China Crawfish Tail Meat: Final Results of AD Admin Review and New Shipper Review
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review and new shipper review on freshwater crawfish tail meat from China (A-570-848). Commerce determined five companies in the administrative review -- Hubei Nature Agriculture Industry Co., Ltd.; Weishan Hongda Aquatic Food Co., Ltd.; Xiping Opeck Food Co., Ltd.; Xuzhou Jinjiang Foodstuffs Co., Ltd.; and Yancheng Hi-King Agriculture Developing Co., Ltd. -- did not undersell subject merchandise during the period of review, assigning each a zero percent AD duty rate.

In the new shipper review, Commerce also calculated zero percent AD rates for subject merchandise produced and exported by Anhui Luan Hongyuan Foodstuffs Co., Ltd., and subject merchandise produced by Kunshan Xinrui Trading Co., Ltd. and exported by Leping Yongle Food Co., Ltd.
Subject merchandise from these seven companies entered Sept. 1, 2016, through Aug. 31, 2017, will be liquidated without any assessment of AD duties, and future entries of subject merchandise from these seven companies will not be subject to AD duty cash deposit requirements until further notice. Changes to cash deposit rates from these final results take effect Feb. 7.
Commerce also found another three companies -- China Kingdom (Beijing) Import & Export Co., Ltd., Hubei Qianjiang Huashan Aquatic Food and Product Co., Ltd., and Nanjing Gemsen International 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 three companies will not change, and any entries during the period of review reported under their case numbers will be assessed duties at the 223.01% China-wide rate.
For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the 10 companies listed above), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. 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 of 223.01%.
(The review period is 09/01/16 - 08/31/17. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1810160024 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
