New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect March 16
For entries on or after March 16, 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 |
|---|---|
| Giti Tire Global Trading Pte. Ltd./Giti Tire (USA) Ltd./Giti Radial Tire (Anhui) Company Ltd./ Giti Tire (Fujian) Company Ltd./Giti Tire (Hualin) Company Ltd./Giti Tire Greatwall Company, Ltd./ Giti Tire (Anhui) Company, Ltd./ Giti Tire (Yinchuan) Company, Ltd./ Giti Tire (Chongqing) Company, Ltd. | 1.5% |
| Qingdao Sentury Tire Co., Ltd./Sentury Tire USA Inc./Sentury (Hong Kong) Trading Co., Limited | 4.41% |
| Review Average Rate (applicable to 63 companies) | 2.96% |
Review average rate. Commerce assigned a 2.96% AD rate to 63 companies that demonstrated independence from state control but were not individually reviewed. See Commerce's notice for a full list.
China-wide. Commerce said 32 companies did not demonstrate independence from state control, or otherwise did not respond to Commerce Department questionnaires, and assigned these companies to the China-wide entity with a rate of 76.46%. See Commerce's notice for a full list.
No shipments. Commerce found 10 companies -- Highpoint Trading, Ltd.; Federal Tire (Jiangxi), Ltd.; Federal Corporation; Weihai Ping'an Tyre Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Free Trade Zone Full-World International Trading Co., Ltd.; Seatex PTE. Ltd.; Wendeng Sanfeng Tyre Co., Ltd.; Shandong Hawk International Rubber Industry Co., Ltd.; Qingdao Honghua Tyre Factory (Honghua); and Zenith Holding (HK) Limited -- did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review. As a result, the cash deposit rates currently in effect for these 10 companies will not change, and any entries during the period of review reported under their case numbers will be assessed duties at the 76.46% China-wide rate.
Assessment Rates for Entries January 2015 - July 2016
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 Jan. 27, 2015, and July 31, 2016. Commerce will liquidate entries from Giti and Sentury during that period at importer-specific rates. Entries from the other companies under review will be liquidated at the rates listed above.
(The review period is 01/27/15 - 07/31/16. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1709070019 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
