Commerce ordered liquidation "as entered" at the cash deposit rate in effect at time of entry for subject merchandise from exporters for which a review was not requested, in a message sent to CBP in January (here). Commerce is also rescinding this review for Husqvarna (Hebei) Co., Ltd., and will order liquidation "as entered" for entries from Husqvarna as well.
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:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Jiangsu Fengtai Diamond Tool Manufacture Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Fengtai Tools Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Sawing Co., Ltd. | 57.11% |
| Weihai Xiangguang Mechanical Industrial Co., Ltd. | 0.75% |
| Average rate for 22 companies | 12.51% |
(See Commerce's notice for the full list of 22 companies that were preliminarily assigned new AD rates but were not under individual review.)
China wide. Commerce found over 20 companies did not cooperate in the review, and assigned them the 82.05% China-wide rate.
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 Nov. 1, 2013 and Oct. 31, 2014. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise exported by Fengtai and Xiangguang will be assessed AD duties at importer-specific rates. Importers of subject merchandise exported by the 22 average rate companies and the more than 20 China-wide companies will be assessed AD duties at the rates set in the final results. For the six companies that Commerce preliminary determined had no shipments during the period of review, any entries listing their case number would be liquidated at the China-wide rate.
(The period of review is 11/01/13 -- 10/31/14. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
