(The ITA issued its second remand redetermination to the Court of International Trade in July 2005. On September 22, 2005, the CIT sustained the ITA's second remand redetermination.)
As a result, the ITA is revising the AD duty rate for one company as follows:
AD Cash Deposit Instructions for a Time of Entry on or after 06/14/07:
| Company | Amended AD Duty Rate |
|---|---|
| Hebei Metals & Minerals Import & Export Corporation and Hebei Wuxin Metals & Minerals Trading Co., Ltd. (collectively, Hebei Metals) | 6.49% (from 6.60%) |
The ITA notes that the China-wide entity rate continues to be 15.61% as determined in its final determination.
ITA to Issue CBP Instructions, Liquidation of Entries at New AD Rate, Etc.
The ITA will issue instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection to revise the AD cash deposit rate for Hebei Metals, effective June 14, 2007, within five business days of June 14, 2007. Because Hebei Metals received a preliminary injunction, the ITA will also instruct CBP to liquidate all entries, for which no review was requested, at the new AD cash deposit rate.
