Rates Only Preliminary; Cash Deposit Rates From Previous Proceedings Still in Effect

These preliminary results are not in effect, and do not affect cash deposit requirements currently in place. Commerce may still change its calculations when it issues the final results of this administrative review. For now, the most recent final AD rate calculated for each Chinese company is still applicable. If no final AD duty rate has ever been calculated for a company, then it is subject to the China-wide rate. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in February.

Cash Deposit Requirements

Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty cash deposit rates:

ExporterAD Rate (Prelim)
Guizhou Tyre Co., Ltd. / Guizhou Tyre Import and Export Co., Ltd.16.18%
Zhongce Rubber Group Company Limited16.18%
Weihai Zhongwei Rubber Co., Ltd.16.18%
China-wide Entity*105.59%

*Includes Double Coin Holdings Ltd.; Double Coin Group Jiangsu Tyre Co., Ltd.; and Double Coin Group Shanghai Donghai Tyre Co., Ltd.

Assessment Rates

As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the AD duties it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between Sept. 1, 2012 and Aug. 31, 2013. For importers of subject merchandise from Guizhou Tyre, Commerce will set importer-specific AD duty assessment rates. For importers of subject merchandise from all other exporters, Commerce will set assessments at the rates calculated in this review.

(The period of review is 09/01/12 -- 08/31/13. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
