China Car and Truck Tires: Amended Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department is amending the final results of an antidumping duty administrative review on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China (A-570-016), to correct a ministerial error in its calculation for the AD rate for entries of subject merchandise from the one mandatory respondent, the Giti Tire group of companies, during the period Aug. 1, 2021, through July 31, 2022.

The original final results were effective March 12, with Giti assigned a 53.41% AD rate. After the final results were published, Giti's comments on them led Commerce to conclude it made a ministerial error in its calculation of the AD rate, which resulted in the adjustment that now assigns Giti an AD rate of 20.52%, effective April 15.
Because Giti's rate is used in averaging to derive a rate for the 12 non-individually examined companies subject to the review, the review average rate also changes, from 27.94% to 11.5%. The 12 companies 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.
The rate for Sumitomo Rubber is unaffected by this amendment.
