Commerce made some adjustments in the calculation methods used in the preliminary results, but that did not affect the final AD rate calculated for the one company under review, Dongkuk S&C Co., Ltd. This means the preliminary 1.95% AD rate for Dongkuk is unchanged in the final results. Subject merchandise from Dongkuk entered Aug. 1, 2021, and July 31, 2022, will be assessed AD at importer-specific rates. A new 1.95% cash deposit rate for Dongkuk took effect March 7, when the final results were published in the Federal Register.
The 1.95% rate for Dongkuk also was assigned to 12 companies under review that were not individually examined: CS Wind China Co., Ltd.; CS Wind Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.; CS Wind Taiwan Ltd.; CS Wind Turkey Kule Imalati A.S.; CS Wind UK Limited; CS Wind Vietnam Co., Ltd.; Enercon Korea Inc.; GE Renewable Energy; Nordex SE; Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy Limited; Vestas Korea; and Vestas Korea Wind Technology Ltd.
Commerce also continued to find, as it did in its preliminary results, that Hyosung Heavy Industries Corporation and CS Wind Corporation had no exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise during the review period. Cash deposit rates for these companies will not change, and any entries under their case numbers will be liquidated at the all-others rate.
For exporters of subject merchandise that weren't under review (i.e., all except Dongkuk), 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 rate, but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate of 5.41% applies.
(The review period is 08/01/21 - 07/31/22. See Commerce's notice of March 7 for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2309050082 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
