India Tires: Commerce Fixes Math, Keeps Dumping Duties Intact
Published Date: 2/10/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce fixed some math and clerical mistakes in their review of special off-the-road tires from India for 2022. This update confirms that ATC Tires sold these tires in the U.S. at prices lower than usual, which could affect duties they owe. The changes take effect on February 10, 2025, so importers and sellers should pay attention to the new numbers and deadlines.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Cash Deposits Continue for Other Firms
For companies other than BKT, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the rates shown (for example, the 1.70 percent all-others/selected rate) on shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date (February 10, 2025). Commerce will also continue to require cash deposits for non-reviewed firms at the all-others rate or the most recent company-specific rate, and these cash deposit requirements will remain in effect until further notice.
ATC Tires: 1.70% Duty Finding
If you import or sell ATC Tires' off-the-road (OTR) tires from the January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 period, Commerce confirmed an estimated weighted-average dumping margin of 1.70 percent for ATC. Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collect duties or cash deposits for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date (February 10, 2025), but Commerce will not issue assessment instructions while a statutory injunction issued on January 16, 2025 remains in place.
BKT Margin Deemed De Minimis (0.39%)
Commerce amended BKT's final dumping margin from 0.34 percent to 0.39 percent and treated that rate as de minimis. Because BKT's rate is de minimis, no cash deposit will be required on shipments of BKT subject merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date of these final results (February 10, 2025).
