The revocations and AD cash deposit rates for the listed exporters are as follows:
| Exporter | AD Cash Deposit Rate |
| Ningbo Dafa Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. (Ningo) | (see note) |
| Cixi Santai Chemical Fiber Co. (Cixi) | (see note) |
| Hangzhou Sanxin Paper Co., Ltd. | 4.44% |
| Zhaoqing Tifo New Fiber Co., Ltd. | 4.44% |
| Huvis Sichuan Chemical Fiber Corporation | 4.44% |
| Zhejiang Waysun Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. | 4.44% |
Note: These two companies were found to have zero margins for this review period and are being revoked from the order due to prior zero margins also, etc. The ITA states that the order is only revoked when the company is both manufacturer and exporter. An ITA official stated on 11/17/11 that if Ningbo or Cixi is the producer but not the exporter, then the AD cash deposit rate of the exporter applies. If Ningbo or Cixi is the exporter of another producer's products, the ITA official speculated that the China-wide entity rate applies.
(The review period is 06/01/09 - 05/31/10. See ITA notice for more information, including the complete AD revocation in part and AD cash deposit instructions, the AD duty assessment instructions for entries in the review period, the scope of the order, etc. See ITT's Online Archives or 07/08/11 news 11070869 for summary of the preliminary results of this review.)
