New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect March 12
For entries on or after March 12, the date these final results were published in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD cash deposit rates. For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except those listed below), cash deposit rates will remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the China-wide rate of 76.46% applies. The new rates are as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Giti Tire Global Trading Pte. Ltd.; Giti Radial Tire (Anhui) Company Ltd.; Giti Tire (Fujian) Company Ltd.; Giti Tire (Hualin) Company, Ltd.; Giti Tire Greatwall Company. Ltd.; Giti Tire (Anhui) Company; Giti Tire (Yinchuan) Company Ltd.; and Giti Tire (Chongqing) Company Ltd. | 53.41% |
| Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd.; Sumitomo Rubber (Hunan) Co., Ltd.; and Sumitomo Rubber (Changshu) Co., Ltd. | 2.47% |
| Average rate (applicable to 12 companies) | 27.94% |
Review average rate. The 27.94% review average rate applies to 12 companies that demonstrated independence from state control but were not individually reviewed. They are: Anhui Jichi Tire Co., Ltd.; Hankook Tire China Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Hankook Tire Co., Ltd.; Koryo International Industrial Limited; Mayrun Tyre (Hong Kong) Limited; Qingdao Keter International Co., Limited; Qingdao Sentury Tire Co., Ltd.; Sentury (Hong Kong) Trading Co., Limited; Qingdao Sunfulcess Tyre Co., Ltd.; Shandong Haohua Tire Co., Ltd.; Shandong Linglong Tyre Co., Ltd.; Shandong New Continent Tire Co., Ltd.; and Shandong Province Sanli Tire Manufactured Co., Ltd.
No shipments. Commerce upheld its preliminary finding that the following eight companies did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review: Qingdao Nama Industrial Co., Ltd.; Crown International Corporation; Triangle Tyre Co., Ltd.; Prinx Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Company Ltd.; Shandong Yongsheng Rubber Group Co., Ltd; Shandong Changfeng Tyres Co., Ltd.; Shandong Duratti Rubber Corporation Co. Ltd.; and Shandong Transtone Tyre Co., Ltd. As a result, the cash deposit rates currently in effect for these companies will not change, and any entries during the period of review reported under their case numbers will be assessed duties at the China-wide rate i.e., 76.46%.
China-wide entity. Commerce also upheld its preliminary finding that the following 15 companies didn't demonstrate independence from state control and are part of the China-wide entity, with a rate of 76.46%. The companies are: Aeolus Tyre Corp., Ltd.; Double Coin Tire Ltd.; Hongtyre Group Co.; Nankang (Zhangjiagang Free Trade Zone) Rubber Industrial Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Crowntyre Industries Co., Ltd.; Shandong Habilead Rubber Co., Ltd.; Shangdong Hengfeng Rubber & Plastic Co., Ltd.; Shangdong Hengyu Science & Technology Co., Ltd.; Shangdong Longyue Rubber Co., Ltd. (aka ZODO Tire Co., Ltd.); Shangdong Yongfeng Tyres Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Tire & Rubber (Group) Ltd.; Tianjin Wanda Tyre Group Company, Ltd.; Tyrechamp Group Co., Limited; Wendeng Sanfeng Tyre Co., Ltd.; and Zhongce Rubber Group Co., Ltd.
Assessment Rates for Entries August 2021 - July 2022
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to set assessments of AD on importers of subject merchandise for entries between Aug. 1, 2021, and July 31, 2022. Commerce will liquidate entries from Giti Tire and Sumitomo during that period at importer-specific rates. Entries from the other companies under review will be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The review period is 08/01/21 - 07/31/22. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2309110072 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
