New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect June 15
For entries on or after June 15, 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 |
|---|---|
| Shandong Jinxiang Zhengyang Import & Export Co., Ltd. | $2.69/kg |
| Jining Shunchang Import & Export Co., Ltd. | $2.69/kg |
| Jinxiang Feiteng Import & Export Co., Ltd. | $2.69/kg |
| Qingdao Sea-Line International Trading Co., Ltd. | $2.69/kg |
| 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.; and Huamei Consulting | $2.69/kg |
| Shenzhen Bainong Co., Ltd. | $2.69/kg |
| Shenzhen Xinboda Industrial Co., Ltd. | $2.69/kg |
| Weifang Hongqiao International Logistics Co., Ltd. | $2.69/kg |
| Zhengzhou Yudi Shengjin Agricultural Trade Co., Ltd.* | $3.19/kg |
*This rate, set in Commerce's new shipper review, applies only to subject merchandise both produced and exported by Zhengzhou Yudi Shengjin Agricultural Trade Co., Ltd.
China-wide. Commerce said the following companies did not cooperate with the review, and assigned them to the China-wide entity with a rate of $4.71: China Union Agri. (Qingdao) Co., Ltd.; Juxian Huateng Organic Ginger Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Jiashan Trading Co., Ltd.; Shandong Helu International Trade Co., Ltd.; Weifang Wangyuan Food Co., Ltd.; and Zhengzhou Yudishengjin Farm Products Co., Ltd. Commerce also found a respondent to its new shipper review, the related companies Qingdao Joinseafoods Co., Ltd. and Join Food Ingredient Inc., did not cooperate, rescinding their new shipper review and continuing to be subject to the $4.71 China-wide rate.
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: Jinan Farmlady Trading Co., Ltd.; Jining Shengtai Fruits & Vegetables Co., Ltd.; Jining Yifa Garlic Produce Co., Ltd.; Jinxiang Richfar Fruits & Vegetables Co., Ltd.; and Shijiazhuang Goodman Trading Co., Ltd. Any entries during the period of review under their case numbers will be assessed AD duties at the $4.71/kg China-wide rate.
Partial rescission. In these final results, Commerce is ending the review with no changes to AD duty rates for seven companies, including Harmoni, for which the agency found a domestic producer's request for review was not valid. These companies are as follows: Jinxiang Jinma Fruits Vegetables Products Co., Ltd.; Juxian Huateng Food Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Hailize (Sea-Line) International Trading Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Jiuyihongrun Foods Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Ritai Food Co., Ltd.; Zhengzhou Harmoni Spice Co., Ltd.; and Zhonglian Nongchan Co., Ltd.
Assessment Rates for Entries November 2015 - October 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 Nov. 1, 2015, and Oct. 31, 2016. Commerce will liquidate entries during that period from Zhengyang at importer-specific rates. The agency will liquidate entries during that period from other exporters subject to this review at the rates listed above.
(The review period is 11/01/15 - 10/31/16. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1712070025 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
