Commerce is also conducting countervailing duty investigations on 2,4-D from China and India, setting CVD rates ranging from 3.1% to 27.68% for Chinese companies and 3.28% to 5.29% for Indian companies in a preliminary determination issued in September (see 2409120031). Suspension of liquidation for CVD purposes and CVD cash deposit requirements took effect Sept. 13, and the scope of these AD/CVD investigations was amended to correct the tariff numbers included in the scope.
AD Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation for AD purposes for all entries of subject merchandise that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after Nov. 14, and require cash deposits at the following rates:
China
| Producer | Exporter | AD Rate | Adjusted* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jiangxi Tianyu Chemical Co., Ltd | Thai Harvest / Jiangxi Tianyu Chemical Co., Ltd. | 17.07% | 16.44% |
| China-wide Entity | 127.21% | 126.58% |
India
| Exporter/Producer | AD Rate | Adjusted* |
|---|---|---|
| Atul Limited | 13.23% | 7.99% |
| Meghmani Organics Limited | 3.91% | 0.87% |
| All Others | 8.57% | 4.43% |
*As adjusted for export subsidies found in Commerce's concurrent CVD investigation. This rate is currently in effect for cash deposit purposes, and will remain in effect while Commerce is collecting CVD cash deposits. If the “provisional measures” period in the CVD investigation expires, the rate in the “AD Rate” column will take effect for cash deposit purposes, until such time that CVD collection resumes.
(The period of investigation for India is 01/01/23 - 12/31/23, and for China it's 07/01/23 - 12/31/23. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope (change to included tariff subheadings), suspension of liquidation, etc. See 2404290026 for a summary of the initiation of this AD investigation.)
