Rates Only Preliminary; Cash Deposit Rates From Previous Proceedings Still in Effect
These preliminary results are only preliminary, and are not in effect. Commerce may still change its calculations when it issues the final results of this administrative review. For now, the most recent final AD rate calculated for each Chinese company is still applicable. If no final AD duty rate has ever been calculated for a company, then it is subject to the China-wide rate. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in July.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty 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 rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Shandong Taihe Chemicals Co., Ltd. | 43.58% |
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the AD duties it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013. Commerce said it will calculate a specific AD duty rate for each importer based on entry data.
(The period of review is 04/01/12 -- 03/31/13. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
