China Solar Products: Commerce Lowers CV Duty Cash Deposit Rates

The Commerce Department is amending countervailing duty cash deposit rates for some exporters subject to CV duties on crystalline silicon solar products from China (C-570-011), it said in a notice implementing a recent Court of International Trade decision that invalidated rates the agency set in the final results of an administrative review it issued in 2017 (see 1709110015). Commerce is lowering cash deposit rates for Perlight and Sunny Apex as a result of the decision. Changes announced in the notice, released Aug. 14, are applicable to entries on or after that date, as follows:

Commerce is also amending CV duty rates it set for six other companies in the final results as a result of the CIT decision, but cash deposit requirements will not change for these companies because they have all had new rates set in more recent administrative reviews (see 1910220012). The changes for these six exporters will only affect importer assessments for subject merchandise entered June 10, 2014, through December 31, 2015. See Commerce's notice for the full list.
