New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Feb. 15
For entries on or after Feb. 15, when these final results are set to be published 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:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Neimenggu Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd. (aka Inner Mongolia Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd.)/Shandong Fufeng Fermentation Co., Ltd./Xinjiang Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd | 17.36% |
| Deosen Biochemical Ltd./Deosen Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd. | 17.36% |
| Meihua Group International Trading (Hong Kong) Limited/Langfang Meihua Biotechnology Co., Ltd./Xinjiang Meihua Amino Acid Co., Ltd. | 17.36% |
| Jianlong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (formerly, Inner Mongolia Jianlong Biochemical Co., Ltd) | 17.36% |
No shipments. Commerce continued its preliminary finding that Shanghai Smart Chemicals Co., Ltd. did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review, so the cash deposit rates currently in effect for Shanghai Smart will not change, and any entries reported to be from this company will be assessed duties at the 154.07% China-wide rate.
Assessment Rates for Entries July 2020 - June 2021
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to calculate assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise for entries between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021. Commerce will liquidate entries during that period for Neimenggu Fufeng and affiliated companies at importer-specific rates. Importers of subject merchandise exported by the other companies under review will be assessed AD duties at the rates listed above.
(The review period is 07/01/20 - 06/30/21. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2208070008 for the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
