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

The Commerce Department is postponing until Jan. 20 the due date for its preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China (A-570-016). The agency says it needs more time because of the "extraordinary complexity" of the case. Once Commerce makes its preliminary determination, it can suspend liquidation and require cash deposits of estimated AD duties. The preliminary determination was originally due Dec. 1.
