The International Trade Administration made a preliminary affirmative antidumping determination that large residential washers from Mexico (A-201-842) are being, or are likely to be, sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. The ITA found preliminary AD rates of 33.3% to 72.41%, which are effective Aug. 3. CBP is expected to implement these AD cash deposit/bond requirements soon.

Notably, the ITA used a methodology that applied ‘zeroing’ in its calculation of AD rates for LG and Samsung, respectively, which is a departure from the normal ITA practice in place since 2007. CBP is expected to implement these AD cash deposit/bond requirements soon. Pursuant to the ITA's October 2011 final rule, no bond will be accepted in lieu of a cash deposit.

The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of the administrative review of the countervailing duty order on certain pasta from Italy (C-478-819) for Molino e Pastificio Tomasello S.p.A. The ITA is also rescinding this review with respect to Industria Alimentare Filiberto Bianconi 1947 S.p.A. because it submitted a timely request for withdrawal from the review. These CV rates are not in effect. The ITA may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated CV cash deposit rate for this company.
The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from China (A-570-865) for one company, Angang International Group, which did not respond to the ITA's questionnaires and was therefore found to be part of the China-wide entity. Sixteen other companies were also found to be part of the China-wide entity because they did not submit separate rate applications/certifications. The ITA preliminarily rescinded this review with respect to Baosteel Group Corporation as a result of no shipments during the period of review. These preliminary results are not in effect. The ITA may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for this company.
The International Trade Administration initiated two new shipper reviews for the antidumping duty order on tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished, from China (A-570-601) based on requests from Zhejiang Zhengda Bearing Co., Ltd.; and Haining Automann Parts Co., Ltd., respectively. The ITA will determine if these companies are eligible for an estimated AD cash deposit rate other than the China-wide entity rate they currently receive (92.84%).
