Rates Only Preliminary; Cash Deposit Rates From Previous Proceedings Still in Effect
These preliminary results do not affect current cash deposit requirements. For now, the most recent final AD rate calculated for each Chinese exporter 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 May.
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:
