On September 30, the Dept. of Commerce announced the preliminary find that Mexican, Chinese and Korean producers/exporters have sold subject merchandise in the U.S. market at less than fair value, with margins ranging from 14.93% to 31.34% for Mexico, a margin of 73.17% for the PRC, and margins ranging from 1.19% (de minimis) to 6.49% for Korea.
Upon the publication of the preliminary determinations in the Federal Register, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will begin to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise and collect a bond or cash deposit based on the margins above de minimis in the Department's preliminary determinations.
