New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect March 9
For entries on or after March 9, the date these final results are scheduled for publication in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates. For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except those listed below), cash deposit rates will remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the China-wide rate applies. The new rates are as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Shanghai Curvet Hardware Products Co., Ltd. | 22.91% |
| Tianjin Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd. | 22.91% |
China-wide. Commerce said 429 companies did not demonstrate independence from state control, or otherwise did not respond to Commerce Department questionnaires, and assigned these companies to the China-wide entity with a rate of 118.04%. See Commerce's notice for a full list.
No shipments. Commerce found another 21 companies did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review.

The cash deposit rates currently in effect for these 21 companies will not change, and any entries during the period of review reported under their case numbers will be assessed duties at the 118.04% China-wide rate.
Assessment Rates for Entries August 2019 - July 2020
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to set assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise for entries between Aug. 1, 2019, and July 31, 2020. Commerce will liquidate entries from Shanghai Curvet and Tianjin Zhonglian during that period at importer-specific rates. Entries from the other companies under review will be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The review period is 08/01/19 - 07/31/20. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2105100040 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
