Commerce is ending this review for Zhengzhou Harmoni Spice Co., Ltd., and Jinxiang Jinma Fruits Vegetables Products Co., Ltd., without any change to their AD rates. Any subject merchandise from these two exporters entered during the period Nov. 1, 2014, through Oct. 31, 2015, will be liquidated "as entered" at the rate in effect at the time of entry. Commerce ruled the request for review of Harmoni and Jinxiang was invalid, in part because the New Mexico garlic farmers that requested the review of Harmoni and Jinxiang were actually in league with other Chinese exporters, the agency said.
New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect June 14
For entries on or after June 14, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates. For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except those listed below), 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 new rates are as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Shenzhen Xinboda Industrial Co., Ltd. | $2.27/kg |
| Jinan Farmlady Trading Co., Ltd. | $2.27/kg |
| Jining Alpha Food Co., Ltd. | $2.27/kg |
| Shandong Jinxiang Zhengyang Import & Export Co., Ltd. | $2.27/kg |
| Shenzhen Bainong Co., Ltd. | $2.27/kg |
| Weifang Hongqiao International Logistics Co., Ltd. | $2.27/kg |
| China-wide rate | $4.71/kg |
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:Jining Yifa Garlic Produce Co., Ltd.; Jining Shengtai Fruits & Vegetables Co., Ltd.; Jining Shunchang Import & Export Co., Ltd.; Jinxiang Guihua Food Co., Ltd.; Jinxiang Richfar Fruits & Vegetables Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Maycarrier Import & Export Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Sea-Line International Trading Co., Ltd.; Shandong Chenhe International Trading Co., Ltd.; Shijiazhuang Goodman Trading Co., Ltd.; and Yantai Jinyan Trading, Inc. Any entries under these companies' case numbers will be assessed duties at the $4.71/kg China-wide rate.
China-wide. Commerce found the following companies did not cooperate with the review, and assigned them to the China-wide entity with a rate of $4.71/kg: Jining Yongjia Trade Co., Ltd.; Jinxiang Hejia Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Tiantaixing Foods Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Tianhefeng Foods Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Beixing Trading Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Lianghe International Trade Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Xintianfeng Foods Co., Ltd.; Hebei Golden Bird Trading Co., Ltd.; Huamei Consulting; Shandong Zhifeng Foodstuffs Co., Ltd.; and Zhong Lian Farming Product (Qingdao) Co., Ltd.
Assessment Rates for Entries November 2014 - October 2015
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to set assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise for entries between Nov. 1, 2014, and Oct. 31, 2015. Commerce will liquidate entries from Bosun during that period at importer-specific rates. Entries from the other companies under review will be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The review period is 11/01/14 -- 10/31/15. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1612120017 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
