The amended final determination does not change the zero rate for metal lockers produced by Hangzhou Jusheng Metal Products Co., Ltd. and exported by Hangzhou Xline Machinery & Equipment Co., Ltd., so metal lockers produced by Hangzhou Jusheng and exported by Hangzhou Xline will remain exempt from the AD order on metal lockers from China.
The China-wide entity rate of 322.25% (311.71% as adjusted for cash deposit purposes) is also unchanged.
Rather, the changes affect rates for Zhejiang Xingyi Metal Products Co., Ltd. and Xingyi Metalworking Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd., as well as the non-individually investigated companies that were assigned Zhejiang Xinyi's AD rate. The new rates, effective Oct. 8, are as follows:
