The ITA is amending the final results to correct ministerial errors made in the calculation of the AD duty margin for Fujian Lianfu Forestry Co./Fujian Wonder Pacific Inc./Fuzhou Huan Mei Furniture Co., Ltd./Jiangsu Dare Furniture Co., Ltd. (collectively, Dare Group), Shanghai Aosen Furniture Co., Ltd., and Kunwa Enterprise Company (Kunwa).

The rate change for Dare Group and Shanghai Aosen also changes the cash deposit rates for the companies subject to the administrative review that receive a separate rate (the Separate Rate Respondents).

Further, the ITA determined that a certain ministerial error existed with respect to its determination not to grant Kunwa a separate rate and, for these amended final results, the ITA has determined that Kunwa has demonstrated its eligibility for a separate rate. (The rate for the China-wide entity remains unchanged.)

(b) For previously investigated or reviewed China and non-China exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the AD duty cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period;

(d) For all non-China exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the AD duty cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the China exporters that supplied that non-China exporter.

Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (06/24/04 - 12/31/05)

The ITA intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after November 7, 2007.

For customers/importers of respondents that did not report entered value, the ITA calculated customer/importer-specific AD duty assessment amounts. For customers/importers of respondents that reported entered value, the ITA calculated customer-specific AD duty assessment amounts.

For the companies receiving a separate rate that were not selected for individual review (i.e., the Separate Rate Respondents), the ITA will calculate an assessment rate based on the weighted average of the cash deposit rates calculated for companies selected for individual review, excluding any that are zero, de minimis or based entirely on AFA (adverse facts available).

(See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the order, etc. See ITT's Online Archives or 08/23/07 news, 07082340, for BP summary of the final results of these AD duty administrative and new shipper reviews.)
