The agency continued to find, as in its preliminary results, that 14 companies did not demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate, and assigned them to the China-wide entity with an AD rate of 183.36%. Importers of subject merchandise from these 14 companies entered between Jan. 1, 2021, and Dec. 31, 2021, will be assessed AD duties at that 183.36% rate.
The new 183.36% AD duty cash deposit rate takes effect Feb. 17 for the following companies: Anhui Hoda Wood Co., Ltd.; Happy Wood Industrial Group Co., Ltd.; Jiaxing Hengtong Wood Co., Ltd.; Linyi Chengen Import and Export Co., Ltd.; Linyi Glary Plywood Co., Ltd.; Linyi Jiahe Wood Industry Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Top P&Q International Corp.; Shanghai Brightwood Trading Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Futuwood Trading Co., Ltd.; Suzhou Oriental Dragon Import and Export Co., Ltd.; Xuzhou Jiangheng Wood Products Co., Ltd.; Xuzhou Jiangyang Wood Industries Co., Ltd.; Xuzhou Timber International Trade Co., Ltd.; and Zhejiang Dehua TB Import & Export Co., Ltd.
Additionally, Commerce made no changes to its preliminary finding that six other companies had no shipments during the period under review. Confirming these findings in its final results, Commerce said the current AD duty cash deposit rates in effect for these six companies will not change as a result of this review. Any subject merchandise entered under the AD duty case numbers for these six companies will be liquidated at the 183.36% China-wide rate. These six companies are: Cosco Star International Co., Ltd.; Linyi Evergreen Wood Co., Ltd.; Linyi Huasheng Yongbin Wood Co., Ltd.; Linyi Sanfortune Wood Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Luli Trading Co., Ltd.; and Suqian Hopeway International Trade Co., Ltd.
For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except those 20 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 of 183.36% applies.
(The review period is 01/01/21 - 12/31/21. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2210140065 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
