The companies Rummo and its subsidiary, Pasta Castiglioni, have been removed from this review following their request, with no other parties requesting to continue the review for them. The review will still proceed for other companies, and the Commerce Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection on how to handle duties for these firms. Importers are reminded to file necessary certificates to avoid doubled duties, and parties involved must manage proprietary information according to regulations.
