New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Nov. 7
For entries on or after Nov. 7, Commerce is setting new AD duty 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. The new rates are as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Jacobi Carbons AB/Tianjin Jacobi International Trading Co. Ltd./Jacobi Carbons Industry (Tianjin) | $0.22/kg |
| Datong Juqiang Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. | zero |
| Beijing Pacific Activated Carbon Products Co., Ltd. | $0.22/kg |
| Carbon Activated Tianjin Co., Ltd. | $0.22/kg |
| Datong Municipal Yunguang Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. | $0.22/kg |
| Jilin Bright Future Chemicals Company, Ltd. | $0.22/kg |
| Ningxia Guanghua Cherishmet Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. | $0.22/kg |
| Ningxia Huahui Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. | $0.22/kg |
| Ningxia Mineral and Chemical Limited | $0.22/kg |
| Shanxi Industry Technology Trading Co., Ltd. | $0.22/kg |
| Shanxi Sincere Industrial Co., Ltd. | $0.22/kg |
| Shanxi Tianxi Purification Filter Co., Ltd. | $0.22/kg |
| Tancarb Activated Carbon Co., Ltd | $0.22/kg |
| Tianjin Channel Filters Co., Ltd | $0.22/kg |
| Tianjin Maijin Industries Co., Ltd. | $0.22/kg |
China-wide rate. Commerce found 186 companies subject to this review did not demonstrate independence from government control, and assigned them the $2.42/kg China-wide entity rate. See Commerce's notice for a full list.
No shipments. Commerce found Calgon Carbon (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., Sinoacarbon International Trading Co., Ltd., and Shanxi Dapu International Trade Co., Ltd. had no exports to the U.S. during the period of review, so their AD duty cash deposit rates will not change. Any entries under its case number during the period of review will be liquidated at the $2.42/kg China-wide rate.
Assessment Rates for Entries April 2015 - March 2016
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to calculate assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise for entries between April 1, 2015, and March 31, 2016. Entries from Datong Juqiang will be liquidated without regard to AD duties. Commerce will calculate importer-specific rates for entries from Jacobi Carbons. Entries from all other exporters covered by this review will be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The review period is 04/01/15 -- 03/31/16. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1705050037 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
