Only the exporters for which an administrative review was requested are covered by this review. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters will not change. Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” for entries during the period of review from all exporters for which a review was not requested (ADCVDWeb Message # 4205402).
Commerce is ending the review for 18 companies. Of those, 17 had all requests for their review withdrawn. The companies are listed in Appendix II of the notice. The review for one company -- Prosvic Sales, Inc. -- is rescinded because it had no reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during the review period. Entries during the period of review from these 18 companies will also be liquidated as entered.
For companies that remain subject to review, new CVD cash deposit requirements may take effect beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register, currently scheduled for December. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following CVD cash deposit rates:
| Company | CVD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Jiangsu Zhongji Lamination Materials Co., Ltd. (f/k/a Jiangsu Zhongji Lamination Materials Stock Co., Ltd.) and cross-owned companies: Jiangsu Huafeng Aluminium Industry Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Huafeng); Shantou Wanshun New Material Group Co., Ltd. (f/k/a Shantou Wanshun Package Material Stock Co., Ltd.) (Shantou Wanshun); Anhui Zhongji Battery Foil Sci&Tech Co., Ltd. (aka Anhui Zhongii Battery Foil Science & Technology Co., Ltd.) (f/k/a Anhui Maximum Aluminium Industries Company Limited) (Anhui Zhongji); Sichuan Wanshun Zhongji Aluminium Industry Co., Ltd.; and Anhui Maximum Aluminum Co., Ltd. (Zhongji HK) | 25.25% |
| Shanghai Shenyan Packaging Materials Co., Ltd. | 540.55% |
| Non-individually reviewed companies (applies to 14 companies that qualified for a separate rate) * | 27.45% |
* See Appendix III of the notice for a complete list of the 14 companies.
For all non-reviewed firms, Commerce said it will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits of estimated CVD at the most recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate.
(The period of review is 01/01/23 - 12/31/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
