Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry for subject merchandise from exporters for which a review was not requested (ADCVDWeb Message # 2203408).
In these preliminary results, Commerce is also ending the review for 11 companies that had their requests for review withdrawn, as follows: Anhui Maximum Aluminum Industries Company Ltd.; Alcha International Holdings Limited; Granges Aluminum (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.; Hunan Suntown Marketing Limited; Jiangsu Huafeng Aluminum Industry Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Zhongji Lamination Materials Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Zhongji Lamination Materials Co., (HK) Ltd.; Suntown Technology Group Corporation Limited; Xiamen Xiashun Aluminum Foil Co., Ltd.; Yinbang Clad Materials Co., Ltd.; and Walson (HK) Trading Co., Limited.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty cash deposit rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Dingsheng Aluminium Industries (Hong Kong) Trading Co., Ltd. / Hangzhou Dingsheng Import & Export Co., Ltd. / Hangzhou Five Star Aluminium Co., Ltd. / Hangzhou Teemful Aluminium Co., Ltd. / Inner Mongolia Liansheng New Energy Material Co./Inner Mongolia Xinxing New Energy Material Co., Ltd | 32.85% |
No shipments. Commerce found that Shanghai Shenyan Packaging Materials Co., Ltd. did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review. As a result, the cash deposit rates currently in effect for this company will not change, and any entries during the period of review reported under its case number will be assessed duties at the 105.8% China-wide rate. It will remain under review for the final results.
China-wide entity. Commerce preliminarily found Shanghai Huafon Aluminium Corporation did not demonstrate independence from state control and is part of the China-wide entity, with a rate of 105.8%.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the AD it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between April 1, 2021, and March 31, 2022. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from Dingsheng and its affiliates will be liquidated at importer-specific rates, and entries from the other companies subject to this review would be assessed AD at the rates listed above.
(The period of review is 04/01/21 - 03/31/22. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
