Rates Only Preliminary; Cash Deposit Rates From Previous Proceedings Still in Effect
These AD duty rates are only preliminary, and do not change current AD duty rates. 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 of 128.63%. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in March.
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.
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Jiangsu RC Import & Export Co., Ltd. | 135.51% |

China-wide entity. Commerce also found that Suzhou Guoxin Group Wang Shun Imp. and Exp. Co., Ltd. did not cooperate with review, and preliminarily assigned it the China-wide rate.
Assessment Rates
Commerce will use these rates to calculate assessments of AD duties on importers for entries between Oct. 1, 2012 and Sep. 30, 2013. Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates for importers of subject merchandise exported by Jiangsu RC.
