China Steel Threaded Rod: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on steel threaded rod from China (A-570-932). Commerce found three companies with shipments under review -- Fastenal Canada, Brother Holding Group Co. Ltd., and Zhejiang Morgan Brother Technology Co. Ltd. -- did not demonstrate independence from state control, assigning them the China-wide AD duty rate of 206%. Commerce will assess AD duties at this rate on subject merchandise from these three companies entered April 1, 2016, through March 31, 2017. A 206% AD duty cash deposit rate takes effect for each of these three companies on Nov. 15.

Commerce also found three companies -- Jiaxing Brother Fastener Co., Ltd. (dba Jiaxing Brother Standard Part Co., Ltd.), as well as RMB Fasteners Ltd. (RMB) and its affiliate IFI & Morgan Ltd. (IFI) -- did not have any shipments to the U.S. during the period of review, so their AD duty rates will not change. Any entries under their case numbers during the period April 1, 2016, through March 31, 2017, will be assessed AD duties at the 206% China-wide rate.
Additionally, for any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except the companies listed above), cash deposit rates will also 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 review period is 04/01/16 - 03/31/17. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1805160017 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
