A 167.02% AD duty cash deposit rate for the 23 companies takes effect May 17, the date these final results are scheduled to be published in the Federal Register. See the Appendix to Commerce's notice for the list of all 23 companies.
For previously investigated or reviewed Chinese or non-Chinese exporters that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate. For all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise not entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the China-wide entity (i.e., 167.02%). All non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that haven't received their own rate will be assigned a cash deposit rate is the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter.
For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except the 23 listed in the Appendix to the notice), cash deposit rates will remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company.
