Truck and Bus Tires From the People's Republic of China:
Antidumping Duty Order
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On November 1, 2018 the U.S. Court of International Trade
(CIT) remanded the International Trade Commission's (ITC) final
negative injury determination on truck and bus tires from the People's
Republic of China (China). On January 30, 2019, the ITC filed its final
remand determination, finding material injury to an industry in the
United States by reason of imports of truck and bus tires from China.
Based on affirmative final determinations by the Department of Commerce
(Commerce) and the ITC, Commerce is issuing an antidumping duty order
on truck and bus tires from China. Therefore, Commerce will direct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation and collect
cash deposits on entries of truck and bus tires from China at the ad
valorem rates listed below.
DATES: Applicable February 15, 2019.

Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue
NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-5760 and (202) 482-2201,
respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.210(c), on January 27,
2017, Commerce published affirmative final determinations of sales at
less than fair value and critical circumstances in the investigation of
truck and bus tires from China.\1\ On March 13, 2017, the ITC notified
Commerce of its final determination that an industry in the United
States is not materially injured or threatened with material injury
within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A) of the Act by reason of
imports of truck and bus tires from China at less than fair value.\2\
Accordingly, Commerce instructed CBP to liquidate entries of subject
merchandise without regard to antidumping duties.\3\ On November 1,
2018, the CIT remanded the ITC's final negative determination.\4\ On
January 30, 2019, upon remand, the ITC issued its final determination,
in which the ITC found that an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports of truck and bus tires from
China. However, in its final determination upon remand, the ITC found
that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to imports of
subject merchandise from China that are subject to Commerce's final
affirmative critical circumstances finding.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On February 8, 2019, pursuant to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit's (CAFC) opinion in Diamond Sawblades Manufacturers
Coalition v. United States, 626 F.3d 1374, 1381 (Fed. Cir. 2010), the
ITC notified Commerce of this determination upon remand.\5\ In Diamond
Sawblades Manufacturers Coalition, the CAFC clarified that the same
procedures for issuance of an order and collection of cash deposits
apply when a material injury determination is made upon remand, and
that the ITC should provide notice to Commerce of its remand
determination at the time that it is issued, notwithstanding the
pendency of ongoing litigation.\6\ Moreover, the CAFC held that
Commerce's duty to publish an order is triggered by the ITC's
notification of its affirmative injury determination, rather than the
date of the publication of the notice of such determination.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See the Letter from the ITC to Commerce dated February 8,
2019.
\6\ See Diamond Sawblades Manufacturers Coalition, 626 F.3d at
1381-82.
\7\ Id. at 1379, n.2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this antidumping duty order are truck and
bus tires. For a complete description for the scope of the order, see
the ``Scope of the Order'' in the Appendix of this notice.
Antidumping Duty Order
As stated above, upon remand, the ITC issued its final affirmative
determination. In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act and Diamond
Sawblades Manufacturers Coalition v. United States, 626 F.3d 1374 (Fed.
Cir. 2010), the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination in its
investigation, in which it found that an industry in the United States
is materially injured by reason of imports of truck and bus tires from
China.\8\ Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the Act,
we are publishing this antidumping duty order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accordingly, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act,
Commerce will direct CBP to assess, upon further instruction by
Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal
value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed
export price) of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of truck and
bus tires from China. These antidumping duties will be assessed on
unliquidated entries of truck and bus tires from China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective
date of this antidumping duty order.
[[Page 4437]]
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, effective the
publication date of this order, we will instruct CBP to suspend
liquidation on all entries of truck and bus tires from China. These
instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further
notice.
We will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits at rates equal
to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated below.
Accordingly, effective the publication date of this order, CBP will
require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated
duties on this subject merchandise, a cash deposit at rates equal to
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins adjusted for domestic
pass-through subsidies and export subsidies found in the amended final
determination of the companion countervailing duty investigation of
this merchandise imported from China.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Final Determinations, 82 FR at 8604. See also Truck and
Bus Tires from the People's Republic of China: Amended Final
Determination and Countervailing Duty Order (Countervailing Duty
Order), signed concurrently with this notice. In the Final
Determination, we explained that the countervailing duty rate
attributable to domestic pass-through subsidies and export subsidies
is 27.59 percent and, if the ITC makes an affirmative final
determination, the adjusted cash deposit rate will be zero percent
for Prinx Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Co., Ltd. (PCT), the non-
selected separate rate respondents, and the China-wide Entity. See
Final Determinations, 82 FR at 8604. The amended final determination
of the concurrent countervailing duty investigation has changed the
countervailing duty rate attributable to domestic pass-through
subsidies and export subsidies to 19.74 percent. See Countervailing
Duty Order at 3, n.9, and the Memorandum, ``Truck and Bus Tires from
the People's Republic of China: Amended Cash Deposit Rate for the
China-Wide Entity'' dated concurrently with this notice. We deducted
this 19.74 percentage point from the calculate margins for PCT, the
non-selected separate rate respondents, and the China-wide entity.
This amended countervailing duty rate changes the adjusted cash
deposit rate for China-wide entity from zero percent to 2.83 percent
but the adjusted cash deposit rates for PCT and the non-selected
separate rate respondents remain at zero percent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Critical Circumstances
In its final affirmative determination upon remand, the ITC found
no critical circumstances on imports of truck and bus tires from China.
Accordingly, Commerce will not instruct CBP to suspend entries pursuant
to section 733(e)(2) of the Act.
Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins

Interested parties can find a list of antidumping duty orders currently

Dated: February 12, 2019.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
Appendix
Scope of the Order
The scope of the order covers truck and bus tires. Truck and bus
tires are new pneumatic tires, of rubber, with a truck or bus size
designation. Truck and bus tires covered by this order may be tube-
type, tubeless, radial, or non-radial.
Subject tires have, at the time of importation, the symbol
``DOT'' on the sidewall, certifying that the tire conforms to
applicable motor vehicle safety standards. Subject tires may also
have one of the following suffixes in their tire size designation,
which also appear on the sidewall of the tire:
TR--Identifies tires for service on trucks or buses to
differentiate them from similarly sized passenger car and light
truck tires; and
HC--Identifies a 17.5 inch rim diameter code for use on low
platform trailers.
All tires with a ``TR'' or ``HC'' suffix in their size
designations are covered by this order regardless of their intended
use.
In addition, all tires that lack one of the above suffix
markings are included in the scope, regardless of their intended
use, as long as the tire is of a size that is among the numerical
size designations listed in the ``Truck-Bus'' section of the Tire
and Rim Association Year Book, as updated annually, unless the tire
falls within one of the specific exclusions set out below.
Truck and bus tires, whether or not mounted on wheels or rims,
are included in the scope. However, if a subject tire is imported
mounted on a wheel or rim, only the tire is covered by the scope.
Subject merchandise includes truck and bus tires produced in the
subject country whether mounted on wheels or rims in the subject
country or in a third country. Truck and bus tires are covered
whether or not they are accompanied by other parts, e.g., a wheel,
rim, axle parts, bolts, nuts, etc. Truck and bus tires that enter
attached to a vehicle are not covered by the scope.
Specifically excluded from the scope of this order are the
following types of tires: (1) Pneumatic tires, of rubber, that are
not new, including recycled and retreaded tires; (2) non-pneumatic
tires, such as solid rubber tires; and (3) tires that exhibit each
of the following physical characteristics: (a) The designation
``MH'' is molded into the tire's sidewall as part of the size
designation; (b) the tire incorporates a warning, prominently molded
on the sidewall, that the tire is for ``Mobile Home Use Only;'' and
(c) the tire is of bias construction as evidenced by the fact that
the construction code included in the size designation molded into
the tire's sidewall is not the letter ``R.''
The subject merchandise is currently classifiable under
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings:
4011.20.1015 and 4011.20.5020. Tires meeting the scope description
may also enter under the following HTSUS subheadings: 4011.69.0020,
4011.69.0090, 4011.70.00, 4011.90.80, 4011.99.4520, 4011.99.4590,
4011.99.8520, 4011.99.8590, 8708.70.4530, 8708.70.6030,
8708.70.6060, and 8716.90.5059.
While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and for
customs purposes, the written description of the subject merchandise
is dispositive.
