Commerce also has suspended liquidation and is requiring cash deposits of countervailing duties on erythritol from China, setting CVD rates ranging from 3.29% to 3.49% for Chinese exporters in a preliminary determination issued May 16 (see 2505150029).
​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will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation for AD purposes for all entries of subject merchandise that are entered, or withdrawn from a warehouse, for consumption on or after July 16 (liquidation is already suspended for CVD purposes), and require AD cash deposits as follows:
| Exporter | Producer | AD Rate | Adjusted* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beijing Refine Biology Co., Ltd. | Chuzhou Refine Biology Co., Ltd. | 371.62% | 371.53% |
| Hunan Nutramax Inc. | Hunan Nutramax Inc. | 371.62% | 371.53% |
| Shandong Newnature Biotechnology Co., Ltd. | Shandong Sanyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. | 371.62% | 371.53% |
| China-Wide Entity | 450.64% | 450.64% |
*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 is 04/01/24 - 09/30/24. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope (unchanged), suspension of liquidation, detailed cash deposit instructions, etc. See 2501080026 for a summary of the initiation of this investigation.)
