Based on comments received after the release of the preliminary results of this review, Commerce made certain changes to the calculations that affected the final rates, dropping them significantly for Jiangsu Nova (from 50.31% to 11.44%) and the review average rate companies, and slightly for the other mandatory respondent, Ningbo.

For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the companies listed below), cash deposit rates will remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the China-wide rate of 144.5% applies.

New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect April 10

For entries on or after April 10, the date of publication of the final results of each review in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD cash deposit rates for subject merchandise produced or exported by the following companies:

ExporterAD Rate
Jiangsu Nova Intelligent Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd.11.44%
Ningbo Xinguang Rack Co., Ltd./Ningbo Jiabo Rack Co., Ltd./Ningbo Lede Hardware Co., Ltd.26.9%
Jiangsu JISE Intelligent Storage Equipment Co., Ltd.12.73%
Nanjing Kingmore Logistics Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd.12.73%

No shipments. Commerce also made a final determination that Hebei Minmetals Co., Ltd. and Xiamen Luckyroc Industry Co., Ltd. had no shipments during the period under review. Cash deposit rates for Hebei Minmetals and Luckyroc will not change, and any entries under these two companies' case numbers will be liquidated at the China-wide rate.

China-wide rate. Commerce continued to find that Nanjing Dongsheng Shelf Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Nanjing Ironstone Storage Equipment Co., Ltd. did not qualify for separate rate status, making them part of the China-wide entity.

Assessment Rates for Entries in September 2021 - August 2022

Commerce will assess AD on imports from Jiangsu Nova and Xinguang Rack entered Sept. 1, 2021, through Aug. 30, 2022, at importer-specific rates, and will assess AD on entries from the other companies remaining in the review during that period at the rates listed above.

(The review period is 09/01/21 - 08/30/22. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2310050039 for a summary of the preliminary results of the AD administrative review.)
