China Cased Pencils: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department on July 18 released the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on cased pencils from China (A-570-827). The agency preliminarily found two of the three companies remaining under review, Tianjin Tonghe Stationery Co., Ltd. and Ningbo Homey Union Co., Ltd., did not file for a separate rate, and tentatively assigned them to the China-wide entity with an AD rate of 114.9%. If these preliminary results are adopted unchanged, Commerce will in its final results assess AD duties at 114.9% for importers of subject merchandise from Tianjin Tonghe and Ningbo Homey entered Dec. 1, 2020, through Nov. 30, 2021. A cash deposit rate of 114.9% would take effect for these two companies upon publication of the final results in the Federal Register.
