The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determination, currently scheduled for June 12. If the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue an AD duty order and duties will be made permanent. If the ITC finds no injury, the investigation will be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded.
Estimated AD Cash Deposit Rates Fall
Effective May 5, Commerce will instruct CBP to require an AD duty cash deposit for all imports of subject merchandise from China equal to the following AD rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
| Silvery Dragon Group Technology and Trading Co., Ltd. Tianjin | 31.4% |
| China-wide Entity | 35.31% |
