New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Nov. 25
For entries on or after Nov. 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 (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Deosen Biochemical Ltd./Deosen Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd. | zero |
| Meihua Group International Trading (Hong Kong) Limited/Langfang Meihua Biotechnology Co., Ltd./Xinjiang Meihua Amino Acid Co., Ltd. | zero |
| CP Kelco (Shandong) Biological Company Limited | zero |
China-wide entity rate. Commerce said Hebei Xinhe Biochemical Co., Ltd. and A.H.A. International Co., Ltd. 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 154.07%.
No shipments. Commerce found Shanghai Smart Chemicals Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Smart); Jianlong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Jianlong); and Inner Mongolia Jianlong Biochemical Co., Ltd. (IMJ) did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review. The cash deposit rates currently in effect for Shanghai Smart, Jianlong and IMJ will not change, and any entries during the period of review reported to be from these three companies will be assessed duties at the China-wide rate.
Assessment Rates for Entries July 2017 - June 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 July 1, 2017, and June 30, 2018. Commerce will liquidate entries during that period without payment of AD duties for the companies assigned a zero rate in this review. Entries from the China-wide companies will be liquidated at the 154.07% China-wide rate, as will any entries under the case numbers of the companies that purported to have no shipments.
(The review period is 07/01/17 - 06/30/18. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1906070045 for the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
