Preliminary Countervailing Duty Rates Set
The Department of Commerce preliminarily found countervailable subsidies for certain Italian producers for the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. Commerce preliminarily assigned ad valorem subsidy rates of 8.49% to Lucchini Mame Forge S.p.A. and 10.89% to Metalcam S.p.A., and a review-specific average rate of 9.15% applicable to Cogne Acciai Speciali S.p.A. and Officine Meccaniche Roselli S.r.l.
Assessment and Cash Deposit Instructions
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess countervailing duties on appropriate entries covered by this review after the final results and intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results. Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results, and if a final rate is zero or de minimis, no cash deposit will be required.
Partial Rescission for Forge Monchieri
Commerce is rescinding the administrative review for Forge Monchieri S.p.A. because there were no reviewable, suspended entries during January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. For Forge Monchieri entries during that period, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess countervailing duties at the cash deposit amount required at the time of entry.
