China Activated Carbon: Commerce Lowers AD Duty Cash Deposit Rate for Cherishmet

The Commerce Department is amending the antidumping duty cash deposit rate for an exporter subject to AD duties on activated carbon from China (C-570-904), 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 2019 (see 1912170021). Commerce is decreasing the AD duty cash deposit rates for Ningxia Guanghua Cherishmet Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. from 89 cents/kg to 61 cents/kg as a result of the decision, according to the notice released Oct. 29. The change is applicable to entries on or after Nov. 1.

Commerce is also amending AD duty rates it set for five other companies in the final results as a result of the CIT decision -- Carbon Activated Tianjin Co., Ltd.; Datong Juqiang Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.; Beijing Pacific Activated Carbon Products Co., Ltd.; Ningxia Mineral & Chemical Ltd.; and Shanxi Sincere Industrial Co., Ltd. -- but cash deposit requirements will not change for these companies because they have all had new rates set in more recent administrative reviews (see 2102190037). The changes for these five exporters will affect only importer assessments for subject merchandise entered April 1, 2017, through March 31, 2018.
