19 USC § 1673d - Final determinations
General rule Within 75 days after the date of its preliminary determination under section 1673b
(b) of this title, the administering authority shall make a final determination of whether the subject merchandise is being, or is likely to be, sold in the United States at less than its fair value.
Extension of period for determination The administering authority may postpone making the final determination under paragraph (1) until not later than the 135th day after the date on which it published notice of its preliminary determination under section 1673b
(b) of this title if a request in writing for such a postponement is made by—
exporters who account for a significant proportion of exports of the merchandise which is the subject of the investigation, in a proceeding in which the preliminary determination by the administering authority under section 1673b
(b) of this title was affirmative, or
the petitioner, in a proceeding in which the preliminary determination by the administering authority under section 1673b
(b) of this title was negative.
Critical circumstances determinations If the final determination of the administering authority is affirmative, then that determination, in any investigation in which the presence of critical circumstances has been alleged under section 1673b
(e) of this title, shall also contain a finding of whether—
there is a history of dumping and material injury by reason of dumped imports in the United States or elsewhere of the subject merchandise, or
the person by whom, or for whose account, the merchandise was imported knew or should have known that the exporter was selling the subject merchandise at less than its fair value and that there would be material injury by reason of such sales, and
Such findings may be affirmative even though the preliminary determination under section 1673b
De minimis dumping margin In making a determination under this subsection, the administering authority shall disregard any weighted average dumping margin that is de minimis as defined in section 1673b
Period for injury determination following affirmative preliminary determination by administering authority If the preliminary determination by the administering authority under section 1673b
the 120th day after the day on which the administering authority makes its affirmative preliminary determination under section 1673b
Period for injury determination following negative preliminary determination by administering authority If the preliminary determination by the administering authority under section 1673b
In general.— If the finding of the administering authority under subsection (a)(3) of this section is affirmative, then the final determination of the Commission shall include a finding as to whether the imports subject to the affirmative determination under subsection (a)(3) of this section are likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty order to be issued under section 1673e of this title.
a rapid increase in inventories of the imports, and
any other circumstances indicating that the remedial effect of the antidumping order will be seriously undermined.
If the final determination of the Commission is that there is no material injury but that there is threat of material injury, then its determination shall also include a finding as to whether material injury by reason of the imports of the merchandise with respect to which the administering authority has made an affirmative determination under subsection (a) of this section would have been found but for any suspension of liquidation of entries of the merchandise.
the administering authority shall make available to the Commission all information upon which such determination was based and which the Commission considers relevant to its determination, under such procedures as the administering authority and the Commission may establish to prevent disclosure, other than with the consent of the party providing it or under protective order, of any information as to which confidential treatment has been given by the administering authority,
determine the estimated weighted average dumping margin for each exporter and producer individually investigated, and
determine, in accordance with paragraph (5), the estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually investigated, and
the administering authority shall order the posting of a cash deposit, bond, or other security, as the administering authority deems appropriate, for each entry of the subject merchandise in an amount based on the estimated weighted average dumping margin or the estimated all-others rate, whichever is applicable, and
in cases where the preliminary determination by the administering authority under section 1673b
(b) of this title was negative, the administering authority shall order the suspension of liquidation under section 1673b
Issuance of order; effect of negative determination If the determinations of the administering authority and the Commission under subsections (a)(1) and (b)(1) of this section are affirmative, then the administering authority shall issue an antidumping duty order under section 1673e
terminate the suspension of liquidation under section 1673b
release any bond or other security, and refund any cash deposit, required under section 1673b
Effect of negative determinations under subsections (a)(3) and (b)(4)(A) of this section If the determination of the administering authority or the Commission under subsection (a)(3) or (b)(4)(A) of this section, respectively, is negative, then the administering authority shall—
terminate any retroactive suspension of liquidation required under paragraph (4) or section 1673b
release any bond or other security, and refund any cash deposit required, under section 1673b
(d)(1)(B) of this title with respect to entries of the merchandise the liquidation of which was suspended retroactively under section 1673b
Effect of affirmative determination under subsection (a)(3) of this section If the determination of the administering authority under subsection (a)(3) of this section is affirmative, then the administering authority shall—
in cases where the preliminary determinations by the administering authority under sections 1673b
(b) and 1673b
(e)(1) of this title were both affirmative, continue the retroactive suspension of liquidation and the posting of a cash deposit, bond, or other security previously ordered under section 1673b
(b) of this title was affirmative, but the preliminary determination under section 1673b
(e)(1) of this title was negative, shall modify any suspension of liquidation and security requirement previously ordered under section 1673b
Method for determining estimated all-others rate (A)
General rule For purposes of this subsection and section 1673b
(d) of this title, the estimated all-others rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely under section 1677e of this title.
Exception If the estimated weighted average dumping margins established for all exporters and producers individually investigated are zero or de minimis margins, or are determined entirely under section 1677e of this title, the administering authority may use any reasonable method to establish the estimated all-others rate for exporters and producers not individually investigated, including averaging the estimated weighted average dumping margins determined for the exporters and producers individually investigated.
