New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect April 20
For entries on or after April 20, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates. Companies that didn't get a rate in this review will continue to get the cash deposit rate set in the most recent previous administrative review, and companies that have never been assigned an AD rate will get the China-wide rate. The new rates are as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Xuzhou Xugong Tyres Co., Ltd., Armour Rubber Company Ltd., or Xuzhou Hanbang Tyre Co., Ltd. | 65.33% |
| Qingdao Qihang Tyre Co., Ltd. | 79.86% |
| Qingdao Free Trade Zone Full-World International Trading Co., Ltd. | 70.55% |
| Tianjin Leviathan International Trade Co., Ltd. | 70.55% |
| Trelleborg Wheel Systems (Xingtai) China, Co. Ltd. | 70.55% |
| Weihai Zhongwei Rubber Co., Ltd. | 70.55% |
China-wide rate. Commerce found Qingdao Haojia (Xinhai) Tyre Co. did not demonstrate independence from government control, and assigned it to the China-wide entity with a rate of 105.31%.
No shipments. Commerce found Zhongce Rubber Group Company Limited and Trelleborg Wheel Systems Hebei Co had no exports to the U.S. during the period of review, so these companies' AD duty rates will remain at the most recent rate set for each company.
Assessment Rates For Entries September 2013 - August 2014
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to calculate assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise from companies under review for entries from Aug. 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014. The agency will calculate importer-specific assessment rates for entries of subject merchandise from Xugong and Qihang. Entries from Full-World, Leviathan, Trelleborg Xingtai, Zhongwei and Haojia will be assessed AD duties at the rates listed above, 70.55% and 105.31%, respectively. Any shipments entered under case numbers for the "no shipments" companies will be liquidated at the 105.31% China-wide rate.
(The review period is 09/01/13 -- 08/31/14. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1510080063 for summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
