Commerce will order liquidation “as entered” at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry for subject merchandise from exporters for which a review was not requested (ADCVDWeb Message # 3332405).
In these preliminary results, Commerce is ending its review of 14 companies -- listed in Appendix III of the notice -- because these companies' requests for review were withdrawn. Entries during the period of review from these 14 companies will also be liquidated “as entered.” Commerce also said there are five companies for which a review was requested that had no reviewable suspended entries during the review period, and that it is ending the review with respect to those five companies, which also are listed in Appendix III. Their AD rates will not change. The agency will continue to review Shandong Linglong Tyre Co., Ltd. (not in the list of five), which indicated that it did have reviewable entries during the period, in contrast to the CBP data used to determine the no suspended entries label for the companies in question.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD cash deposit requirements may take effect for the companies still under review, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty cash deposit rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Jiangsu General Science Technology Co., Ltd. | 28.76% |
| Qingdao Transamerica Tire Industrial Co., Ltd. | 28.76% |
| Winrun Tyre Co., Ltd. | 28.76% |
| Zhaoqing Junhong Co., Ltd | 28.76% |
China-wide entity. Commerce preliminarily found that Shandong Hongsheng Rubber Technology Co., Ltd. (Shandong Hongsheng) and Shandong Haohua Tire Co., Ltd. (Shandong Haohua), along with seven other companies, did not demonstrate independence from state control and are part of the China-wide entity, with a rate of 76.46%. The other seven companies are: Kinforest Tyre Co., Ltd., Qingdao Fullrun Tyre Tech Corp., Ltd., Qingdao Powerich Tyre Co., Ltd., Qingdao Vitour United Corp., Shandong Wanda Boto Tyre Co., Ltd., Tianjin Wanda Tyre Group Co., Ltd., and Zhongce Rubber Group Company, Ltd.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the AD duties it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between Aug. 1, 2022, and July 31, 2023. If these preliminary results are unchanged, Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates for entries from Zhaoqing Junhong, and will liquidate entries from other entries during that period at the rates listed above.
(The period of review is 08/01/22 - 07/31/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
