In these preliminary results, Commerce is rescinding this review with respect to Hangzhou Zhuoxu Trading Co. Ltd. because its request for review was withdrawn.
Commerce 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, in a message to CBP (ADCVDWeb Message # 2320409).
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. It set the following preliminary rates:
| Producer/Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Zhejiang Xingyi Metal Products Co., Ltd and Xingyi Metalworking Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. | 76.95% |
| Hangzhou Evernew Machinery & Equipment Company Limited/Zhejiang Yinghong Metalworks Co., Ltd. | 239.33% |
| Kunshan Dongchu Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. | 96.31% |
| Tianjin Jia Mei Metal Furniture Ltd. | 96.31% |
| Zhejiang Focus-On Import & Export Co., Ltd. | 96.31% |
For previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise for which a review was not requested and that received a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the cash deposit rate published for the most recently completed period. For all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been given a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be 322.25%, the China-wide entity rate. For all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not received their own separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter.
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 Feb. 11, 2021, through July 31, 2022. If the preliminary results are unchanged for the final results, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries for Zhejiang Xingyi Metal and its affiliate at importer-specific rates. And entries from the other companies under review would be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The period of review is 02/11/21 - 07/31/22. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
