(The ITA previously determined in its final anticircumvention determination that mixed wax candles1 are covered by the scope of this order, effective for entries with a time of entry on or after February 25, 2005. See ITT's Online Archives or 10/12/06 news, (Ref: 06101240), for BP summary of the ITA's final anticircumvention determination.)
AD Cash Deposit Instructions for a Time of Entry on or after 10/25/06:
| Company |
|---|
| 108.30% |
| (a), (b), (c) |
2 The ITA states that the China-wide entity includes Qingdao Youngson Industrial Co., Ltd. (Youngson). The ITA therefore finds that the AD duty cash deposit rate of 108.30%, which is the current China-wide rate, is appropriate for Youngson.
(a) For any previously reviewed or investigated China or non-China exporter, not covered in this review, with a separate rate, the AD duty cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate established in the most recent segment of those proceedings;
(b) For all other China exporters, the AD duty cash deposit rate will be 108.30%, the China-wide rate indicated above;
(c) The AD duty cash deposit rate for any non-China exporter of subject merchandise from China who does not have its own rate will be the rate applicable to the China exporter that supplied the non-China exporter.
Assessment Instructions for Review Period (08/01/04-07/31/05)
For the period of review, the ITA states it will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate all suspended entries of subject merchandise from the China-wide entity, including Youngson, at 108.30%. The ITA states that this liquidation will include the mixed-wax candles subject to the final anticircumvention determination that have a time of entry from February 25, 2005 through July 31, 2005.
(The ITA states that in its final anticircumvention determination on petroleum wax candles from China, it instructed CBP to suspend liquidation of entries of candles containing any amount of petroleum wax beginning February 25, 2005. See ITT's Online Archives or 10/12/06 news, 06101240, for BP summary of the ITA's final anticircumvention determination.)
1 The mixed wax candles included in the scope of this order are candles composed of any amount of petroleum wax and more than 50% or more palm and/or other vegetable oil based waxes.
(See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the order (which has not been updated to include mixed wax candles containing any amount of petroleum effective 02/25/05), etc. See ITT's Online Archives or 06/27/06 news, 06062735, for BP summary of the preliminary results of this AD duty administrative review.)
