An antidumping duty order on Taiwanese light truck tires doesn't cover a spare light truck tire model imported by Cheng Shin Rubber USA, Commerce said in a March 7 scope ruling.

The Commerce Department issued a correction to a recent notice expanding its ongoing antidumping and countervailing duty administrative reviews on quartz surface products from China (A-570-084/C-570-085). The AD review will cover entries Nov. 4, 2021, through June 30, 2023, Commerce said. Likewise, the CVD review, which covered entries in calendar year 2022, will now cover entries Nov. 4, 2021, through Dec. 31, 2022, Commerce said, correcting the start dates for the AD/CVD periods of review. The expanded review periods will allow Commerce to consider entries of quartz surface products from Malaysia made from Chinese quartz slab that the agency found are covered by the scope of the AD/CVD orders, Commerce said in the original notice (see 2402230073). The 2022 scope ruling applies to entries on or after Nov. 4, 2021 (see 2210240036).
