Court Fixes Dumping Duties on China Truck Tires
Published Date: 3/13/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce is updating the antidumping duty rates on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China after a court ruled part of the original review wasn’t quite right. This change mainly affects Kenda Rubber (China) Co., Ltd., with new dumping margins starting November 26, 2024. If you’re involved in importing these tires, keep an eye on these updated rates—they could impact costs and trade decisions.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Kenda's Dumping Margin Set at 18.15%
Commerce amended the final results to set Kenda Rubber (China) Co., Ltd.'s weighted-average dumping margin at 18.15 percent. This amended margin is effective November 26, 2024.
CBP Will Assess Duties on Unliquidated Kenda Entries
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of merchandise produced and/or exported by Kenda in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b). This instruction follows the November 26, 2024 court judgment and applies where the importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is not zero or de minimis; entries with a zero or de minimis rate will be liquidated without antidumping duties.
China-Wide Entity Cash Deposit Accounts for 11.13%
In its remand redetermination, Commerce recalculated the cash deposit rate applicable to the China-wide entity to account for combined export subsidies and estimated domestic subsidy pass-through of 11.13 percent. Commerce also found Wanda Boto, Mayrun, Hengyu, Winrun, and Linglong to be part of the China-wide entity.
Current Kenda Cash Deposit Rate Unchanged
Commerce stated it will not issue revised cash deposit instructions to CBP for Kenda because a superseding cash deposit rate exists from a subsequent administrative review. Therefore, this notice will not affect Kenda's current cash deposit rate.
