New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Jan. 10

New cash deposit rates take effect for subject merchandise produced or exported by the companies under review, entered on or after Jan. 10, as follows:

ExporterAD Rate
GSP Automotive Group Wenzhou Co. Ltd.zero
Hangzhou Yonggu Auto-Parts Co., Ltd.zero
Zhejiang CTL Auto Parts Manufacturing Incorporated Co., Ltd.zero

China-wide entity. Commerce also found three companies -- Zhejiang Zhaofeng Mechanical & Electronic Co., Ltd., Yantai CMC Bearing Company Limited and Zhejiang Zhengda Bearing Co., Ltd. -- did not demonstrate independence from Chinese government control, assigning them to the China-wide entity with a rate of 92.84%.

For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the six exporters listed above), 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 rate the China-wide rate of 92.84% applies. Commerce is also ending the concurrent new shipper review of Zhejiang Jingli Bearing Technology Co. Ltd., because the company did not have any bona fide sales, so Zhejiang Jingli will remain subject to the 92.84% China-wide rate.

Assessment Rates

As a result of their zero rates, Commerce will direct CBP to liquidate subject merchandise exported by GSP Automotive, Hanzhou Yonggu and Zhejiang CTL with a time of entry between June 1, 2015, and May 31, 2016, without regard to AD duties. Entries from Zhejiang Zhaofeng, Yantai CMC and Zhejiang Zhengda will be liquidated at the 92.84% China-wide rate.

(The review period is 06/01/15 - 05/31/16. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
