New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Sept. 2
For entries on or after Sept. 2, 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, with Commerce determining that the companies listed in the table below were all part of the China-wide entity because they did not establish eligibility for a separate rate:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Dezhou Hualude Hardware Products Co., Ltd. | 118.04% |
| Huanghua Jinhai Hardware Products Co. Ltd. | 118.04% |
| Huanghua Xionghua Hardware Products Co., Ltd. | 118.04% |
| Jining Dragon Fasteners Co., Ltd. | 118.04% |
| Jining Huarong Hardware Products Co., Ltd. | 118.04% |
| Jining Yonggu Metal Products Co., Ltd. | 118.04% |
| SDC International Australia Pty. Ltd. | 118.04% |
| Shandong Oriental Cherry Hardware Group Heze Products Co., Ltd. | 118.04% |
| Shandong Oriental Cherry Hardware Import and Export Co., Ltd. | 118.04% |
| Shanghai Curvet Hardware Products Co., Ltd. | 118.04% |
| Shanghai Yueda Nails Industry Co., Ltd., a.k.a. Shanghai Yueda Nails Co., Ltd. | 118.04% |
| Shanxi Tianli Industries Co., Ltd. | 118.04% |

| Tianjin Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd. | 118.04% |
| Zhejiang Gem-Chun Hardware Accessory Co., Ltd. | 118.04% |
No shipments. Commerce upheld its preliminary finding that 11 companies did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review. The 11 companies are: Hebei Minmetals Co., Ltd.; Nanjing Caiqing Hardware Co., Ltd.; Nanjing Yuechang Hardware Co., Ltd.; Shandong Qingyun Hongyi Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Hairui Trade Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Pioneer Hardware Industrial Co., Ltd.; S-Mart (Tianjin) Technology Development Co., Ltd.; Suntec Industries Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Jinghai County Hongli Industry & Business Co., Ltd.; and Xi'an Metals & Minerals Import & Export Co., Ltd. The cash deposit rates currently in effect for these 11 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 2020 - July 2021
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, 2020, and July 31, 2021. Commerce will liquidate entries from all companies under review during that period at the rates listed above.
