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. Any changes would only take effect upon publication in the Federal Register​ of the final results of this review, which are currently due in October.
Liquidation 'As Entered' for Entries from Exporters Not Subject to Review
Only 39 exporters of aluminum extrusions for which an administrative review was requested are covered by this review. Cash deposit rates for all other Chinese exporters will not change. Commerce ordered liquidation at "as entered" rates for entries during the period of review from all exporters for which a review was requested, in a message sent to CBP in July (here). It later ordered liquidation "as entered" for 116 other companies for which requests for review were withdrawn (here).
(Liquidation of entries subject to scope inquiries and injunctions remains suspended.)
Cash Deposit Requirements
For the 39 remaining companies, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty cash deposit rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Allied Maker Ltd. | 32.79% |
| Changzhou Changzheng Evaporator Co., Ltd. | 32.79% |
| Dongguan Aoda Aluminum Co., Ltd. | 32.79% |
| Justhere Co., Ltd. | 32.79% |
| Kam Kiu Aluminium Products Sdn Bhd | 32.79% |
| Kromet International Inc. | 32.79% |
| Metaltek Group Co., Ltd. | 32.79% |
| Permasteelisa Hong Kong Ltd. | 32.79% |
| tenKsolar (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. | 32.79% |
| Union Industry (Asia) Co., Ltd. | zero |
| China-wide rate | 33.18% |
China-wide rate. Commerce preliminarily found the following companies did not demonstrate independence from state control, assigning them to the China-wide entity with an AD rate of 33.18%: Guang Ya Aluminium Industries Co., Ltd.; Foshan Guangcheng Aluminium Co., Ltd.; Kong Ah International Company Limited; Guang Ya Aluminium Industries (Hong Kong) Ltd.; Guangdong Zhongya Aluminium Company Limited; Zhongya Shaped Aluminium (HK) Holding Limited; Karlton Aluminum Company Ltd.; Xinya Aluminum & Stainless Steel Product Co., Ltd.; Aluminicaste Fundicion de Mexico; China Zhongwang Holdings, Ltd.; Classic & Contemporary Inc.; Dongguan Golden Tiger; Dongguan Golden Tiger Hardware Industrial Co., Ltd.; Gold Mountain International Development, Ltd.; Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group, Inc.; Metaltek Metal Industry Co., Ltd.; Nidec Sankyo Singapore Pte. Ltd.; Press Metal International Ltd.; Shenyang Yuanda Aluminium Industry Engineering Co., Ltd.; tenKsolar, Inc.; Tianjin Jinmao Import & Export Corp., Ltd.; WTI Building Products, Ltd.; and Zahoqing China Square Industry Limited/Zhaoqing China Square Industry Limited.
No shipments. Commerce found Xin Wei Aluminum Company Limited did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review. If this finding is confirmed in the final results, Xin Wei's cash deposit rate will not change in this review.
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 exported by the 39 companies under review that was entered between May 1, 2013 and April 30, 2014. If the agency makes no changes in the final results, it will liquidate all entries exported by Union Industry without payment of AD duties. Entries from the other exporters subject to this review will be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The period of review is 05/01/13 -- 04/30/14. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
