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 Messages # 3018401).
Because their requests for review were timely withdrawn, Commerce also is rescinding the review for the following four companies: Guangdong Wireking Housewares and Hardware Co., Ltd.; Suzhou (China) Sunshine Hardware & Equipment Imp. & Exp. Co. Ltd.; Jiangsu Starshine Industry Equipment Co., Ltd. (Starshine); and Suntop (Xiamen) Display System Inc.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD cash deposit rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Jiangsu Nova Intelligent Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd. | 50.31% |
| Ningbo Xinguang Rack Co., Ltd./Ningbo Jiabo Rack Co., Ltd./Ningbo Lede Hardware Co., Ltd. | 27.59% |
| Jiangsu JISE Intelligent Storage Equipment Co., Ltd. | 48.41% |
| Nanjing Kingmore Logistics Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. | 48.41% |
China-wide. Commerce said two companies did not demonstrate independence from state control, or otherwise did not respond to Commerce Department questionnaires, and assigned these companies to the China-wide entity with a rate of 144.5%. The companies are: Nanjing Dongsheng Shelf Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Nanjing Ironstone Storage Equipment Co., Ltd.
No shipments. Commerce preliminarily found that two companies -- Hebei Minmetals Co., Ltd. and Xiamen Luckyroc Industry Co., Ltd. (Luckyroc) -- did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review. The cash deposit rates currently in effect for these companies will not change, and any entries during the period of review reported under their case numbers will be assessed duties at the 144.5% China-wide rate.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the AD it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between Sept. 1, 2021, and Aug. 31, 2022. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, Commerce will assess AD on entries from Jiangsu Nova and Xinguang Rack during that period at importer-specific rates. Importers of subject merchandise from the other exporters under review would be assessed AD at the rates listed above.
(The period of review is 09/01/21 - 08/31/22. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
