The review examines whether subsidies would likely continue if the duty order were revoked, and it found that such subsidies would likely recur. The findings and related discussions are detailed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is available for public access online.

As a result, the current cash deposit rates for duties will remain unchanged. This decision was made because there were no goods to assess during the review period, so the review is being fully rescinded.
