Rates Only Preliminary; Cash Deposit Rates From Previous Proceedings Still in Effect
These CV rates are only preliminary, and do not change current CV duty rates. For now, the most recent final CV rate calculated for each Chinese company is still applicable. If no final CV duty rate has ever been calculated for a company, then it is subject to the all others rate. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in May.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new CV duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register.
| Company | CV Rate |
|---|---|
| Lightway Green New Energy Co., Ltd. | 22.73% |
| Shanghai BYD Co. Ltd. / Shangluo BYD Industrial Co., Ltd / BYD Company Limited | 8.63% |
| Rate for 66 other companies under review | 15.68% |
(See Commerce's notice for a full list of the 66 companies getting the preliminary 15.68% CV duty rate.)
Assessment Rates
When Commerce issues its final results, it will use them to set assessments of CV duties on importers of subject merchandise entered between March 26, 2012 and Dec. 31, 2012.
(The period of review is 03/26/12 -- 12/31/12. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
