New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect July 12

For entries on or after July 12, 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:

ExporterAD Rate
Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd./ Trina Solar (Changzhou) Science and Technology Co., Ltd./Yancheng Trina Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd./Changzhou Trina Solar Yabang Energy Co., Ltd./Turpan Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd./Hubei Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd.9.61%
BYD (Shangluo) Industrial Co., Ltd.9.61%
Chint Solar (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd9.61%
Hefei JA Solar Technology Co., Ltd.9.61%
Perlight Solar Co., Ltd.9.61%
Shenzhen Sungold Solar Co., Ltd.9.61%
Sunny Apex Development Ltd.9.61%
Wuxi Suntech Power Co., Ltd.9.61%

No shipments. Commerce found JA Solar Technology Co., Ltd., had no exports to the U.S. during the period of review, so its AD rate will not change. Any entries under JA Solar's case number will be assessed duties at the 165.04% China-wide rate.

Assessment Rates for Entries July 2014 - January 2016

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 July 31, 2014, and Jan. 31, 2016. Commerce will liquidate entries from Trina and its affiliates 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 07/31/14 -- 01/31/16. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, and detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1703060033 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
