The ITA initiated this review to determine whether Mai Shandong Radial Tyre Co., Ltd. is the successor-in-interest to Shandong Jinyu Tyre Co., Ltd. for purposes of AD duty liability.
ITA Preliminarily Determines Mai Shandong is Not Successor-in-Interest
The ITA preliminarily determines that Mai Shandong is not the successor-in-interest to Shandong Jinyu, as the record evidence demonstrates that Mai Shandong is a new entity that operates in a significantly different manner from Shandong Jinyu.
Consequently, the ITA preliminarily determines that Mai Shandong should not be given the same AD duty treatment as Shandong Jinyu, (i.e., the 12.91% separate rate).
China-Wide Rate of 210.48% Continues for Mai Shandong
The ITA preliminarily finds that Mai Shandong should continue to be treated as part of the China-wide entity until such time as it demonstrates that it meets the separate rates criteria established by the ITA, and should be assigned the current China-wide entity rate of 210.48%.
The ITA will issue its final results of review within 270 days after the date on which the changed circumstances review was initiated (November 9, 2009).
