Published Date: 1/14/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Sentury Tire from Thailand sold passenger vehicle and light truck tires in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from July 2023 to June 2024, but Sumitomo Rubber did not. They also stopped reviewing four other companies for now. These decisions could affect import duties and trade fairness starting January 14, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 1 mixed.
Final Cash Deposit Rate Rules
The final results will set cash deposit requirements effective for shipments entered on or after the date of publication of the final results: (1) the cash deposit rate for listed companies will equal the weighted-average dumping margin in the final results, and (4) the all-others cash deposit rate will remain 17.06 percent from the original investigation. These cash deposit requirements will remain in effect until further notice.
Preliminary Dumping Margins Set
Commerce preliminarily found that Sentury Tire (Thailand) sold passenger vehicle and light truck tires in the U.S. below normal value for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 and preliminarily assigned Sentury a weighted-average dumping margin of 2.94%. Commerce preliminarily found Sumitomo Rubber (Thailand) had a 0.00 percent margin, and assigned the 2.94 percent rate to non-examined companies for this review.
Assessment Instructions and De Minimis Rule
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties according to the final results and intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results. If a company's final weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis (less than 0.50 percent), Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Importer Certificate and Double-Duty Risk
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries as required by 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If importers fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Rescission for Four Thai Producers
Commerce is rescinding, in part, the administrative review for four named companies (General Rubber (Thailand) Co., Ltd.; LLIT (Thailand) Co., Ltd.; Maxxis International (Thailand) Co. Ltd.; Otani Radial Co., Ltd./Otani Tire Co., Ltd.) because requests for review were timely withdrawn. For these companies, antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit required at the time of entry during the period of review.
