Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
As a result of this final determination, the ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect a cash deposit or bond based on the final AD duty rates below.
Final AD Rates Range from 77.75% to 174.85%
The ITA has found that Chinese producers/exporters have sold woven electric blankets in the U.S. at 77.75% to 174.85% less than normal value.
The mandatory respondent, Hung Kuo Electronics (Shenzhen) Company Limited, will receive a final AD duty rate of 77.75%.
Also, Ningbo V.K. Industry & Trading Co., Ltd. and Ningbo Jifa Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd./Ningbo Jinchun Electric Appliances Co., Ltd. qualified for a separate AD duty rate of 77.75%.
All other Chinese producers/exporters will receive a final AD duty rate of 174.85%.
ITC to Issue Final Injury Determination in August 2010
The ITC is scheduled to issue its final injury determination on or before August 9, 2010. If the ITC makes affirmative determinations that imports of woven electric blankets from China materially injure, or threaten material injury to, the domestic industry, the ITA will issue an AD duty order.
(See ITT’s Online Archives or 02/03/10 news, 10020340, for BP summary of the preliminary AD duty determination.)
