New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Dec. 3
For entries on or after Dec. 3, the date these final results are scheduled for publication in the Federal Register, 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 |
|---|---|
| Dalian Qianqiu Wooden Product Co., Ltd./Fusong Jinlong Wooden Group Co., Ltd./Fusong Jinqiu Wooden Product Co., Ltd./Fusong Qianqiu Wooden Product Co., Ltd. (aka the Fusong Jinlong Group) | zero |
| Jiangsu Guyu International Trade Co., Ltd. | zero |
| Review average rate (applicable to 54 companies) | zero |
In its concurrent new shipper review, Commerce preliminarily calculated a zero percent AD duty rate for subject merchandise both produced and exported by the following companies:
| Exporter | Producer | AD Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Muchsee Wood (Chuzhou) Co., Ltd. | Muchsee Wood (Chuzhou) Co., Ltd. | zero |
Review average rate. The zero percent review average rate applies to 54 companies that demonstrated independence from state control but were not individually reviewed. See Commerce's notice for a full list.
No shipments. Commerce found 22 companies did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review. The cash deposit rates currently in effect for these companies will not change, and any entries reported to be from these companies will be assessed duties at the China-wide rate. See Commerce's notice for a full list.
China-wide entity. Commerce preliminarily found 17 companies did not demonstrate independence from state control and are part of the China-wide entity, with a rate of 85.13%. See Commerce's notice for a full list.
Assessment Rates for Entries December 2017 - November 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 Dec. 1, 2017, and Nov. 30, 2018. Commerce will liquidate entries during that period without payment of AD duties for the 57 companies assigned a zero rate in these reviews. Entries from the China-wide companies will be liquidated at the 85.13% China-wide rate, as will any entries under the case numbers of the companies that purported to have no shipments.
(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 2002050029 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.
