New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Aug. 6
For entries on or after Aug. 6, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates for some companies. 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. The new rates are as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| KaiPing Dawn Plumbing Products, Inc. | 1.78% |
| Guangong New Shichu Import and Export Company Limited | 1.78% |
| Elkay (China) Kitchen Solutions Co., Ltd | 1.78% |
| B&R Industries Limited | 1.78% |
No shipments. Commerce found two companies -- Zhuhai KOHLER Kitchen & Bathroom Products Co., Ltd. and Yuyao Afa Kitchenware Co., Ltd. -- had no exports to the U.S. during the period of review, so their AD duty cash deposit rates will not change. Any entries under their case numbers during the period of review will be liquidated at the 76.45% China-wide rate.
China-wide. Commerce found seven companies did not demonstrate independence from Chinese government control, assigning them to the China-wide entity with an AD rate of 76.45%, as follows: Feidong Import and Export Co., Ltd.; Xinhe Stainless Steel Products Co., Ltd.; Jiangmen New Star Hi-Tech Enterprise Ltd.; Ningbo Afa Kitchen and Bath Co., Ltd.; Guangdong G-Top Import & Export Co., Ltd.; Jiangmen Pioneer Import & Export Co., Ltd.; and Zhongshan Superte Kitchenware Co., Ltd.
Assessment Rates for Entries April 2017 - March 2018
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 April 1, 2017, and March 31, 2018. Entries from all exporters covered by this review will be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The review period is 04/01/17 - 03/31/18. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1812270005 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
