Because the requests for review for two companies, Mingtai Aluminum and Henan Mingshen New Material Technology, were timely withdrawn, Commerce said it is rescinding the review for the two companies. Commerce will instruct CBP to assess CVD on all entries in calendar year 2022 at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of entry.
Only the exporters for which an administrative review was requested are covered by this review. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters will not change. Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” for entries during the period of review from all exporters for which a review was not requested or review requests were withdrawn (ADCVDWeb Message # 3139403).
Cash Deposit Requirements
New CVD cash deposit requirements may take effect for the following companies beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register, currently scheduled for July. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following CV duty cash deposit rates:
| Producer/Exporter | CV Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Jiangsu Alcha Aluminum Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Alcha Aluminium Co., Ltd. (now known as Jiangsu Alcha Aluminium Group Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Alcha Aluminum Group Co., Ltd.); Alcha International Holdings Limited; Baotou Alcha Aluminium Co., Ltd., Baotou Alcha Aluminum Co., Ltd., Baotou Alcha North Aluminum Co., Ltd., and Baotou Changlv Northern Aluminium Industry Co., Ltd.; and Jiangsu Alcha New Energy Materials Co., Ltd. | 23.27% |
| Yinbang Clad Material Co., Ltd. | 29.96% |
| Zhengzhou Mingtai Industry Co., Ltd. | 379.6% |
Commerce said that in the final results, for Jiangsu Alcha, it intends to instruct CBP to collect CVD cash deposits on all appropriate entries covered by this review under both its old and new names (i.e., Jiangsu Alcha Aluminum Group Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Alcha Aluminium Group Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Alcha Aluminum Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Alcha Aluminium Co., Ltd.); and for Baotou Alcha, it intends to instruct CBP to collect CVD cash deposits on all appropriate entries covered by this review for all of its names identified in the notice.
