Five companies requested review, then Zhejiang Amerisun Technology Co., Ltd (Zhejiang Amerisun) and Zhejiang Dobest Power Tools Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Dobest) withdrew their requests for review. Commerce is rescinding the review for the two companies.
Only the exporters for which an administrative review was requested are covered by this review. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters will not change. Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” for entries during the period of review from all exporters for which a review was not requested or review requests were withdrawn (ADCVDWeb Message # 2286402).
Cash Deposit Requirements
New CV duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for the following company beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register, currently scheduled for December. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following CV duty cash deposit rate:
| Producer/Exporter | CV Rate 2020 (Prelim) | CV Rate 2021 (Prelim) |
|---|---|---|
| Ningbo Daye Garden Machinery Co., Ltd. and related affiliates Zhejiang Jindaye Holdings Limited and Ningbo Lingyue | 10.58% | 9.46% |
For the companies for which Commerce rescinded this administrative review, it will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, during the period Oct. 30, 2020, through Dec. 31, 2021.
Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amounts indicated for the producers/exporters listed above for 2021, the second year covered by the period of review, on shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of this review.
(The period of review is 10/30/20 - 12/31/21. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
