China Solar Cells: AD New Shipper Review Begins for DMEGC

The Commerce Department is beginning an antidumping duty new shipper review on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from China (A-570-979) at the request of Hengdian Group DMEGC Magnetics Co., Ltd., for merchandise both produced and exported by the company. Commerce will determine if DMEGC is independent from state control, and therefore eligible for an estimated AD cash deposit rate other than the high 249.96% China-wide entity rate it currently receives.

(The period of review is 12/01/13 - 05/31/14. See notice for more information, including deadlines for the preliminary and final results, etc.)
