Taiwan Hangers: Prelim AD Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect
The International Trade Administration made a preliminary affirmative antidumping determination that steel wire garment hangers from the Taiwan (A-583-849) are being, or are likely to be, sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. The ITA found preliminary AD rates of 69.98% to 125.43%, which are effective Aug. 2. CBP is expected to implement these AD cash deposit/bond requirements soon. Pursuant to the ITA's October 2011 final rule, no bond will be accepted in lieu of a cash deposit.

AD Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements
The ITA will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation for all entries of subject merchandise from Taiwan that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after Aug. 2.
The preliminary AD cash deposit rates are as follows:
| Manufacturer/Exporter | Prelim AD Rate |
| Golden Canyon Ltd.1 | 69.98% |
| Taiwan Hanger Manufacturing Co., Ltd.2 | 125.43% |
| All Others | 69.98% |
1The ITA’s questionnaires to mandatory respondent Golden Canyon were returned as undeliverable. As such, the ITA classified it as an “unlocated company” and assigned it the all others rate.
2Mandatory respondent Taiwan Hanger did not respond to the ITA’s questionnaires. As such, the ITA assigned it an adverse facts available (AFA) rate of 125.43%.
(The period of investigation is 10/01/2010-09/30/2011. See ITA’s notice for more information including scope (which is unchanged from the initiation), suspension of liquidation, etc.
