(The ITA previously determined that subject merchandise exported by mandatory respondent DP-Master Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (the DP-Master Group) benefitted from an export subsidy, and its AD duty rate should be adjusted for the export subsidy portion of the rate determined in the preliminary countervailing duty determination. The AD duty rates for the separate rate respondents and the China-wide entity are unaffected and are unchanged.

The AD duty rate for the DP-Master Group listed in the ITA’s original notice of amended preliminary determination was a pre-adjusted rate, as the adjusted rate was previously unavailable.)

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 August 18, 2010 for the following exporter/producer combination, at the following adjusted AD duty rate:
