Rates Only Preliminary; Cash Deposit Rates From Previous Proceedings Still in Effect

These preliminary results do not affect current rates, and 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 Taiwanese company is still applicable. If no final AD duty rate has ever been calculated for a company, then it is subject to the all others rate of 4.37%. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in February.

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 rates:

Producer/ExporterAD Rate
King Young Enterprise Co., Ltd. / Glory Young Enterprise Co., Ltd. / Ethel Enterprise Co., Ltd. Taiwan3.38%
Hen Hao Trading Co. Ltd. (a.k.a. Taiwan Tulip Ribbons and Braids Co. Ltd.)137.2%

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 Sept. 1, 2012 and Aug. 31, 2013. If these preliminary results are unchanged in the final results, Commerce will calculate importer-specific AD duty assessments on entries of subject merchandise exported by King Young. Subject merchandise from Hen Hao would be liquidated at the 137.2% rate preliminarily assigned in this review. Entries from all other exporters would be liquidated "as entered," either at the cash deposit rate set in the company's most recently completed administrative review, or at the all others rate if no review has ever been completed for the company.

(The period of review is 09/01/12 -- 08/31/13. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
