China Kitchen Appliance Shelving & Racks: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The International Trade Administration issued the final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain kitchen appliance shelving and racks from China (A-570-941) which sets an AD cash deposit rate for three exporters and rescinds the AD administrative review with respect to one exporter1. The rates, which are effective April 11, 2012, are expected to be implemented by U.S. Customs and Border Protection soon.
| Exporter | AD Cash Deposit Rate2 |
| Guangdong Wireking Housewares & Hardware Co., Ltd. (a/k/a Foshan Shunde Wireking Housewares & Hardware Co., Ltd.) | 7.89% |
| New King Shan (Zhu Hai) Co., Ltd. | zero |
| Hangzhou Dunli Import & Export Co., Ltd. | 7.89% |
| China-wide entity3 | 95.99% |
(The review period is 03/05/09 -- 08/31/10. See ITA's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, the AD China-wide rate of 95.99%4 for all exporters not entitled to a separate rate, changes since preliminary results, etc.)
1The ITA found that Hengtong Hardware Manufacturer (Huizhou) Co., Ltd. had no shipments of subject merchandise during the period of review, and as such rescinded the administrative review with respect to that company.
2The ITA said that, as it determined in its final results of the companion countervailing duty administrative review that NKS and Wireking's merchandise benefited from export subsidies, it increased each company's constructed export price (which, in effect, lowers the AD rate) to compensate for countervailing duties imposed that are attributable to export subsidies, where appropriate.
3The China-wide entity includes all Chinese exporters that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, as well as Jiangsu Weixi Group Co., which was initially selected as a mandatory respondent and did not respond to the ITA's AD questionnaire, and Asia Pacific CIS (Wuxi) Co., Ltd. and Leader Metal Industry Co., Ltd., companies upon which the ITA initiated administrative reviews and did not submit either a separate rate application or certification.
4Although the ITA states in the "cash deposit requirements" section of its notice that, for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the China-wide rate of 206%, ITA sources confirm that the correct rate for non-separate rate companies is 95.99%.
