Commerce said that after the preliminary results were published, the comments it received led it to recalculate the AD rate for Xingyi Metalworking Technology (Zhejiang) Co. Ltd., resulting in an AD rate higher than the preliminary rate of 61.44%. The other respondent in the review, Hangzhou Evernew Machinery & Equipment Co. Ltd., didn't cooperate with the next portion of the review, so Commerce said it couldn't verify the information it did supply and determined it didn't qualify for a separate rate after all. Its preliminary AD rate was 22.67%. It's now part of the China-wide entity, with an AD rate of 322.25%.
New Cash Deposit Rates Begin April 16
In these final results, new AD cash deposit requirements take effect for the following companies beginning April 16, the date these final results were published in the Federal Register. Commerce calculated the following AD cash deposit rates:
| Producer/Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Xingyi Metalworking Technology (Zhejiang) Co. Ltd. | 78.07% |
No shipments. Commerce upheld its preliminary determination that Zhejiang Xingyi Metal Products Co. Ltd. and Jiangsu Wanlong Special Containers Co. Ltd. had no shipments during the review period. Commerce will instruct CBP to assess any suspended entries of subject merchandise that entered under those exporters’ CBP case numbers during the review period at the rate for the China-wide entity.
For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except the companies listed above), cash deposit rates also will remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the China-wide rate of 322.25% applies.
