China Solar Cells: Commerce Amends AD Rate for Three Exporters

The Commerce Department will decrease antidumping duty cash deposit rates in effect for three exporters of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from China (A-570-979), implementing a recent Court of International Trade decision that ordered Commerce to recalculate rates set in an administrative review completed in 2016, it said. As a result of its recalculation, AD duty cash deposit rates for BYD (Shangluo) Industrial Co., Ltd., Dongguan Sunworth Solar Energy Co., Ltd., and Shenzhen Glory Industries Co., Ltd., will fall to 3.96% (from 8.52%). The new rate will apply to subject merchandise entered on or after Dec. 23, 2018.

Commerce is also amending AD rates it set for 14 other companies as a result of the CIT decision, but cash deposit requirements will not change for these companies because they have all had new rates set in more recent administrative reviews. The changes will only affect importer assessments for entries in 2013-14 from these exporters. See Commerce's notice for the full list.
