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.
For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except Taizhou), 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, the China-wide rate of 221.06% applies.
Commerce also found Zhejiang Sanmei Chemical Ind. Co., Ltd., the only other exporter remaining under review, had no shipments of subject merchandise during the review period. Therefore, Commerce rescinded the review with respect to Zhejiang Sanmei, whose cash deposit rate won't change as a result of this review, and any entries under its case numbers during the review period will be liquidated without AD.
(The review period is 08/27/20 - 02/28/22. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2304060057 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
