China Magnesia Carbon Bricks: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on magnesia carbon bricks from China (A-570-954). Commerce found 16 companies did not demonstrate independence from state control, assigning them the China-wide AD duty rate of 236%. Commerce will assess AD duties at this rate on subject merchandise from these 16 companies entered Sept. 1, 2018, through Aug. 31, 2019. A 236% AD duty cash deposit rate takes effect for each of these 16 companies on Jan. 21, the date these final results are set for publication in the Federal Register.

Ltd.; Yingkou Heping Samwha Minerals, Co., Ltd.; and Yingkou Heping Sanhua Materials Co., Ltd.
Commerce also found Fedmet Resources Corporation did not have any shipments to the U.S. during the period of review, so its AD duty rate will not change. Any entries under Fedmet's case number during the period Sept. 1, 2018, through Aug. 31, 2019, will be assessed AD duties at the 236% China-wide rate.
Additionally, for any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except the 17 companies listed above), cash deposit rates will also 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 09/01/18 - 08/31/19. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1910150009 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.
