The preliminary results of this review were published June 18, 2020. In June 2021, Commerce deferred the deadline for the final results in order to take into consideration any changes resulting from an inquiry into whether a Chinese company accurately reported its sales in the prior review period.
Both mandatory respondents in this review were determined to be part of the China-wide entity, which has an AD rate of 76.46%. Seven separate rate but non-individually examined companies were assigned "the most recently assigned separate rate in this proceeding," which is zero percent.
Four of the separate rate companies have superseding rates in subsequent reviews, so their current cash deposit rates will not be affected by the results of this review.
New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect April 29
For entries on or after April 29, the date these final results are to be published in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates. For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except those listed below), cash deposit rates will remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the China-wide rate applies. The new rates are as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Qingdao Fullrun Tyre Tech Corp., Ltd. | zero |
| Qingdao Powerich Tyre Co., Ltd. | zero |
| *Qingdao Sentury Tire Co., Ltd. | zero |
| *Shandong Linglong Tyre Co., Ltd. | zero |
| *Shandong Province Sanli Tire Manufactured Co., Ltd. | zero |
| Shandong Yongsheng Rubber Group Co., Ltd. | zero |
| *Shouguang Firemax Tyre Co., Ltd. | zero |
*This company has a rate from a more recent review, so the rates set in this review have no effect for cash deposit purposes.
No shipments. Commerce found that Qingdao Fullrun Tyre Corp., Ltd. (Fullrun Tyre) and Shandong Duratti Rubber Corporation Co., Ltd. had no shipments of subject merchandise during the period of review. As a result, the cash deposit rates currently in effect for this company will not change, and any entries during the period of review reported under its case number will be assessed duties at the 76.46% China-wide rate.
China-wide entity rate. Commerce said three companies did not demonstrate independence from state control, or otherwise did not respond to Commerce Department questionnaires, and assigned these companies to the China-wide entity, as follows: Qingdao Odyking Tyre Co., Ltd.; Shandong Longyue Rubber Co., Ltd. dba ZODO Tire Co., Ltd.; and Shandong Anchi Tyres Co., Ltd.
Assessment Rates for Entries August 2018 - July 2019
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to set assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise for entries between Aug. 1, 2018, and July 31, 2019. Commerce will liquidate entries during that period from the companies under review at the rates listed above.
(The review period is 08/01/18 - 07/31/19. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2006170024 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
