China Tapered Roller Bearings: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review and New Shipper Review
The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review, as well as a new shipper review, on tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished, from China (A-570-601). In the administrative review, which will set assessment rates on importers for entries between June 2012 and May 2013, Commerce preliminarily set new rates for Changshan Peer Bearing and Zhejiang Zhaofeng Mechanical and Electronic. In the new shipper review, Commerce preliminarily assigned Shanghai Tainai Bearing a zero percent cash deposit rate.

Rates Only Preliminary; Cash Deposit Rates From Previous Proceedings Still in Effect
These preliminary results do not change AD duty cash deposit rates currently in effect, nor do they set final assessments on importers. 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 92.84% China-wide rate. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in November.
Preliminary 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 in its 2012-13 administrative review:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Changshan Peer Bearing Co., Ltd. | 0.6% |
| Zhejiang Zhaofeng Mechanical and Electronic Co., Ltd. | 0.6% |
New Shipper Review. Commerce is simultaneously conducting a new shipper review for Shanghai Tainai Bearing. It preliminarily calculated a zero percent AD duty rate for subject merchandise both produced and exported by the company. If Commerce continues to find a zero percent rate for Shanghai Tainai in its final results, subject merchandise both produced and exported by the company will not be subject to AD duty cash deposit requirements until further notice.
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 June 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013. Commerce said it will calculate a specific AD duty rate for each importer of subject merchandise from the Changshan Peer Bearing. For importers of subject merchandise from Zhejiang Zhaofeng, Commerce says it will assess AD duties at the rate set in the final results of this administrative review (i.e., 0.6% if unchanged).
(The period of review is 06/01/12 -- 05/31/13. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
