Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that AG der Dillinger H[uuml]ttenwerke (Dillinger) did not make sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR), May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results of review.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Dillinger Preliminary Zero Dumping Margin
Commerce preliminarily found that AG der Dillinger Hütttenwerke had a 0.00 percent dumping margin for the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025. This preliminary result means Dillinger's sales during that period were not found to be sold at less than normal value.
20.99% All-Others Cash Deposit Rate
Commerce will continue to require a 20.99 percent cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters of the subject merchandise. For Dillinger, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the final results of this review and, if that rate is less than 0.50 percent, the cash deposit rate will be zero.
Importer Reimbursement Certificate Requirement
Importers must file a certificate about whether antidumping duties were reimbursed prior to liquidation of the relevant entries, as required by 19 CFR 351.402(f). If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Automatic Assessment for Unknown-U.S.-Destined Entries
For entries produced by Dillinger during the period of review for which Dillinger did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate from the LTFV investigation if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved. The all-others rate referenced in this proceeding is 20.99 percent.
