(In its original preliminary AD duty determination, the ITA determined that mandatory respondent Dalian Eastfound Metal Products Co., Ltd./Dalian Eastfound Material Handling Products Co. Ltd. benefitted from an export subsidy, and its AD duty rate would be adjusted for the export subsidy rate determined in the preliminary countervailing duty determination. The AD duty rate listed for Eastfound in the ITA's original preliminary determination was a pre-adjusted rate, as the adjusted rate was previously unavailable.

The ITA noted that the export subsidy found for all others in the companion CV duty preliminary determination was so small (0.005%) as to have no impact on the AD margin for the separate rate respondents. Accordingly, the ITA is not adjusting the AD margins for the separate rate respondents.)

The ITA has directed CBP to require a cash deposit or bond for shipments of subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after January 12, 2010 for the following exporter/producer combinations, at the AD duty rates listed below.
