China Diamond Sawblades: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the final results of its antidumping duty administrative review on diamond sawblades from China (A-570-900). The agency calculated a zero percent AD rate for Chengdu Huifeng New Material Technology Co., Ltd., and assigned that rate to five other companies that were under review but not individually examined by Commerce. Subject merchandise from Huifeng and the five other separate rate companies entered Nov. 1, 2017, through Oct. 31, 2018, will be liquidated without any assessment of AD duties, and future entries of subject merchandise from these six companies will not be subject to AD duty cash deposit requirements until further notice. Changes to cash deposit rates from these final results take effect Nov. 9.

Exporters that didn't get a rate in this review will continue to get the cash deposit rate set for the respective company in the most recent previous administrative review, and exporters that have never been assigned an AD rate will continue to be subject to the China-wide rate of 82.05%.
