The Commerce Department amended the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on new pneumatic off-the-road tires from China (A-570-912) in order to correct a calculation error (here).

The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on lightweight thermal paper from Germany (A-428-840) (here), assigning Papierfabrik August Koehler SE a zero percent AD duty rate. As a result, subject merchandise from Koehler entered between Nov. 1, 2012 and Oct. 31, 2013 will be liquidated without any assessment of AD duties. Commerce revoked AD duties on lightweight thermal paper from China in January during a sunset review, so AD duty cash deposits are no longer being collected (see 1501290029).
