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 Take Effect April 11
For entries on or after April 11, 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:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| China-wide entity (applies to 41 companies*) | 63.6% |
* See Commerce's AD notice, Appendix II, for the full list of 41 companies for which a review was requested (which did not file a separate rate application or did not demonstrate separate rate eligibility) that Commerce determined to be part of the China-wide entity.
Commerce also is setting new CVD cash deposit requirements for subject merchandise entered on or after April 11 that was produced or exported by the following companies (unchanged from the preliminary results):
| Producer/Exporter | CVD Rate |
|---|---|
| Guangzhou Ulix Industrial & Trading Co., Ltd. | 2.48% |
| Ningbo Master International Trade Co., Ltd. and cross-owned affiliates Ningbo Major Draft Beer Equipment Co., Ltd., and Zhejiang Major Technology Co., Ltd. | 2.41% |
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 Dec. 1, 2021, and Nov. 30, 2022, and Jan. 1, 2021, and Dec. 31, 2021, respectively. Importers of subject merchandise exported by any Chinese company under review will be assessed AD at the China-wide entity rate. Commerce will use the rates listed above to set CVD assessments for the two exporters and cross-owned affiliates under review for entries in calendar year 2021.
(The review period is 12/01/21 - 11/30/22 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 2312070075 for a summary of the preliminary results of the AD and 2312110047 of the CVD administrative reviews.)
