China Cased Pencils: Final Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on cased pencils from China (A-570-827). Commerce found the only company under review, Fila Dixon Stationery (Kunshan) Co., Ltd., did not demonstrate independence from state control, assigning it to the China-wide AD duty rate of 114.9%. Commerce will assess AD duties at this rate on subject merchandise from Kunshan Dixon entered between Dec. 1, 2017, and Nov. 30, 2018. A 114.9% AD duty cash deposit rate for Kunshan Dixon takes effect for each company on March 27.

For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except Kunshan Dixon), 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 review period is 12/01/17 - 11/30/18. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1910090019 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
