Full text as published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection

1. On 08/17/2022, Commerce published in the Federal Register (87 FR 50604) its affirmative preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value, postponement of the final determination, and extension of provisional measures in the antidumping duty investigation of sodium nitrite (see message number 2230413, dated 08/18/2022). The cash deposit rates in that message were adjusted to reflect offsets for certain subsidies associated with the companion countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of this merchandise (C-533-907). 2. The final day that provisional measures in the companion CVD proceeding were in effect was 10/18/2022. As a result, suspension of liquidation was discontinued in that case (see message number 2301401, dated 10/28/2022). Therefore, effective 10/19/2022 (the day after the final day of provisional measures in the companion CVD proceeding), CBP should collect the full cash deposit rate calculated in the antidumping duty proceeding, as identified in the paragraph below. 3. Accordingly, for shipments of subject merchandise from the producers and/or exporters listed below, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 10/19/2022 (the day after the final day of provisional measures in the companion CVD investigation), CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the following dumping margins: Producer and/or exporter: Deepak Nitrite Limited Case number: A-533-906-001 Cash deposit rate: 58.13% All Others Case number: A-533-906-000 Cash deposit rate: 58.13% 4. If any entries of this merchandise are exported by a firm other than the producer, then the following instructions apply: A. If the exporter of the subject merchandise does not have its own rate but the producer has its own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the producer's rate. B. Where neither the exporter nor the producer has its own rate or the producer is unknown, use the all-others rate of 58.13%. 5. If there are any questions by the importing public regarding this message, please contact the Call Center for the Office of AD/CVD Operations, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce at (202) 482-0984. CBP ports should submit their inquiries through authorized CBP channels only. (This message was generated by OIII: JZ) 6. There are no restrictions on the release of this information.
