India Off-Road Tires: Amended Final Results of CVD Admin Review

The Commerce Department is amending the original final results of its countervailing duty administrative review on certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires from India (C-533-870) to correct ministerial errors in the calculation of the duty rates for two mandatory respondents and companies not selected for individual review. The agency calculated new CVD cash deposit rates for the 29 companies under review, with slight changes to the original final calculations. These amended final results, effective Feb. 10, will be used to set final assessments of CVD on importers for entries during calendar year 2022.

However, the net effect of the recalculations is that the rate for ATC Tires Private Limited remained at the 1.7% CVD rate, and while the rate for Balkrishna Industries Ltd. moved from 0.34% to 0.39%, that new rate is still considered zero percent (de minimis), and the review average CVD rate for the 27 non-individually examined companies remains 1.7%.

The new CVD cash deposit rates for the producers and exporters subject to this review, which also will apply for importer assessment purposes, are as follows and in effect unchanged from the original final results:

Producer/ExporterCVD Rate
ATC Tires Private Limited / ATC Tires AP Private Limited1.7%
Balkrishna Industries Ltd.zero
Non-individually Reviewed (Applicable to 27 companies)1.7%

Review average rate. The review average rate is applicable to 27 companies, which are listed in the Appendix to the amended final results notice.

No cash deposit will be required on shipments from Balkrishna of the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of this review.

For exporters of subject merchandise that wasn't under review (i.e., all those not listed above), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own CVD rate, but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate applies.

(The review period is 01/01/22 - 12/31/22.
