SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This preliminary determination is 

made in accordance with section 703(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Commerce published the 

notice of initiation of this countervailing 

duty (CVD) investigation on July 16, 

2024.1 On July 25, 2024, Commerce 

tolled certain deadlines in this 

administrative proceeding by seven 

days.2 On September 10, 2024, 

Commerce postponed the preliminary 

determination until November 25, 

2024.3

For a complete description of events 

that followed the initiation of this 

investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.4 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

II to this notice. The Preliminary 

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 Preliminary 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 LSPTVs from China. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of this investigation, see Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the Preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,5 in the 

Initiation Notice Commerce set aside a 

period of time for parties to raise issues 

regarding product coverage (i.e., scope).6

Certain interested parties commented on 

the scope of the less-than-fair-value 

(LTFV) and CVD investigations as it 

appeared in the Initiation Notice. 

Commerce preliminary determined to 

modify the scope of this investigation to 

include one additional Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

Subheading (i.e. 8703.10.5060). See the 

scope in Appendix I to this notice. 

Additionally, Commerce is proposing 

certain modifications to the language of 

the scope of these LTFV and CVD 

investigations and invite interested 

parties to submit comments. For further 

discussion, see the Preliminary Scope 

Modification Memorandum.7

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy 

programs found to be countervailable, 

Commerce preliminarily determines

8See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act 

regarding financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) 

of the Act regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of 

the Act regarding specificity. 9See sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. 10The companies that failed to respond to 

Commerce’s Q&V questionnaire are: (1) Shandong 

Odes Industry Co. Ltd.; and (2) Hebei Machinery 

Import and Export Co., Ltd.

Countervailing Duty Investigation Final 

Determination with Antidumping Duty

13See Memorandum, ‘‘Calculation of Subsidy

notice.

that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial 

contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific.8 For a 

full description of the methodology 

underlying our preliminary 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Commerce notes that, in making these 

findings, it relied, in part, on facts 

available, and, because it finds that 

certain respondents and the 

Government of China did not act to the 

best of their ability to respond to 

Commerce’s requests for information, it 

drew an adverse inference where 

appropriate in selecting from among the 

facts otherwise available.9 For further 

information, see the ‘‘Use of Facts 

Otherwise Available and Adverse 

Inferences’’ section in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Affirmative Determination 

of Critical Circumstances, in Part 

In accordance with section 703(e)(1) 

of the Act, we preliminarily find that 

critical circumstances exist with respect 

to imports of subject merchandise from 

Guangdong Lvtong New Energy Electric 

Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd. (Lvtong), 

and the companies who did not respond 

to our quantity and value (Q&V) 

questionnaire (i.e., the non-responsive 

companies).10 We also preliminarily 

find that critical circumstances do not 

exist with respect to imports of subject 

merchandise from Xiamen Dalle New 

Energy Automobile Co., Ltd (Xiamen 

Dalle) and all other producers and/or 

exporters. For a full discussion of our 

preliminary critical circumstances 

determination, see the ‘‘Preliminary 

Critical Circumstances’’ section of the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Alignment 

In accordance with section 705(a)(1) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4), 

Commerce is aligning the final CVD 

determination in this investigation with 

the final determination in the 

concurrent LTFV investigation of 

LSPTVs from China, based on a request 

made by the petitioner.11 Consequently, 

the final CVD determination will be 

issued on the same date as the final 

LTFV determination, which is currently 

scheduled to be issued no later than 

April 8, 2025, unless postponed.12

All-Others Rate 

Sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act provide that, in the preliminary 

determination, Commerce shall 

determine an estimated all-others rate 

for companies not individually 

examined. This rate shall be an amount 

equal to the weighted average of the 

estimated subsidy rates established for 

those companies individually 

examined, excluding any rates that are 

zero, de minimis, or based entirely 

under section 776 of the Act. 

In this investigation, Commerce 

preliminarily calculated total net 

subsidy rates for Xiamen Dalle and 

Lvtong that are not zero, de minimis, or 

based entirely on the facts otherwise 

available. Because Commerce calculated 

individual estimated countervailable 

subsidy rates for Xiamen Dalle and 

Lvtong that are not zero, de minimis, or 

based entirely on the facts otherwise 

available, we have preliminarily 

calculated the all-others rate using a 

simple-average of the individual 

subsidy rates calculated for the 

examined respondents (i.e., 22.04 

percent).13

Rate for Non-Responsive Companies 

Two potential exporters and/or 

producers of LSPTVs from China did 

not respond to Commerce’s Q&V 

questionnaire.14 We find that, by not 

responding to the Q&V questionnaire, 

these companies withheld requested 

information and significantly impeded 

this proceeding. Thus, in reaching our 

preliminary determination, pursuant to 

sections 776(a)(2)(A) and (C) of the Act, 

we are basing the subsidy rate for the 

non-responsive companies on facts 

otherwise available. 

We further preliminarily determine 

that an adverse inference is warranted, 

pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act. By 

failing to submit responses to 

Commerce’s Q&V questionnaire, the 

non-responsive companies did not 

cooperate to the best of their ability in 

this investigation. Accordingly, we 

preliminarily find that an adverse 

inference is warranted to ensure that the 

non-responsive companies will not 

obtain a more favorable result than had 

they fully complied with our request for 

information. For more information on 

the application of adverse facts available 

to the non-responsive companies, see 

‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available and 

Adverse Inferences’’ in the Preliminary 

Determination Memorandum. 

Preliminary Determination 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following estimated 

countervailable subsidy rates exist: 

Company Subsidy rate 

(percent ad valorem) 

Guangdong Lvtong New Energy Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd ............................................................................. 22.84 

Hebei Machinery Import and Export Co., LTD .................................................................................................................... * 515.37 

Shandong Odes Industry Co. Ltd ........................................................................................................................................ * 515.37 

Xiamen Dalle New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd ................................................................................................................. 21.23 

All Others ............................................................................................................................................................................. 22.04 

* Rate based on facts available with adverse inferences. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

interested parties its calculations and 

analysis performed in connection with 

this preliminary determination within 

five days of its public announcement or, 

if there is no public announcement, 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). 

Consistent with 19 CFR 351.224(e), 

Commerce will analyze and, if 

appropriate, correct any timely

allegations of significant ministerial 

errors by amending the preliminary 

determination. However, consistent 

with 19 CFR 351.224(d), Commerce will 

not consider incomplete allegations that 

do not address the significance standard 

under 19 CFR 351.224(g) following the 

preliminary determination. Instead, 

Commerce will address such allegations 

in the final determination together with 

issues raised in the case briefs or other 

written comments. 

Suspension of Liquidation 

With the exception of Lvtong and the 

non-responsive companies, in 

accordance with section 703(d)(1)(B) 

and (d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will 

direct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation 

of entries of subject merchandise, as 

described in the scope of the 

investigation, entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register. Further, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(d), 

Commerce will instruct CBP to require 

a cash deposit equal to the rates 

indicated above. 

Section 703(e)(2) of the Act provides 

that, given an affirmative determination 

of critical circumstances, any 

suspension of liquidation shall apply to 

unliquidated entries of 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. Commerce 

preliminarily finds that critical 

circumstances exist for imports of 

subject merchandise produced and/or 

exported by Lvtong and the nonresponsive companies (i.e., Shandong 

Odes Industry Co. Ltd. and Hebei 

Machinery Import and Export Co., Ltd.). 

In accordance with section 703(e)(2)(A) 

of the Act, the suspension of liquidation 

shall apply to unliquidated entries of 

merchandise from the exporters/ 

producers identified in this paragraph 

that were entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date which is 90 days before the 

publication of this notice. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to verify the 

information relied upon in making its 

final determination. 

Public Comment 

As discussed above, Commerce is 

proposing certain modifications to the 

language of the scope of these LTFV and 

CVD investigations and invites 

interested parties to submit comments. 

Commerce intends to issue our 

preliminary decision regarding the 

proposed scope modifications no later 

than January 23, 2025, the date of the 

preliminary determination in the 

companion LTFV investigation.15 All 

interested parties will have the 

opportunity to submit scope case and 

rebuttal briefs, and we will establish a 

briefing schedule to allow interested 

parties to comment on our preliminary 

scope decision at that time. For all 

scope case and rebuttal briefs, parties 

must file identical documents 

simultaneously on the records of the 

ongoing LTFV and CVD investigations 

of LSPTVs from China. No new factual 

information or business proprietary 

information may be included in either 

scope case or rebuttal briefs. 

Case briefs or other written comments 

regarding non-scope issues may be 

submitted to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance no later 

than seven days after the date on which 

the last verification report is issued in 

this investigation. Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in the case 

briefs, may be filed not later than five 

days after the date for filing case 

briefs.16 Interested parties who submit 

case or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding 

must submit: (1) a table of contents 

listing each issue; and (2) a table of 

authorities.17

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their brief that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this 

investigation, we instead request that 

interested parties provide at the 

beginning of their briefs a public 

executive summary for each issue raised 

in their briefs.18 Further, we request that 

interested parties limit their public 

executive summary of each issue to no 

more than 450 words, not including 

citations. We intend to use the public 

executive summaries as the basis of the 

comment summaries included in the 

issues and decision memorandum that 

will accompany the final determination 

in this investigation. We request that 

interested parties include footnotes for 

relevant citations in the executive 

summary of each issue. Note that 

Commerce has amended certain of its 

requirements pertaining to the service of 

documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).19

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of

and whether any participant is a foreign 

national; and (3) a list of the issues to 

be discussed. Oral presentations at the 

hearing will be limited to issues raised 

in the briefs. If a request for a hearing 

is made, parties will be notified of the 

time and date for the hearing.20 Parties 

should confirm by telephone the date, 

time, and location of the hearing two 

days before the scheduled date. 

All submissions, including case and 

rebuttal briefs, as well as hearing 

requests, should be filed using ACCESS. 

An electronically-filed document must 

be received successfully in its entirety 

by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time 

on the established deadline.

subassemblies thereof, whether finished or 

unfinished and whether assembled or 

unassembled, with or without tires, wheels, 

seats, steering columns and steering wheels, 

canopies, roofs, or batteries. LSPTVs meeting 

this description are generally open-air 

vehicles with a minimum of four wheels, a 

steering wheel, a traditional side-by-side or 

in-line row seating arrangement (i.e., nonstraddle), foot operated accelerator and brake 

pedals, and a gross vehicle weight of no 

greater than 5,500 pounds. The main power 

source for subject LSPTVs is either an 

electric motor and battery (including but not 

limited to lithium-ion batteries, lithium 

phosphate batteries, lead acid batteries, and 

absorbed glass mat batteries) or a gaspowered internal combustion engine. Subject 

LSPTVs may be described as golf carts, golf 

cars, low speed vehicles, personal 

transportation vehicles, or light utility 

vehicles. 

LSPTVs subject to this investigation 

typically have a maximum top nameplate 

speed of no greater than 25 miles per hour 

as required by federal, state, and local laws 

and regulations. Subject LSPTVs with a 

maximum top nameplate speed greater than 

20 miles per hour normally must comply 

with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s 

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for 

Low-Speed Vehicles set forth in 49 CFR 

571.500. LSPTVs that otherwise meet the 

physical description of this scope but are not 

certified under 49 CFR 571.500 and are not 

certified under other sections of subpart B of 

the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 

(49 CFR part 571), are not excluded from this 

investigation. LSPTVs that are certified under 

both 49 CFR 571.500 and other sections of 

subpart B of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety 

Standards remain subject to the scope of this 

investigation. Subject LSPTVs that have a 

maximum top nameplate speed of less than 

25 miles per hour may be certified to the SAE 

International (SAE) standards SAE J2258 and 

SAE J2358. LSPTVs that have a maximum 

top nameplate speed of less than 20 miles per 

hour may also be certified to the Outdoor 

Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) standards 

OPEI Z130.1 and OPEI Z135. 

An unfinished and/or unassembled LSPTV 

subject to this investigation covers at a 

minimum a subassembly, also known as a 

‘‘rolling chassis,’’ which is typically 

comprised of, but not limited to, a frame or 

body with front and/or rear suspension 

components (such as arms, springs, axles, 

spindles, and shafts) installed and 

powertrain components (including either an 

electric motor or a gas-powered internal 

combustion engine) installed or ready for 

installation. 

When imported together with a rolling 

chassis subject to this investigation, other 

LSPTV components, such as batteries, 

bumpers, wheel and tire assemblies, 

cowlings, fenders, grills, kick plates, steering 

column and steering wheel assemblies, dash 

assembly, seat assemblies, pedal assemblies, 

brake assemblies, canopy or roof assemblies, 

temporary rain enclosures, windshields, 

mirrors, headlights, taillights, lighting 

systems, or storage—whether assembled or 

unassembled, whether as part of a kit or not, 

and whether or not accompanied by 

additional components—constitute part of an 

unfinished and/or unassembled LSPTV that 

is subject to this investigation. The inclusion 

of other products, components, or assemblies 

not described here does not remove the 

product from the scope. 

Subject LSPTVs and subassemblies are 

covered by the scope of this investigation 

whether or not they are accompanied by 

other parts. This investigation covers all 

LSPTVs and subassemblies meeting the 

physical description of the scope, regardless 

of overall length, width, or height. Individual 

components that do not comprise a subject 

LSPTV or subassembly that are entered and 

sold by themselves are not subject to the 

investigation, but components entered with a 

LSPTV or subassembly, whether finished or 

unfinished and whether assembled or 

unassembled, are subject merchandise. 

LSPTVs and subassemblies subject to this 

investigation include those that are produced 

in the subject country whether assembled 

with other components in the subject country 

or in a third country. Processing or 

completion of finished and unfinished 

LSPTVs and subassemblies either in the 

subject country or in a third country does not 

remove the product from the scope. 

Specifically excluded from the scope of 

this investigation are all-terrain vehicles 

(which typically have straddle seating and 

are steered by handlebars), multipurpose offhighway utility vehicles (which typically 

have a maximum top nameplate speed of 

greater than 25 miles per hour), and 

recreational off-highway vehicles (which 

typically have a maximum top nameplate 

speed of greater than 30 miles per hour). Also 

excluded from the scope are go-karts, electric 

scooters, golf trolleys, and mobility aids 

(which include power wheelchairs and 

scooters which are used for the express 

purpose of enabling mobility for a person). 

The LSPTVs subject to the investigation are 

typically classified in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) at 

subheading 8703.10.5030. LSPTVs subject to 

the investigation may also enter under 

HTSUS subheading 8703.10.5060 and 

8703.90.0100. The LSPTV subassemblies that 

are subject to the investigation typically enter 

under HTSUS subheadings 8706.00.1540 and 

8707.10.0040. The HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes only, and the written description of 

the merchandise subject to the investigation 

is dispositive.
