Commerce said it revised its preliminary margin calculation for the one mandatory respondent, Wuyi Xilinde, resulting in a lower rate in the final results, i.e., a drop from 178.51% to 150.37%.

In these final results, Commerce said it's rescinding this administrative review with respect to Ningbo Eagle Machinery & Technology Co., Ltd., for no shipments during the review period and no comments from interested parties about Commerce's intent to rescind the review for Ningbo. Antidumping duties for Ningbo will be assessed at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption.

New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Oct. 17

For entries on or after Oct. 17, the date these final results were published in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD cash deposit rates for some companies. Exporters that didn't get a rate in this review will continue to get the cash deposit rate set for the respective company in the most recent previous administrative review, and exporters that have never been assigned an AD rate will continue to be subject to the China-wide rate, which is 112.21%. The new rates are as follows:

ExporterAD Rate
Wuyi Xilinde Machinery Manufacture Co., Ltd.150.37%

Assessment Rates for Entries May 2022 - April 2023

Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to calculate assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise for entries May 1, 2022, through April 30, 2023. Commerce will calculate importer-specific rates for entries from Wuyi Xilinde. Entries from all other exporters covered by this review will be liquidated at the rates listed above. For all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter.

(The review period is 05/01/22 - 04/30/23. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2406060061 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
