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for entries during the period of review from all exporters for which a review was not requested or review requests were withdrawn (ADCVDWeb Message # 3331409).

In these preliminary results, Commerce said it intends to rescind this review for four companies -- Kunshan Dongchu Precision Machinery Co., Ltd.; Pingchu Chenda Storage Office Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Jia Mei Metal Furniture Ltd.; and Zhejiang Xingyi Metal Products Co., Ltd. -- because they had no reviewable subject entries during the review period. Entries from these companies, if these determinations are upheld, also will be liquidated as entered.

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 January 2025. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following CV duty cash deposit rate:

Producer/ExporterCVD Rate (Prelim)
Hangzhou Evernew Machinery & Equipment Company / Zhejiang Yinghong Metalware Co., Ltd.15.35%
Xingyi Metalworking Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd.22.82%
Hangzhou Xline Machinery & Equipment Co., Ltd. (also called Hangzhou Xline Machinery)19.09%
Jiangsu Wanlong Special Containers Co., Ltd.19.09%
