New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect April 13

For entries on or after April 13, 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 "all others" rate. New rates set in Commerce's administrative review are as follows:

Producer/ExporterAD Rate
China Kingdom (Beijing) Import & Export Co., Ltd.22.16%
Deyan Aquatic Products and Food Co., Ltd.12.04%
Shanghai Ocean Flavor International Trading Co., Ltd.17.23%

Commerce also set new rates for two companies in concurrent new shipper reviews. The following cash deposit requirements take effect April 13 for subject merchandise both produced and exported by each of the following companies:

Producer/ExporterAD Rate
Yuesheng Aquatic Products Co., Ltd.42.45%
Weishan Hongda Aquatic Food Co., Ltd.26.1%

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 Sept. 1, 2013 through Aug. 31, 2014. The agency said it will calculate importer-specific assessment rates.

(The review period is 09/01/13 -- 08/31/14. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1510060017 for summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
