The agency said Jiangsu Zhongji Lamination Materials Co., (HK) Limited’s subsidy rate calculation is affected. Commerce said that after correcting the ministerial error in the calculation method, the amended rate for Zhongji HK was higher (22.35% revised to 25.24%). The rate for the other mandatory respondent, the Dingsheng affiliated companies, was unchanged. That means the rate for the non-individually examined companies, 18 in all, also was higher, moving from the original final CVD rate of 27.5% to 29.13%.
