination for administrative reviews, the agency will select respondents based on CBP data during the period of investigation. Respondent selection will be made within 30 days of publication of this Federal Register notice, i.e., Nov. 10. Comments regarding the CBP data and respondent selection should be filed within five days of placement of the CBP data on the record of the applicable review.
