Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry for subject merchandise from exporters for which a review was not requested (ADCVDWeb Message # 3137418).
Commerce said it's ending its CVD review for 17 companies that had their requests for review withdrawn or that had no reviewable entries during the review period. See Commerce's notices for full lists of these companies.
Commerce added that two companies for which it had intended to rescind the review -- Anji Huaxin Bamboo & Wood Products Co., Ltd. and Composite Technology International, Limited -- submitted comments claiming that they had entries of subject merchandise during the review period. To allow it more time to fully examine the claims and request additional information, as necessary, the agency is continuing its investigation for the two companies and will make a determination in the final results.
Homebuild Industries Co., Ltd., claimed it had no reviewable entries during the period, but Commerce said it needed more time to investigate the claim and evidence, so it will make a determination in the final results. Homebuild, along with Anji Huaxin and Composite Technology, join the list of 21 companies that were not selected for individual review (see Appendix IV).
