Thailand Truck and Bus Tire: Details of AD Order
The Commerce Department issued an antidumping duty order on truck and bus tires from Thailand (A-549-848). The order sets permanent antidumping duties, which will remain in place unless revoked by Commerce in a sunset or changed circumstances review. Commerce now will begin conducting annual administrative reviews, if requested, to determine final assessments of AD on importers and make changes to cash deposit rates.

The order details a six-day “gap period” of no AD liability for subject merchandise entered Nov. 16 - Dec. 6, 2024. Commerce may only suspend liquidation for six months after its preliminary AD determination, issued May 20, 2024, without the ITC having found injury. Commerce will order CBP to liquidate, without regard to duties, any entries during this gap period.
Commerce will order the refund of all AD cash deposits collected on truck and bus tires from Thailand entered before May 20, 2024, because the ITC reversed Commerce's findings of critical circumstances and retroactive collection of cash deposits.
AD Suspension of Liquidation Instructions
Suspension of liquidation resumes for all entries of subject merchandise from Thailand entered on or after Dec. 6, the date that the final ITC affirmative injury determination was published.
AD Cash Deposit Instructions
An AD cash deposit requirement also is back in effect for subject merchandise entered on or after Dec 6, equal to the rates listed below:
| Exporter/Producer | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Bridgestone Corporation | 48.39% |
| Prinx Chengshan Tire (Thailand) Co., Ltd. | 12.33% |
| China-wide Entity | 12.33% |
(See the notice for additional details, including the full scope description, etc. See 2410160047 for a summary of the final AD determination.)
