Liquidation 'As Entered' for Entries from Exporters Not Subject to Review
Only three exporters for which an administrative review was requested are still covered by this review. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters will not change. Commerce ordered liquidation "as entered" for entries during the period of review from all exporters not under review (here). In these preliminary results, Commerce is also ending the review for 189 companies that had their requests for review withdrawn.
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. If Fangda Group and Fushun Jinly continue to get a zero percent AD rates in the final results, they will not be subject to AD duty cash deposit requirements until further notice.
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Fangda Group (Beijing Fangda Carbon Tech Co., Ltd., Chengdu Rongguang Carbon Co., Ltd., Fangda Carbon New Material Co., Ltd., Fushun Carbon Co., Ltd., and Hefei Carbon Co., Ltd.) | zero |
| Fushun Jinly Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd. | zero |
| Xuzhou Jianglong Carbon Products Co., Ltd. | 21.16% |
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate final AD duty assessments on importers of subject merchandise exported by the companies under review that was entered between Feb. 1, 2014 and Jan. 31, 2015. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise exported by Fangda Group or Fushun Jinly and entered during the period under review will not be assessed AD duties. Importers of subject merchandise from Xuzhou Jianglong would be assessed AD duties at the rate listed above.
(The period of review is 02/01/14 -- 01/31/15. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
