China Solar Cells: Amended Final Results of CVD Admin Review
The Commerce Department is again amending the final results of a countervailing duty administrative review on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from China (C-570-980), covering entries during the calendar year 2019 review period. It said its revision to the countervailable subsidy rates assigned to JA Solar Technology Yangzhou Co., Ltd. (JA Solar) and Risen Energy Co., Ltd. (Risen) is due to a recent Court of International Trade judgment that affected the way it calculated the rate.

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.
However, because JA Solar and Risen have superseding cash deposit rates, Commerce said it will not issue revised cash deposit instructions to CBP, and the current cash deposit rate for each of the two companies won't be affected. The amended rates, which apply for assessment purposes only for entries in calendar year 2019, are as follows;
| Producer/Exporter | CV Rate |
|---|---|
| Risen Energy Co., Ltd. and affiliates * | 7.22% |
| JA Solar Technology Yangzhou Co., Ltd. and affiliates * | 10.04% |
* Risen has 12 affiliated companies and JA Solar has 34. See the notice for a list, in footnotes, of the respective companies' affiliates.
Commerce noted that it is still enjoined by Court of International Trade order "from liquidating entries that were produced and/or exported by Risen and JA Solar, and were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019. These entries will remain enjoined pursuant to the terms of the injunction during the pendency of any appeals process."
(The review period is 01/01/19 - 12/31/19. See Commerce's notice for more information. See 2209090045 for a summary of the last amended results and 2201060012 for the preliminary results of the calendar year 2019 administrative review on solar cells from China.)
