Commerce said it is rescinding the review for 26 companies because petitioner Elkay Manufacturing Company withdrew its request for their review.
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 Messages # 2196406).
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) |
|---|---|
| Guangdong Dongyuan Kitchenware Industrial Co., Ltd. | 9.52% |
| Guangdong Yingao Kitchen Utensils Co., Ltd. | 36.53% |
China-wide. Commerce said Shenzhen Kehuaxing Industrial Ltd. did not demonstrate independence from state control, or otherwise did not respond to Commerce Department questionnaires, and assigned it to the China-wide entity with a rate of 76.45%.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the AD duties it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between April 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from Dongyuan and Yingao would be liquidated at importer-specific assessment rates.
(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.)
