China Graphite Electrodes: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on small diameter graphite electrodes from China (A-533-929) (here). Commerce found all companies under review -- the Fangda Group, Fushun Jinly Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd., and Jilin Carbon Import and Export Company -- had no shipments of subject merchandise to the U.S. during the period of review. As such, AD cash deposit rates for these three companies will remain at the rates set for each company in the most recently completed proceeding (i.e., the original final determination or a prior administrative review).

Because Commerce found that Fangda, Fushin Jinly and Jilin Carbon had no shipments of subject merchandise during the period under review, any suspended entries that entered under these companies' antidumping duty case numbers during the period Feb. 1, 2015, through Jan. 31, 2016, will be assessed AD duties at the 159.64% China-wide rate, it said.
For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except the three companies listed above), cash deposit rates will also remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the China-wide rate applies.
(The review period is 02/01/15 -- 01/31/16. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1610200011 for a summary of the preliminary results.)
