China Crawfish Tailmeat: Final Results of AD Admin Review and New Shipper Review
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review and a concurrent new shipper review on freshwater crawfish tail meat from China (A-570-848). The agency determined that all four companies under review did not dump subject merchandise, so it will not require AD duty cash deposits for these companies until further notice and will liquidate entries from these companies between September 2011 and August 2012 without requiring any AD duties. New AD rates set in this review will take effect April 25.

New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect April 25
For entries on or after April 25, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates. Companies that didn't get a rate in this review will continue to get the cash deposit rate set in the most recent previous administrative review, and companies that have never been assigned an AD rate will get the China-wide rate of 223.01%. Companies that get a zero percent AD duty rate will not be subject to cash deposit requirements. The new rates are as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Nanjing Gemsen International Co., Ltd. | zero |
| Xiping Opeck Food Co., Ltd. | zero |
| Yancheng Hi-King Agriculture Developing Co., Ltd.1 | zero |
In its concurrent new shipper review, Commerce is also setting a new AD cash deposit rate for subject merchandise both produced and exported by Deyan Aquatic. Commerce calculated a zero AD duty rate, so subject merchandise both produced and exported by Deyan Aquatic will not be subject to AD duty cash deposit requirements until further notice:
| Manufacturer | Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Deyan Aquatic Products and Food Co., Ltd. | Deyan Aquatic Products and Food Co., Ltd. | zero |
No shipments companies. Commerce said some companies would have been reviewed, but demonstrated that they had no shipments of frozen fish fillets to the U.S. during the period under review. As such, subject merchandise from these companies will continue to enter at AD cash deposit rates set in the most recent previous review: China Kingdom (Beijing) Import & Export Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Ocean Flavor International Trading Co., Ltd.; and Xuzhou Jinjiang Foodstuffs Co., Ltd.

Assessment Rates For Entries September 2011 - August 2012
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to calculate assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise for entries between Sept. 1, 2011 and Aug. 31, 2012. Because all companies under review got zero AD duty rates, no duties will be assessed on entries from these companies during the period under review.
(The review period is 09/01/11 -- 08/31/12. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 13100221 for summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
