China Cased Pencils: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department has released the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on cased pencils from China (A-570-827). The agency preliminarily found three companies under review, Wah Yuen Stationery Co. Ltd./Shandong Wah Yuen Stationery Co. Ltd., Tianjin Tonghe Stationery Co., Ltd. and Ningbo Homey Union Co., Ltd., either did not qualify for or did not file for a separate rate, and tentatively assigned them to the China-wide entity with an AD rate of 114.9%. If these preliminary results are adopted unchanged, Commerce will in its final results assess AD duties at 114.9% for importers of subject merchandise from Wah Yuen, Tianjin Tonghe and Ningbo Homey entered Dec. 1, 2021, through Nov. 30, 2022. A cash deposit rate of 114.9% would take effect for these three companies upon publication of the final results in the Federal Register.
