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) (here). The agency determined that both 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 2012 and August 2013 without payment of AD duties.

New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Dec. 18
For entries on or after Dec. 18, 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 |
|---|---|
| Xiping Opeck Food Co., Ltd. | 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 Hubei Nature. Commerce calculated a zero percent AD duty rate, so subject merchandise both produced and exported by Hubei Nature will not be subject to AD duty cash deposit requirements until further notice:
| Producer | Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Hubei Nature Agriculture Industry Co., Ltd. | Hubei Nature Agriculture Industry Co., Ltd. | zero |
Assessment Rates For Entries September 2012 - August 2013
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, 2012 and Aug. 31, 2013. 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 09/01/12 -- 08/31/13. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 14100315 for summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
