Commerce said it made changes to the margin calculations for Zhaoqing Junhong Co., Ltd after the preliminary results of this review were published in September 2024, and comments were received. The 28.76% rate calculated for the company in the preliminary results moved to 67.87% in the final results.
The agency also continued to review for the final results Shandong Linglong Tyre Co., Ltd., which indicated that it did have reviewable entries during the period, in contrast to the CBP data used to determine there were no suspended entries for several companies for which a review had been requested. It found that Shandong did have reviewable entries, and that it was eligible for a separate rate.
New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect May 7
For entries on or after May 7, the date these final results were published in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD duty 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 applies. The new rates are as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Jiangsu General Science Technology Co., Ltd. | 67.87% |
| Qingdao Transamerica Tire Industrial Co., Ltd. | 67.87% |
| Shandong Linglong Tyre Co., Ltd. | 67.87% |
| Winrun Tyre Co., Ltd. | 67.87% |
| Zhaoqing Junhong Co., Ltd | 67.87% |
China-wide entity. Commerce upheld in the final results its preliminary finding that Shandong Hongsheng Rubber Technology Co., Ltd. (Shandong Hongsheng) and Shandong Haohua Tire Co., Ltd. (Shandong Haohua), along with seven other companies, didn't 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 for Entries August 2022 - July 2023
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to set assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise for entries between Aug. 1, 2022, and July 31, 2023. 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.
