New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect June 22
For entries on or after June 22, 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 (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| A Foods 1991 Co., Limited/ May Ao Foods Co., Ltd. | 1.36% |
| Thai Union Frozen Products Public Co., Ltd./ Thai Union Seafood Co., Ltd./ Pakfood Public Company Limited/ Okeanos Food Co., Ltd./ Okeanos Co. Ltd./ Asia Pacific (Thailand) Co., Ltd.,/ Chaophraya Cold Storage Co. Ltd./ Takzin Samut Co. Ltd. | zero |
| Average rate (applicable to 157 companies) | 1.36% |
Average rate. Commerce only calculated individual rates to May Ao Foods and Thai Union, assigning another 157 companies under review a rate of 1.36%.
No shipments. Commerce found Gallant Ocean (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Marine Gold Products Ltd., Thai Union Manufacturing Company Limited and Lucky Union Foods Co., Ltd. had no exports to the U.S. during the period of review, so these companies' rates will not change.
Assessment Rates for Entries February 2014 - January 2015
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 Feb. 1, 2014, and Jan, 31, 2015. Commerce will not assess AD duties on importers of entries exported by Thai Union. For entries exported by May Ao, Commerce is calculating importer-specific AD duty rates. Commerce will assess AD duties at the rates listed above for the 157 average rate companies.
(The review period is 02/01/14 -- 01/31/15. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1603090036 for summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
