AD Cash Deposit Requirements
The ITA will also instruct CBP to collect AD duty cash deposits or bonds on all entries of subject merchandise from Taiwan with a time of entry on or after July 19, 2010 at the revised AD duty rates below.
| Manufacturer/Exporter | Final AD Rate |
| Dear Year Brothers Mfg. Co., Ltd. | 0.00% (unchanged)1 |
| Roung Shu Industry Corporation | 4.37% (from 4.54%) |
| Shienq Huong Enterprise Co., Ltd./Hsien Chan Enterprise Co., Ltd./Novelty Handicrafts Co., Ltd. | 0.00% (unchanged)1 |
| All Others | 4.37% (from 4.54%) |
