Commerce has 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 (ADCVDWeb Message # 3165414).
In these preliminary results, Commerce is also ending the review for two companies -- Huantai Dongyue International Trade Co., Ltd. and Shandong Dongyue Chemical Co., Ltd. -- after their requests for review were withdrawn.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty 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 duty cash deposit rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Zhejiang Sanmei Chemical Ind. Co., Ltd.; Fujian Qingliu Dongying Chemical Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Sanmei Chemical Ind. Co., Ltd. | 24.62% |
| Zhejiang Yonghe Refrigerant Co., Ltd.; Jinhua Yonghe Fluorine Chemical Co., Ltd.; Inner Mongolia Yonghe Fluorochemical Co., Ltd.; Shaowu Yonghe Jintang New Material Co., Ltd. | 281.3% |
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the antidumping duties it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between Aug. 17, 2021, and Feb. 28, 2023. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, entries from the Sanmei and Yonghe companies would be assessed AD at importer-specific rates. Entries from any other companies would be liquidated at the China-wide rate of 267.51%.
(The period of review is 08/17/21 - 02/28/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
