China Steel Racks: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department has issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on certain steel racks and parts thereof from China (A-570-088). Commerce said these final results reflect that it corrected "ministerial errors in our preliminary calculations" for determining the AD rate for Nanjing Kingmore Logistics Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and corrected the draft liquidation instructions for Nanjing Kingmore. These final results will be used to set assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise entered March 4, 2019, through Aug. 31, 2020.

New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect April 8
For entries on or after April 8, the date these final results are set to be published in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates for subject merchandise produced or exported by the following companies:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Nanjing Dongsheng Shelf Manufacturing Co., Ltd. | 9.99% |
| Nanjing Kingmore Logistics Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. | 18.87% |
| Jiangsu Nova Intelligent Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd. | 14.03% |
| Nanjing Ironstone Storage Equipment Co., Ltd. | 14.03% |
| Suzhou (China) Sunshine Hardware & Equipment Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd. | 14.03% |
| Xiamen Luckyroc Industry Co., Ltd. | 14.03% |
China-wide. Commerce said 38 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 144.5%. See Appendix II of the notice for a full list.
No shipments. Commerce upheld its preliminary finding that two companies -- Hebei Minmetals Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Wireking Housewares and Hardware Co., Ltd. -- did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review. The cash deposit rates currently in effect for these companies will not change, and any entries during the period of review reported under their case numbers will be assessed duties at the 144.50% China-wide rate.
For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except the companies listed above), 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.
Assessment Rates for Entries March 2019 - August 2020
Commerce will assess AD duties at importer-specific rates for subject merchandise from Nanjing Dongsheng and Nanjing Kingmore entered March 4, 2019, through Aug. 31, 2020. Entries from other companies under review during that period will be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The review period is 03/04/19 - 08/31/20. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2110050050 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
