China Cased Pencils: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department released the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on cased pencils from China (A-570-827). Commerce said it continued to find that Tianjin Tonghe Stationery Co., Ltd. and Ningbo Homey Union Co., Ltd., did not demonstrate independence from state control, assigning them to the China-wide AD duty rate of 114.9%. Commerce will assess AD duties at this rate on subject merchandise from Tianjin Tonghe and Ningbo Homey entered Dec. 1, 2020, through Nov. 30, 2021. A 114.9% AD duty cash deposit rate for Tianjin Tonghe and Ningbo Homey takes effect for each company on Sept. 8.

Commerce also continued its finding that Wah Yuen Stationery Co. Ltd. and its affiliate Shandong Wah Yuen Stationery Co. Ltd. did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review. The cash deposit rate currently in effect for Wah Yuen will not change, and any entries reported to be from Wah Yuen will be assessed duties at the 114.9% China-wide rate.
For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except the three 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.
(The review period is 12/01/20 - 11/30/21. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2207180036 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
