Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
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for entries during the period of review from all exporters for which a review was not requested or review requests were withdrawn (ADCVDWeb Message # 2319419).
In these preliminary results, Commerce is rescinding this review of four companies -- Hangzhou Zhuoxu Trading Co., Ltd.; Kunshan Dongchu Precision Machinery Co., Ltd.; Pinghu Chengda Storage Office Co., Ltd.; and Tianjin Jia Mei Metal Furniture Ltd. -- because requests for their review were withdrawn. Entries from these companies will also be liquidated as entered.
Cash Deposit Requirements
New CVD cash deposit requirements may take effect for the following companies 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 | 2020 Rate (Prelim)* | CVD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|---|
| Xingyi Metalworking Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd.; Zhejiang Xingyi Metal Products Co., Ltd | 25.78% | 31.81% |
| Hangzhou Evernew Machinery & Equipment Company Limited | 25.78% | 31.81% |
| Hangzhou Xline Machinery & Equipment Co. Ltd | 25.78% | 31.81% |
*This rate is for assessment purposes only for subject merchandise entered Dec. 14, 2020, through Dec. 31, 2020. The rate listed in the “CVD Rate” column is the assessment rate for entries in calendar year 2021, as well as the CVD rate for cash deposit purposes.
(The period of review is 12/14/20 - 12/31/21. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
