Commerce continued its preliminary finding that four companies making up the RZBC group of companies -- RZBC Group Co., Ltd., RZBC Co., Ltd., RZBC Import & Export Co., Ltd., and RZBC (Juxian) Co., Ltd. -- didn't make sales at less than fair value during the May 1, 2022, through April 30, 2023, period of review, assigning them a zero percent AD cash deposit rate, effective Dec. 9.

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 any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except the RZBC group of companies), cash deposit rates will also remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the China-wide rate of 156.87% applies.

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate entries of subject merchandise from the RZBC group of companies during the period May 1, 2022, through April 30, 2023, without regard to antidumping duties.

(The review period is 05/01/22 -- 04/30/23. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2406060044 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
