New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Feb. 14
For entries on or after Feb. 14, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates for some companies. Exporters that didn't get a rate in this review will continue to get the cash deposit rate set for the respective company in the most recent previous administrative review, and exporters that have never been assigned an AD rate will continue to be subject to the China-wide rate. The new rates are as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Deosen Biochemical Ltd./Deosen Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd. | 9.3% |
| Neimenggu Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd. (aka Inner Mongolia Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd.)/Shandong Fufeng Fermentation Co., Ltd./Xinjiang Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd | zero |
| CP Kelco (Shandong) Biological Company Limited | 9.3% |
| Jianlong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (aka Inner Mongolia Jianlong Biochemical Co., Ltd.) | 9.3% |
| Meihua Group International Trading (Hong Kong) Limited/ Langfang Meihua Bio-Technology Co., Ltd./Xinjiang Meihua Amino Acid Co., Ltd. | 9.3% |
| Shanghai Smart Chemicals Co., Ltd | 9.3% |
No shipments. Commerce found A.H.A. International Co., Ltd. had no exports to the U.S. during the period of review, so its AD duty cash deposit rate will not change. Any entries under its case number during the period of review will be liquidated at the 154.07% China-wide rate.
Assessment Rates for Entries July 2015 - June 2016
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 July 1, 2015, and June 30, 2016. Entries from Fufeng will be liquidated without regard to AD duties. Commerce will calculate importer-specific rates for entries from Deosen. Entries from all other exporters covered by this review will be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The review period is 07/01/15 - 06/30/16. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1708080025 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
