Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the
Act, we will instruct CBP to continue to
suspend liquidation on all entries of
rebar from Mexico. We will also instruct
CBP to require cash deposits at rates
equal to the estimated weighted-average
dumping margins indicated below.
These instructions suspending
liquidation will remain in effect until
further notice.
Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication of the ITC’s final affirmative
injury determination, CBP will require,
at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated duties on
this subject merchandise, a cash deposit
at rates equal to the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins listed below.6
The relevant all-others rate applies to all
producers or exporters not specifically
listed.
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
instructions issued pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months except where exporters
representing a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise
request the Department to extend that
four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of exporters that
account for a significant proportion of
rebar from Mexico, we extended the
four-month period to no more than six

Preliminary Determination in the
underlying investigation on April 24,
2014. Therefore, the six-month period
beginning on the date of publication of
the preliminary determination ended on
October 21, 2014. Furthermore, section
737(b) of the Act states that definitive
duties are to begin on the date of
publication of the ITC’s final injury
determination.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act and our practice, we
will instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of rebar from Mexico, entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after October 21,
2014, the date the provisional measures
expired, until and through the day
preceding the date of publication of the
ITC’s final injury determination in the
Federal Register. Suspension of
liquidation will resume on or after the
date of publication of the ITC’s final
injury determination in the Federal
Register.
