Lithographic Printing Plates: Amended AD Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect for China
The Commerce Department is amending its preliminary antidumping duty determination on aluminum lithographic printing plates from China (A-570-156) to correct a calculation error in the AD rate for Fujifilm China. As a result of the correction, the cash deposit rate in effect for Fujifilm China will increase substantially, from 38.57% to 164.3%. As a result of the increase, in order to keep the China-wide rate above Fujifilm's new rate, Commerce is also increasing the China-wide rate from 107.61% to 477.59%

This rate is currently in effect for cash deposit purposes, and will remain in effect while Commerce is collecting CVD cash deposits.

(The period of investigation is 01/01/23 - 06/30/23. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope (unchanged), suspension of liquidation, etc. See 2405010049 for a summary of the original preliminary determination.)
