AD Suspension of Liquidation Continues
The ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to continue to suspend liquidation of all entries of subject merchandise from China with a time of entry on or after December 23, 2009.
AD Cash Deposit Only Requirement
The ITA will also direct CBP to require a cash deposit for entries of subject merchandise from China for the following exporter/producer combinations with a time of entry on or after June 28, 2010 (the date of the International Trade Commission’s final injury determination). The listed rates are unchanged from the final AD duty determination and reflect an adjustment for export subsidies1.
| Exporter | AD Rate (Cash Only) |
|---|---|
| Wuxi Jinyang Metal Products Co. (WJMP) | 42.42% |
| Xinhua Metal Products Co., Ltd. | 175.74% |
| Fasten Group Import & Export (Fasten Group I&E) | 175.85% |
| China-wide entity (including Tianjin Shengte, Silvery Dragon, and Tongda)2 | 193.55% |
1The ITA continues to find that subject merchandise exported by mandatory respondent Xinhua Metal benefitted from export subsidies; therefore, its AD duty rate has been adjusted for the export subsidy amount determined in the final countervailing determination. The ITA has also adjusted the AD duty rates for voluntary respondent WJMP and the separate rate respondents.
2The China-wide entity includes Tianjin Shengte; Silvery Dragon PC Steel Products Group Co., Ltd.; and Liaonin TongDa Building Material Industry Co., Ltd.
