For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the companies listed below), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own AD or CVD rate but the manufacturer has, the AD or CVD rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned an AD or CVD cash deposit rate by Commerce, the AD China-wide rate or the CVD all-others rate applies, respectively.

New Cash Deposit Rates Took Effect Nov. 7

For entries on or after Nov. 7, the date of publication of the final results of each review in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD cash deposit rates for subject merchandise produced or exported by the following companies:

ExporterAD Rate
Fujian Dushi Wooden Industry Co., Ltd.43.4%
The Ancientree Cabinet Co., Ltd.8.26%
Average rate for 25 companies*12.03%

* See Commerce's AD notice, Appendix II, for the full list of 25 companies that weren't under individual review.

No shipments. Commerce confirmed its preliminarily finding in the final results that eight companies -- Dalian Hualing Wood Co., Ltd.; Dalian Meisen Woodworking Co., Ltd.; Guangzhou Nuolande Import and Export Co., Ltd.; Hangzhou Hoca Kitchen & Bath Products Co., Ltd.; Linyi Kaipu Furniture Co., Ltd.; Senke Manufacturing Company; Shandong Longsen Woods Co., Ltd.; and Shouguang Fushi Wood Co., Ltd. -- didn't have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review. The cash deposit rates currently in effect for these companies therefore won't change, and any entries reported to be from them will be assessed duties at the China-wide rate.

China-wide entity. See Commerce's AD notice, Appendix II, for the list of 14 companies for which a review was requested that were assigned to the China-wide entity, with a dumping margin of 251.64%.

Commerce also is setting new CVD cash deposit requirements for subject merchandise entered on or after Nov. 7 that was produced or exported by the following companies:

Fujian Dushi Wooden Industry Co., Ltd.16.13%
Jiangsu Sunwell Cabinetry Co., Ltd. / Shanghai Beautystar Cabinetry Co., Ltd.7.54%

Weifang Fuxing Wood Co., Ltd.13.63%
Xiamen Adler Cabinetry Co., Ltd.13.63%
Yixing Pengjia Cabinetry Co., Ltd.13.63%

No shipments. Commerce made a final determination that five companies -- Shouguang Fushi Wood Co., Ltd.; Taizhou Overseas Int’l Ltd.; Yixing Pengjia Technology Co., Ltd.; Zaozhuang New Sharp Import & Export Trading Co., Ltd.; and Zhoushan For-strong Wood Co., Ltd. -- didn't have reviewable entries of subject merchandise for which liquidation is suspended, and rescinded the review with respect to these companies. Commerce will instruct CBP to assess CVD on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of the estimated CVD required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during calendar year 2021.

Assessment Rates for Entries April 2021 - March 2022 and January-December 2021

Commerce will also calculate the AD and CVD it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between April 1, 2021, and March 31, 2022, and Jan. 1, 2021, and Dec. 31, 2021, respectively. Importers of subject merchandise exported by Fujian Dushi and Ancientree will be assessed AD at importer-specific rates. Importers of subject merchandise exported by the 25 average rate companies will be assessed AD duties at a rate of 12.03%. Commerce will use the rates listed above to set CVD assessments for the 10 exporters under review for entries in calendar year 2021.

(The review period is 04/01/21 - 03/31/22 for AD and 01/01/21 - 12/31/21 for CVD. See Commerce's notices for more information, including the scope of the orders, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2305040039 for a summary of the preliminary results of the AD and CVD administrative reviews.)
