The Commerce Department is amending countervailing duty cash deposit rates for some exporters subject to CV duties on crystalline silicon solar cells from China (C-570-980), it said in a notice implementing a recent Court of International Trade decision that invalidated rates the agency set in the final results of an administrative review it issued in 2018 (see 1807200007 and 1810290015).

| Company | CV Rate |
|---|---|
| Canadian Solar International, Ltd. | 4.22% |
| ET Solar Industry Limited | 4.22% |
| Hangzhou Zhejiang University Sunny Energy Science and Technology Co., Ltd. | 4.22% |
Commerce is also amending CV duty rates it set for 41 other companies in the final results as a result of the CIT decision, but cash deposit requirements will not change for these companies (which include Canadian Solar Inc., ET Solar Energy Limited and Hangzhou Sunny Energy) because they have all had new rates set in more recent administrative reviews (see 1908270017 and 1912120048). The changes for these 41 exporters will affect only importer assessments for subject merchandise entered in calendar year 2015. See Commerce's notice for the full list.
