Commerce said it is rescinding the review for three companies originally selected as mandatory respondents, because they had no reviewable suspended entries during the review period. The companies are: Ningbo Eagle Machinery & Technology Co., Ltd.; Sanjiang Kai Yuan Co. Ltd.; and Zhejiang Kin-Shine Technology Co., Ltd.
Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry for subject merchandise entered May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024, that was exported by companies for which a review was not requested, i.e., all but the three listed below (AD/CVD Message # 4222406).
AD Duty Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty cash deposit rate for the one company remaining in the review:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Wuyi Xilinde Machinery Manufacture Co., Ltd. | 71.89% |
For all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the China-wide entity, which is 112.21%. For all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter.
Assessment Rates
If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise exported by Wuyi Xilinde during the period May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024, will be assessed AD at importer-specific rates, and importers from the other companies under review will be assessed AD at the rates listed above.
(The period of review is 05/01/23 - 04/30/24. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
