China Cased Pencils: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on cased pencils from China (A-570-827) (here). Commerce found the only exporter under review -- Shandong Rongxin Import & Export Co., Ltd. -- did not demonstrate independence from state control, assigning it the China-wide AD duty rate of 114.9%. Commerce will assess AD duties at this rate on subject merchandise exported by Shandong Rongxin and entered between Dec. 1, 2014, and Nov. 30, 2015. A 114.9% AD duty cash deposit rate takes effect May 30 for subject merchandise exported by Shandong Rongxin.

For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except Shandong Rongxin), cash deposit rates will 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 12/01/14 -- 11/30/15. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1611180031 for the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
