China Hangers: Final Results of AD Admin Review and New Shipper Review
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review and a concurrent new shipper review on steel wire garment hangers from China (A-570-918). The agency determined that most companies subject to this review didn't demonstrate independence from Chinese government control, and assigned them the high China-wide rate. Commerce only calculated rates for Shanghai Wells and new shipper Yingqing. The new rates will be used to set assessments of AD duties for entries of hangers from China between October 2011 and September 2012. New AD cash deposit rates set in this review will take effect June 2.
