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-570-043). 2. Effective 11/14/2016, provisional measures in the companion CVD proceeding expired, and as a result, suspension of liquidation was discontinued in that case (see message number 6320305, dated 11/15/2016). Therefore, effective 11/14/2016, 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 Accordingly, for shipments of subject merchandise from the producer/exporter combinations listed below, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 11/14/2016 (the day provisional measures expired in the companion CVD investigation), CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the following dumping margins: Exporter: Taiyuan Ridetaixing Precision Stainless Steel Incorporated Co., Ltd.

For all other entries of subject merchandise, the following cash deposit instructions apply: A. For all PRC exporter/producer combinations of the subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of 76.64%. B. For all non-PRC exporters of the subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter/producer combination that supplied that non-PRC exporter. 5.
