The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determinations, which are currently due to be published in early October, according to the ITC. If the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue AD orders and duties will be made permanent. If the ITC finds no injury, the investigations will be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded.

Commerce also issued affirmative final determinations in its concurrent countervailing duty investigation on slag pots from China, setting CVD rates at 226.16% for all Chinese exporters (see 2508280035).

Estimated AD Cash Deposit Rates

Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation for AD purposes and set cash deposit rates as follows:

ExporterAD RateAdjusted*
China-wide Entity294.43%278.81%

*As adjusted for export subsidies found in the concurrent CVD investigation. This adjustment isn't in effect, and will be the cash deposit rate only once CVD collection resumes upon publication of the ITC's final injury determination.

(The period of investigation is 04/01/24 - 09/30/24. See Commerce’s notice for more information, including the scope of the investigation, detailed instructions on cash deposit rates, etc. See 2506160026 for Commerce's preliminary determination in this investigation.)
