New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect March 16
For entries on or after March 16, 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 |
|---|---|
| Stanley Works (Langfang) Fastening Systems Co., Ltd. and Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. | 5.98% |
| Review Average Rate (applicable to 22 companies) | 5.98% |
Review average rate. The 5.98% review average rate applies to the following companies that demonstrated independence from state control but were not individually reviewed: Dezhou Hualude Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Hebei Cangzhou New Century Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.; Hebei Minmetals Co., Ltd.; Nanjing CAIQING Hardware Co., Ltd.; Nanjing Toua Hardware & Tools Co., Ltd.; Qingdao D&L Group Ltd.; SDC International Aust. PTY. LTD.; Shandong Dinglong Import & Export Co., Ltd.; Shandong Oriental Cherry Hardware Group Co., Ltd.; Shandong Qingyun Hongyi Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Curvet Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Yueda Nails Industry Co., Ltd. a.k.a. Shanghai Yueda; Shanxi Hairui Trade Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Pioneer Hardware Industrial Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Tianli Industries Co., Ltd.; Suntec Industries Co., Ltd.; S-Mart (Tianjin) Technology Development Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Jinghai County Hongli Industry & Business Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Universal Machinery Imp. & Exp. Corporation; Tianjin Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd.; and Xi'an Metals & Minerals Import & Export Co., Ltd.
China-wide. Commerce said Tianjin Lianda Group Co., Ltd., Aironware (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Certified Products Taiwan Inc., Chiieh Yung Metal Ind. Corp., Faithful Engineering Products Co., Ltd., and Huanghua Xionghua Hardware Products Co., Ltd. did not demonstrate independence from state control, or otherwise did not respond to Commerce Department questionnaires, and assigned these companies to the China-wide entity with a rate of 118.04%.
No shipments. Commerce found Mingguan Ruifeng Hardware Products Co., Ltd. and Shandong Oriental Cherry Hardware Import & Export Co., Ltd. did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review. The cash deposit rates currently in effect for these two companies will not change, and any entries during the period of review reported under their case numbers will be assessed duties at the 118.04% China-wide rate.
Assessment Rates for Entries August 2015 - July 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 Aug. 1, 2015, and July 31, 2016. Commerce will liquidate entries from Stanley 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 08/01/15 - 07/31/16. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1709070015 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
