Commerce said it made certain changes to calculations for the two mandatory respondents, resulting in a slightly lower CVD rate for all companies than in the preliminary results of this review.

New Cash Deposit Rate Took Effect June 21

The new CVD cash deposit rates for the producers and exporters subject to this review became effective June 21, the date these final results were published in the Federal Register. The new rates, which also will apply for importer assessment purposes, are as follows:

ExporterCVD Rate
Anhui Trust Chem Co., Ltd./Jiangsu Trust Chem Co., Ltd./Nanjing Trust Chem Co., Ltd.19.09%
Nantong Botao Chemical Co., Ltd./Rugao Connect Chemical Co., Ltd./Rugao Jinling Chemical Co., Ltd./Nantong Yutu Group Co., Ltd.16.63%
Gold Chemical Limited18.4%
Jiangyin Delian Chemical Co., Ltd.18.4%
Kanghua Chemical Co., Ltd. (f/k/a Nantong Kanghua Chemical Co., Ltd.)18.4%

For exporters of subject merchandise that weren't under review (i.e., all except those 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 CVD rate but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate applies.

(The review period is 01/01/22 - 12/31/22. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2404030038 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
