New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect March 16
For entries on or after March 16, 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:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Stanley Works (Langfang) Fastening Systems Co., Ltd. and Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. | 11.95% |
| Average rate companies | 11.95% |
| China-wide rate | 118.04% |
Average rate. Commerce found 21 companies demonstrated independence from state control and eligibility for a separate rate, but only individually reviewed Stanley. Commerce assigned the other 20 companies Stanley's rate, as follows: Chiieh Yung Metal Ind. Corp.; Dezhou Hualude Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Hebei Cangzhou New Century Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.; Nanjing Caiqing Hardware Co., Ltd.; Qingdao D&L Group Ltd.; SDC International Aust. PTY. Ltd.; Shandong Dinglong Import & Export Co., Ltd; Shanghai Curvet Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Yueda Nails Industry Co., Ltd; Shanxi Hairui Trade Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Pioneer Hardware Industrial Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Tianli Industries Co., Ltd.; S-Mart (Tianjin) Technology Development Co., Ltd.; Suntec Industries Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Jinghai County Hongli Industry & Business Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Lianda Group Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Universal Machinery Imp. & Exp. Corporation; Tianjin Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd.; and Xi’an Metals & Minerals Import & Export Co., Ltd.
China-wide rate. Companies subject to the China-wide rate include, among others, Shandong Oriental Cherry Hardware Group Co., Ltd.
No shipments. Commerce found the following companies 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 each company: Besco Machinery Industry (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd.; Certified Products International Inc.; Huanghua Jinhai Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Huanghua Xionghua Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Nanjing Yuechang Hardware Co., Ltd.; PT Enterprise Inc.; Qingdao Jisco Co., Ltd. and Jisco Corporation; Shanghai Jade Shuttle Hardware Tools Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Tengyu Hardware Tools Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Yuci Broad Wire Products Co., Ltd.; and Zhejiang Gem-Chun Hardware Accessory Co., Ltd.
Assessment Rates For Entries August 2013 - July 2014
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 Aug. 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014. The agency will calculate importer-specific assessment rates for entries of subject merchandise from Stanley. Entries from the "average rate" exporters and China-wide companies will be assessed AD duties at the rates listed above, 11.95% and 118.14%, respectively. Any shipments entered under case numbers for the "no shipments" companies will be liquidated at the 118.14% China-wide rate.
(The review period is 08/01/12 -- 10/31/13. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1509030019 for summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
