Commerce is also conducting concurrent antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on gas powered pressure washers from China, and issued its CV duty preliminary determination for China on June 5 (see 2306020016).
AD Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements
Effective for entries on or after March 17, 2023, Commerce will suspend liquidation, and require AD duty cash deposits, at the following AD rates:
| Producer/Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Vietnam-wide Entity* | 225.65% |
*As Commerce found no Vietnamese exporters demonstrated independence from Vietnamese government control, this rate applies to all exporters in Vietnam.
(The period of investigation is 04/01/22 - 09/30/22. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope, suspension of liquidation, detailed cash deposit instructions, etc. See 2301240018 for a summary of initiation of this investigation.)
