New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect June 8

For entries on or after June 8, 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. The new rates are as follows:

ExporterAD Rate
Bosun Tools Co., Ltd.1.51%
Weihai Xiangguang Mechanical Industrial Co., Ltd.3.35%
Average rate companies2.34%
China-wide rate82.05%

Average rate. Commerce found 26 companies demonstrated independence from state control and eligibility for a separate rate, but only individually reviewed Bosun and Weihai. Commerce assigned the other 24 companies an average of Bosun and Weihai's rates, as follows: Chengdu Huifeng Diamond Tools Co., Ltd.; Danyang City Ou Di Ma Tools Co., Ltd.; Danyang Huachang Diamond Tools Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; Danyang NYCL Tools Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; Danyang Tsunda Diamond Tools Co., Ltd.; Danyang Weiwang Tools Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; Guilin Tebon Superhard Material Co., Ltd.; Hangzhou Deer King Industrial and Trading Co., Ltd.; Hangzhou Kingburg Import & Export Co., Ltd.; Huzhou Gu’s Import & Export Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Fengtai Diamond Tool Manufacture Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Inter-China Group Corporation; Jiangsu Youhe Tool Manufacturer Co., Ltd.; Pujiang Talent Diamond Tools Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Hyosung Diamond Tools Co., Ltd.; Qingyuan Shangtai Diamond Tools Co., Ltd.; Quanzhou Zhongzhi Diamond Tool Co.

Trade Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Starcraft Tools Company Limited; Wuhan Wanbang Laser Diamond Tools Co.; Xiamen ZL Diamond Technology Co., Ltd.; and Zhejiang Wanli Tools Group Co., Ltd.

China-wide rate. Companies subject to the China-wide rate include, among others, Central Iron and Steel Research Institute Group, China Iron and Steel Research Institute Group, Danyang Aurui Hardware Products Co., Ltd., Danyang Dida Diamond Tools Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Electrolux Construction Products (Xiamen) Co. Ltd., Fujian Quanzhou Wanlong Stone Co., Ltd., Hebei Jikai Industrial Group Co., Ltd., Huachang Diamond Tools Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Hua Da Superabrasive Tools Technology Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Fengyu Tools Co., Ltd., Jiangyin Likn Industry Co., Ltd., Protech Diamond Tools, Quanzhou Shuangyang Diamond Tools Co., Ltd., Quanzhou Zongzhi Diamond Tool Co.

(currently HXF Saw Co., Ltd.), Cliff (Tianjin) International Ltd, and AT&M International Trading Co., Ltd.

No shipments. Commerce found Qingdao Shinhan Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd. had no exports to the U.S. during the period of review, so the company's AD duty rate will remain at the most recent rate set for the company.

Assessment Rates For Entries November 2012 - October 2013

Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to calculate assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise from companies under review for entries from Nov. 1, 2012 through Oct 31, 2013. The agency will calculate importer-specific assessment rates for entries of subject merchandise from Bosun and Weihai. Entries from the "average rate" exporters and China-wide companies will be assessed AD duties at the rates listed above, 2.34% and 82.05%, respectively.

(The review period is 11/01/12 -- 10/31/13. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1412030011 for summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
