Additionally, for any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except those listed above), cash deposit rates will also 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.
Commerce will assess AD duties at 216.37% for importers of subject merchandise from the China-wide entity companies entered Aug. 1, 2020, through July 31, 2021. A cash deposit rate of 216.37% will take effect for them Dec. 22, the date these final results are to be published in the Federal Register. For the companies that Commerce determined had no shipments of the subject merchandise during the review period, any suspended entries of subject merchandise that entered under any of these exporters’ CBP case numbers during the review period will be liquidated at the China-wide rate.
(The review period is 08/01/20 - 07/31/21. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2209010040 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
