Following the remand to the Court of International Trade of those amended results, the following companies had their rates recalculated, and these new rates replace the first amended results for them: Xuzhou Xugong Tyres Co., Ltd., Armour Rubber Co. Ltd., and Xuzhou Hanbang Tyre Co., Ltd. (collectively, Xugong), as well as all other qualifying separate rate respondents that are plaintiffs in the action -- i.e., Qingdao Qihang Tyre Co., Ltd. (Qingdao Qihang), Qingdao Free Trade Zone Full-World International Trading Co., Ltd. (Full World), Trelleborg Wheel Systems (Xingtai) China, Co., Ltd. (Trelleborg), and Weihai Zhongwei Rubber Co., Ltd. (Zhongwei). The new rates are applicable as of May 28.
However, because the AD order on OTR tires from China was revoked, Commerce will not issue cash deposit instructions as a result of the court decision.
Amended (for second time) rates are as follows (down from 33.14%):
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Xuzhou Xugong Tyres Co., Ltd., Armour Rubber Company Ltd., or Xuzhou Hanbang Tyre Co., Ltd. (collectively, Xugong) | 16.75% |
| Weihai Zhongwei Rubber Co., Ltd. | 16.75% |
| Qingdao Qihang Tyre Co. | 16.75% |
| Qingdao Free Trade Zone Full-World International Trading Co., Ltd. | 16.75% |
| Trelleborg Wheel Systems (Xingtai) China, Co. Ltd. | 16.75% |
Unless the court ruling is appealed, or if appealed and these results are upheld, Commerce said it "intends to instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of subject merchandise exported by the companies listed above."
(The review period is 09/01/14 -- 08/31/15. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1706130055 for a summary of the amended final results and 1704200011 for a summary of the original final results of this administrative review.)
