The Catfish Farmers of America (CFA), which represents U.S. catfish farmers, requested that the 27 firms be withdrawn from the review process Monday, which means that the past year's imports from those firms will be assessed duties at the cash deposit rate that applied that applied to those firms under the DOC ruling.
Under U.S. law, importers of product under an antidumping order must post a cash deposit based on antidumping rates established by the DOC. If importers, producers or domestic competitors believe that higher or lower duty rates should be applied, any of those parties can request that DOC review their antidumping rates over the period under review.
