New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect July 19
For entries on or after July 19, 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) |
|---|---|
| Fine Furniture (Shanghai) Limited | 17.37% |
| Dalian Penghong Floor Products Co., Ltd./ Dalian Shumaike Floor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. | zero |
| Average rate (applicable to nearly 100 companies) | 17.37% |
Average rate. Commerce only calculated individual rates for Fine Furniture and Dalian Floor, assigning another 95 companies under review a rate of 17.37%.
No shipments. Commerce found the following companies had no exports to the U.S. during the period of review, so these companies' rates will not change: Changbai Mountain Development and Protection Zone Hongtu Wood Industrial Co., Ltd.; Dalian T-Boom Wood Products Co., Ltd.; Hangzhou Zhengtian Industrial Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Guyu International Trading Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Mingle Flooring Co., Ltd.; Linyi Bonn Flooring Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Eswell Timber Co., Ltd.; Shenyang Senwang Wooden Industry Co., Ltd.; Tongxiang Jisheng Import and Export Co., Ltd.; and Zhejiang Fuerjia Wooden Co., Ltd.
Assessment Rates for Entries December 2013 - November 2014
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 Dec. 1, 2013, and Nov. 30, 2014. Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates for entries exported by Fine Furniture during the period of review. Commerce will assess AD duties at 17.37% for the 95 average rate companies, and at 25.62% for any entries under the case numbers of companies that purported to have no shipments.
For Dalian Floor, which merged into a single entity part-way through the period of review, Commerce will liquidate without assessing AD duties any entries after the merger (i.e., April 1, 2014, through Nov. 30, 2014). For entries before the merger (i.e., Dec. 1, 2013, through March 31, 2014), Commerce will liquidate entries from Dalian Penghong without assessing AD duties, and will assess AD duties on entries from Dalian Shumaike at 17.37%.
(The review period is 12/01/13 -- 11/30/14. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1601080012 for summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
