China Car and Truck Tires: Commerce Postpones Preliminary CV Duty Determination

The Commerce Department is postponing until Nov. 21 the due date for its preliminary determination in the countervailing duty investigation on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China (C-570-017). The United Steel Workers trade union asked for the extension, and Commerce says it has no reason to deny the request. Once Commerce makes its preliminary determination, it can suspend liquidation and require cash deposits of estimated CV duties. The preliminary determination was originally due Sept. 17.
