Commerce said it added two companies eligible for a separate AD rate since the three that qualified in the preliminary results, and three companies to the five that qualified preliminarily in the CVD review. The AD and CVD rates, all based on adverse facts available, didn't change for the final results.
Several companies that were subject to the CVD review for a separate rate didn't qualify for a separate rate in the AD review. Those are listed in Appendix II of the notice.
For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the companies listed below), 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 AD or CVD rate, but the manufacturer has, the AD or CVD rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned an AD or CVD cash deposit rate by Commerce, the AD China-wide rate of 114.72% or the CVD all-others rate applies, respectively.

Assessment Rates for Entries Sept. 26, 2021 - December 2022
Commerce will also calculate the AD and CVD it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered Sept. 26, 2021, through Dec. 31, 2022.
In regard to the AD review, for all entries of subject merchandise exported by the companies listed in Appendix I and for certain entries by Win Faith (all found to have no shipments in the review period), Commerce said it will instruct CBP to liquidate the entries without regard to AD. For all of the entries of merchandise exported by Hoang Lam, Quang Phat and Shanghai Luli, and for the remaining entries by Win Faith -- companies that are part of the China-wide entity -- Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate their entries at the China-wide entity rate, i.e., 114.72%. Entries of merchandise exported by Cam Lam, Groll Ply, Plywood Sunshine, and Quoc Thai will be liquidated at a rate of 89.1%.
In regard to the CVD review, for all entries of merchandise exported by the companies listed in Appendix I, as well as certain entries by Win Faith (all found to have no shpments in the review period), Commerce said it will instruct CBP to liquidate the entries without regard to CVD. For all suspended entries of merchandise exported by Cam Lam, Groll Ply, Hoang Lam, Plywood Sunshine, Quang Phat, Quoc Thai, Thang Long and the remaining entries by Win Faith, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate their entries at the assigned subsidy rate of 100.11%
