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:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Xuzhou Xugong Tyres Co., Ltd., Armour Rubber Company Ltd., or Xuzhou Hanbang Tyre Co., Ltd. | 86.78% |
| Qingdao Qihang Tyre Co., Ltd. | 99.36% |
| Qingdao Free Trade Zone Full-World International Trading Co., Ltd. | 91.3% |
| Tianjin Leviathan International Trade Co., Ltd. | 91.3% |
| Trelleborg Wheel Systems (Xingtai) China, Co. Ltd. | 91.3% |
| Weihai Zhongwei Rubber Co., Ltd. | 91.3% |
No shipments. Commerce found the following Chinese companies did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review: Trelleborg Wheel Systems Hebei Co. and Zhongce Rubber Group Company Limited. Cash deposit rates for these companies will not change, and any entries reported to be from these exporters will be assessed duties at the China-wide rate.
China wide. Commerce found Qingdao Haojia (Xinhai) Tyre Co., Ltd., did not cooperate with the review, and assigned them the 105.31% China-wide rate.
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, 2013 and Aug. 31, 2014. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise exported by Qingdao Qihang and Xuzhou Xugong will be assessed AD duties at importer-specific rates. Importers of subject merchandise exported by the four average rate companies will be assessed AD duties at the rates set in the final results.
(The period of review is 09/01/13 -- 08/31/14. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
