SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 15, 2013, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD order on large residential washers 

from Mexico.1 On April 1, 2024, the ITC 

instituted,2 and Commerce initiated,3

the second sunset review of the Order, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As 

a result of its review, Commerce 

determined that revocation of the Order 

would likely lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of dumping, and therefore, 

notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 

margins of dumping likely to prevail 

should the Order be revoked.4

On October 9, 2024, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, 

that revocation of the Order would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the Order 

are all large residential washers and 

certain subassemblies thereof from 

Mexico. For purposes of the order, the 

term ‘‘large residential washers’’ 

denotes all automatic clothes washing 

machines, regardless of the orientation 

of the rotational axis, except as noted 

below, with a cabinet width (measured 

from its widest point) of at least 24.5 

inches (62.23 cm) and no more than 

32.0 inches (81.28 cm). Also covered are 

certain subassemblies used in large 

residential washers, namely: (1) all 

assembled cabinets designed for use in 

large residential washers which 

incorporate, at a minimum: (a) At least 

three of the six cabinet surfaces; and (b) 

a bracket; (2) all assembled tubs 6

designed for use in large residential 

washers which incorporate, at a 

minimum: (a) a tub; and (b) a seal; (3) 

all assembled baskets 7 designed for use 

in large residential washers which 

incorporate, at a minimum: (a) a side 

wrapper; 8 (b) a base; and (c) a drive 

hub; 9 and (4) any combination of the 

foregoing subassemblies. 

The products are currently classifiable 

under subheadings 8450.20.0040 and 

8450.20.0080 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS).10 Products subject to this 

Order may also enter under HTSUS 

subheadings 8450.11.0040, 

8450.11.0080, 8450.90.2000, and 

8450.90.6000. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

subject to this scope is dispositive.11

Continuation of the Order 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Order would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby 

orders the continuation of the Order. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD cash deposits at 

the rates in effect at the time of entry for 

all imports of subject merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Order will be October 9, 2024.12

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

review of the Order not later than 30 

days prior to fifth anniversary of the 

date of the last determination by the 

ITC. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to interested parties subject to 

an APO of their responsibility 

concerning the return or destruction of 

proprietary information disclosed under 

APO in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.305(a)(3), which continues to 

govern business proprietary information 

in this segment of the proceeding. 

Timely written notification of the return 

or destruction of APO materials, or 

conversion to judicial protective order, 

is hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a violation which is subject to 

sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This five-year (sunset) review and this 

notice are in accordance with sections 

751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act and 

published in accordance with section 

777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR

We invited interested parties to 

comment on the Preliminary 

Determination. Bridgestone Corporation 

(Bridgestone) and Prinx Chengshan Tire 

(Thailand) Co., Ltd. (Prinx) are the 

mandatory respondents in this 

investigation. On July 22, 2024, 

Commerce tolled certain deadlines in 

this administrative proceeding by seven 

days.2 The deadline for the final 

determination is now October 9, 2024. 

A summary of the events that 

occurred since Commerce published the 

Preliminary Determination, as well as a 

full discussion of the issues raised by 

parties for this final determination, may 

be found in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.3 The Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is on file electronically via Enforcement 

and Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are truck and bus tires 

from Thailand. For a full description of 

the scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

We received no comments from 

interested parties on the scope of the 

investigation as it appeared in the 

Preliminary Determination. Therefore, 

we made no changes to the scope of the 

investigation. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

in June and July 2024, we conducted 

verification of the sales information and 

cost information submitted by 

Bridgestone and Prinx for use in our 

final determination. We used standard 

verification procedures, including an 

examination of relevant sales and 

accounting records, and original source 

documents provided by Bridgestone and 

Prinx. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

The issues raised in comments that 

were submitted by parties in this 

investigation are addressed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. A list of 

the issues addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is attached to 

this notice at Appendix II. 

Final Affirmative Determination of 

Critical Circumstances, in Part 

Commerce preliminarily determined, 

in accordance with section 733(e)(1) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.206(c)(1), that 

critical circumstances did not exist with 

respect to imports of truck and bus tires 

exported by Bridgestone, Prinx, and all 

other companies.4

For the final determination, pursuant 

to section 735(a)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.206, we continue to find that 

critical circumstances do not exist for 

Prinx and all other companies, but that 

critical circumstances do exist for 

Bridgestone. For a full description of the 

methodology and results of Commerce’s 

critical circumstances analysis, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

As explained in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, Commerce was 

unable to verify the accuracy of 

Bridgestone’s reporting with respect to 

its sales data. As a consequence, we find 

that Bridgestone’s reported sales data 

are unverified and, thus, cannot serve as 

a reliable basis for calculating an 

accurate margin for Bridgestone in this 

investigation. Furthermore, based on 

our analysis of the comments received 

and our findings at verification, we 

made changes to Prinx’s dumping 

margin. For a discussion of these 

changes, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Use of Adverse Facts Available 

Because Bridgestone’s submitted data 

could not be verified, we are unable to 

use its data to calculate an accurate 

dumping margin for the company. 

Therefore, for this final determination 

we find it appropriate to rely on facts 

available with an adverse inference 

(AFA) to assign Bridgestone an 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin, in accordance with sections 

776(a) and (b) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.308, because Bridgestone failed to 

cooperate by not acting to the best of its 

ability to comply with our requests for 

information. In applying AFA, we 

assigned Bridgestone the margin 

identified in the Petition, i.e., 48.39 

percent.5

Additionally, due to findings at 

verification related to certain of Prinx’s 

reported sales expenses, we find it 

appropriate to rely on AFA, in part, in 

the calculation of its dumping margin 

for the final determination. For further 

discussion, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

provides that the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other 

producers and exporters not 

individually examined shall be an 

amount equal to the weighted average of 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins established for 

exporters and producers individually 

investigated, excluding any zero or de 

minimis margins, and margins 

determined entirely under section 776 

of the Act. 

For the final determination of this 

investigation, Prinx was the only 

individually examined exporter/ 

producer for which Commerce 

calculated an individual estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin. 

Because Prinx’s dumping margin is the 

only individually calculated dumping 

margin that is not zero, de minimis, or 

based entirely on facts otherwise 

available, the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin calculated for 

Prinx is the margin assigned to all other 

producers and exporters, pursuant to 

section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. 

Final Determination 

The final estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins are as follows: 

Producer or exporter

weightedaverage 

dumping

with this final determination to 

interested parties within five days of 

any public announcement or, if there is 

no public announcement, within five 

days of the publication of the notice in 

the Federal Register, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Suspension of Liquidation 

Because the Preliminary 

Determination was negative with 

respect to Prinx, we did not instruct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to suspend entries of subject 

merchandise, as described in Appendix 

I to this notice, from Prinx. In 

accordance with section 735(c)(1)(C) of 

the Act, we will now direct CBP to 

suspend liquidation of all imports of the 

subject merchandise from Prinx entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, and to require the posting of a 

cash deposit for such entries of 

merchandise. 

With respect to Bridgestone, section 

733(e)(2) of the Act provides that, given 

an affirmative determination of critical 

circumstances, any suspension of 

liquidation shall apply to unliquidated 

entries of subject merchandise entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the later of: (a) 

the date which is 90 days before the 

date on which the suspension of 

liquidation was first ordered; or (b) the 

date on which notice of initiation of the 

investigation was published. The 

Preliminary Determination was 

affirmative with respect to Bridgestone’s 

sales at LTFV; however, Commerce 

preliminarily determined that critical 

circumstances did not exist for 

Bridgestone. Accordingly, Commerce 

ordered the suspension of liquidation 

for Bridgestone’s entries of subject 

merchandise from Thailand on May 20, 

2024, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. Therefore, as a result 

of this final affirmative determination of 

critical circumstances for Bridgestone, 

pursuant to section 733(e)(2) of the Act, 

we will now instruct CBP to suspend 

liquidation of all entries of subject 

merchandise from Bridgestone which 

were entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

February 20, 2024, which is 90 days 

prior to the publication of the 

Preliminary Determination. 

Finally, with respect to all other 

companies, in accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will 

instruct CBP to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all appropriate entries of 

subject merchandise from Thailand, as 

described in Appendix I to this notice, 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after May 20, 

2024, the date of publication of 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. These suspension-ofliquidation instructions will remain in 

effect until further notice. 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), where 

appropriate, Commerce will instruct 

CBP to require a cash deposit equal to 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin or the estimated allothers rate, as follows: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for the respondents listed 

above will be equal to the companyspecific estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin determined in this 

final determination; (2) if the exporter is 

not a respondent identified above but 

the producer is, then the cash deposit 

rate will be equal to the companyspecific estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin established for that 

producer of the subject merchandise; 

and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers and exporters will be equal to 

the all-others estimated weightedaverage dumping margin. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

(ITC) Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the ITC of the 

final affirmative determination of sales 

at LTFV. Because Commerce’s final 

determination is affirmative, in 

accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the 

Act, the ITC will make its final 

determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports or 

sales (or the likelihood of sales) for 

importation of truck and bus tires from 

Thailand, no later than 45 days after this 

final determination. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does not 

exist, this proceeding will be 

terminated, and all cash deposits posted 

will be refunded and suspension of 

liquidation will be lifted. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does exist, 

Commerce will issue an antidumping 

duty order directing CBP to assess, upon 

further instruction by Commerce, 

antidumping duties on all imports of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation, as 

discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of 

Suspension of Liquidation’’ section. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice will serve as a final 

reminder to the parties subject to an 

APO of their responsibility concerning 

the disposition of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 

Timely written notification of return or 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.210(c). 

Dated: October 9, 2024.

and Compliance. 

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The scope of the investigation 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 the scope may be tube-type, 

tubeless, radial, or non-radial (also known as 

bias construction or bias-ply). 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 the 

scope regardless of their intended use. 

In addition, all tires that lack one of the 

above suffix markings are included in the 

scope, as well as all tires that include any 

other prefix or suffix in their sidewall 

markings, are included in the scope, 

regardless of their intended use, as long as 

the tire is of a size that fits trucks or busses. 

Sizes that fit trucks and busses include, but 

are not limited to, the numerical size 

designations listed in the ‘‘Truck-Bus’’ 

section of the Tire and Rim Association Year 

Book, as updated annually. The scope 

includes all tires that are of a size that fits 

trucks or busses, 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 are 

the following types of tires: (1) pneumatic
