New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Nov. 9
For entries on or after Nov. 9, 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 |
|---|---|
| Datong Juqiang Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. | zero |
| Jilin Bright Future Chemicals Co., Ltd. | 0.62% |
| Carbon Activated Tianjin Co., Ltd. | 0.62% |
| Datong Municipal Yunguang Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. | 0.62% |
| Ningxia Guanghua Cherishmet Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. | 0.62% |
| Ningxia Huahui Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. (formerly Ningxia Huahui Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.) | 0.62% |
| Ningxia Mineral & Chemical Limited | 0.62% |
| Shanxi Industry Technology Trading Co., Ltd. | 0.62% |
| Shanxi Sincere Industrial Co., Ltd. | 0.62% |
| Tancarb Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. | 0.62% |
China-wide. Commerce found that six companies for which a review was requested did not establish eligibility for a separate rate, and as such, assigned the six companies to the China-wide entity. They are: Jacobi Carbons AB/Tianjin Jacobi International Trade Co., Ltd./Jacobi Carbons Industry (Tianjin) Co., Ltd./Jacobi Adsorbent Materials; Meadwestvaco Trading (Shanghai); Shanxi DMD Corp.; Shanxi Tianxi Purification Filter Co., Ltd.; Sinoacarbon International Trading Co., Ltd.; and Tianjin Maijin Industries Co., Ltd.
No shipments. Commerce continued to find that another three companies -- Beijing Pacific Activated Carbon Products Co., Ltd., Shanxi Dapu International Trade Co., Ltd, and Tianjin Channel Filters Co., Ltd. -- had no shipments of subject merchandise during the review period. As a result, the cash deposit rates currently in effect for these three companies will not change, and any entries during the period of review reported under their case numbers will be assessed duties at the $2.42/kg China-wide rate.
Assessment Rates for Entries April 2020 - March 2021
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, 2020, and March 31, 2021. Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate entries during the period from Datong Juqiang without regard to antidumping duties. Commerce will calculate importer-specific rates for entries from Jilin Bright. Entries from all other exporters covered by this review will be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The review period is 04/01/20 - 03/31/21. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2205060042 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
