For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the three companies listed in the table below), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own AD rate but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the “all others” rate of 11.25% applies.

New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Aug. 7

For entries on or after Aug. 7, the date these final results are scheduled to be published in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates for the following companies:

ExporterAD Rate
COFCO Biochemical (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (COFCO)zero
Sunshine Biotech International Co., Ltd.0.78%
Xitrical Group Co., Ltd.0.78%

Assessment Rates for Entries July 2021 - June 2022

Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to calculate assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise for entries July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022. The agency will not assess AD on entries from COFCO during that period, and will assess AD on entries from the other companies under review at the rates listed above.

(The review period is 07/01/21 - 06/30/22. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2304060050 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
