New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect April 25
For entries on or after April 25, 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 |
|---|---|
| T.T. International Co., Ltd. | 285.73% |
| Shandong Huaan New Material Co., Ltd.* | 285.73% |
| Zhejiang Sanmei Chemical Industry Co. Ltd.* | 285.73% |
| Jinhua Yonghe Fluorochemical Co., Ltd.* | 285.73% |
*This company was not selected as a mandatory respondent but is subject to this administrative review and demonstrated that it qualified for a separate rate during the period of review.
China-wide. Commerce found six companies 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 216.37%: Arkema Daikin Advanced Fluorochemicals (Changsu) Co., Ltd.; Dongyang Weihua Refrigerants Co., Ltd.; Sinochem Environmental Protection Chemicals (Taicang) Co., Ltd.; Weitron International Refrigeration Equipment (Kunshan) Co., Ltd.; Zhejiang Lantian Environmental Protection Fluoro Material Co. Ltd.; and Zhejiang Quzhou Lianzhou Refrigerants Co., Ltd.
No shipments. Commerce found Daikin Fluorochemicals (China) Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Yonghe Refrigerant 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 216.37% China-wide rate.
Assessment Rates for Entries February 2016 - July 2017
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 Feb. 1, 2016, and July 31, 2017. Commerce will liquidate entries from TTI 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 02/01/16 - 07/31/17. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1809100021 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
