China Off Road Tires: Commerce Moves Toward Lower AD Rate for Shandong Linglong

The Commerce Department tentatively found Shandong Linglong Tyre Co., Ltd. is the successor company to Zhaoyuan Leo Rubber Co., Ltd. for the purposes of antidumping duty liability, in the preliminary results of a changed circumstances review on new pneumatic off-the-road tires from China (A-570-912). Commerce said the company underwent a simple name change, and its corporate operations weren’t affected. If Commerce adopts these preliminary findings in its final results, subject merchandise from Shandong Linglong will enter at the 12.83% AD duty cash deposit rate currently assigned to Leo Rubber.
