Rates Only Preliminary; Cash Deposit Rates From Previous Proceedings Still in Effect
These AD duty rates are only preliminary, and do not change current AD duty rates. Commerce may still change its calculations when it issues the final results of this administrative review. For now, the most recent final AD rate calculated for each Chinese company is still applicable. If no final AD duty rate has ever been calculated for a company, then it is subject to the China-wide rate of 383.6%. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in January.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register.
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| New-Tec Integration (Xiamen) Co., Ltd | zero |
No shipments. Commerce preliminarily found that another company under review, Yangjiang Shunhe Industrial Co., did not have any shipments of subject merchandise to the U.S. during the period of review. If Commerce continues this finding in the final results, entries from Shunhe will continue to enter at rates set in the most recent previous administrative review.
Assessment Rates
If Commerce continues to calculate a zero percent AD duty rate for New-Tec in the final results of its administrative review, the agency will not assess AD duties on importers for entries of subject merchandise from New-Tec entered between Dec. 1, 2012 and Nov. 30, 2013. If Commerce continues to find Shunhe had no shipments, any entries from Shunhe during the period of review will be liquidated at the China-wide rate.
(The period of review is 12/01/12 -- 11/30/13. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
