New Cash Deposit Rates Took Effect June 14
For entries on or after June 14, 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 |
|---|---|
| Jiangsu Fengtai Diamond Tool Manufacture Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Fengtai Tools Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Sawing Co., Ltd. | 61.48% |
| Weihai Xiangguang Mechanical Industrial Co., Ltd. | 21.67% |
| Average rate for 22 companies* | 29.76% |
Average rate. Commerce assigned 22 companies that demonstrated independence from Chinese government control, but were not under individual review, an average rate of 29.76%.
China-wide rate. Companies subject to the China-wide rate of 82.05% include, among others, Advanced Technology & Materials Co., Ltd., AT&M International Trading Co., Ltd., Beijing Gang Yan Diamond Products Co., Cliff International Ltd., and HXF Saw Co., Ltd. See Commerce's notice for the full list of approximately 30 companies.
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: Danyang City Ou Di Ma Tools Co., Ltd., Danyang Tsunda Diamond Tools Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Kingburg Import & Export Co., Ltd., Qingdao Hyosung Diamond Tools Co., Ltd., Qingdao Shinhan Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Starcraft Tools Co., Ltd.
Assessment Rates For Entries November 2013 - October 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 Nov. 1, 2013, through Oct. 31, 2014. The agency will calculate importer-specific assessment rates for entries of subject merchandise from Jiangsu Fengtai and its affiliates, and Weihai Xiangguang. Entries from the "average rate" exporters and China-wide companies will be assessed AD duties at the rates listed above, 29.76% and 82.05%, respectively. Any shipments entered under case numbers for the "no shipments" companies will be liquidated at the 82.05% China-wide rate.
(The review period is 11/01/13 -- 10/31/14. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1512030024 for summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
