Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping and/or countervailing 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this POR. Failure 

to comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping and/or 

countervailing duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties, and/or an increase 

in the amount of antidumping duties by 

the amount of the countervailing duties. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to 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 subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results of administrative review in 

accordance with sections 751(a) and 

777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR

SUMMARY: Based on the affirmative final 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC), 

Commerce is issuing an antidumping 

duty order on truck and bus tires from 

Thailand.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 735(d) 

and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), on October 17, 2024, 

Commerce published in the Federal 

Register its affirmative final 

determination of sales at less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) in the investigation of 

truck and bus tires from Thailand.1 As 

part of its determination, Commerce 

made an affirmative crticial 

cirumstances finding for Bridgestone 

Corporation in the LTFV investigation. 

Pursuant to section 735(d) of the Act, on 

December 2, 2024, the ITC notified 

Commerce of its affirmative final 

determination that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured, 

within the meaning of section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of 

imports of truck and bus tires from 

Thailand that are sold in the United 

States at LTFV.2 On December 6, 2024, 

in accordance with section 735(d) of the 

Act, the ITC published in the Federal 

Register its affirmative final injury 

determination in this 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 Thailand.3 In addition, the ITC 

found that critical circumstances do not 

exist with regard to imports of truck and 

bus tires from Thailand.4

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this order 

are truck and bus tires from Thailand. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of this order, see the appendix to this 

notice. 

Antidumping Duty Order 

Based on the above-referenced 

affirmative final determinations, in 

accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 

736 of the Act, Commerce is issuing this 

antidumping duty order. Moreover, 

because the ITC determined that U.S. 

imports of truck and bus tires from 

Thailand are materially injuring a U.S. 

industry, unliquidated entries of such 

merchandise from Thailand, entered or 

withdrawn from warehouse for 

consumption, as described below, are 

subject to the assessment of 

antidumping duties. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will 

direct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (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 Thailand. With the exception of 

entries occurring after expiration of the 

provisional measures period, but before 

publication of the ITC’s final affirmative 

injury determination, as further 

described below, antidumping duties 

will be assessed on unliquidated U.S. 

entries of truck and bus tires from 

Thailand entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date on which the suspension of 

liquidation was first ordered. As 

discussed in the Final Determination, 

with respect to Prinx Chengshan Tire 

(Thailand) Co., Ltd. (Prinx) this date is 

October 17, 2024, the date of 

publication of the Final Determination 

in the Federal Register.5 With respect to 

Bridgestone Corporation and all other 

companies, this date is May 20, 2024, 

the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register.6

12This segment will be combined with the 

ACCESS Segment Specific Information (SSI) field 

which will display the month in which the notice 

of the order or suspended investigation was 

published in the Federal Register, also known as 

the anniversary month. For example, for an order 

under case number A–000–000 that was published 

in the Federal Register in January, the relevant 

segment and SSI combination will appear in 

ACCESS as ‘‘AISL-January Anniversary.’’ Note that 

there will be only one annual inquiry service list 

segment per case number, and the anniversary 

month will be pre-populated in ACCESS. 

Critical Circumstances 

With respect to the ITC’s negative 

critical circumstances determination on 

imports of truck and bus tires from 

Thailand, we will instruct CBP to lift 

the suspension of liquidation and to 

refund all cash deposits for estimated 

antidumping duties with respect to 

entries of the subject merchandise 

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, but before May 20, 2024, 

which is the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination.7

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation and Cash Deposits 

Except as noted in the ‘‘Provisional 

Measures’’ section of this notice below, 

in accordance with section 736 of the 

Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

continue to suspend liquidation of all 

relevant entries of truck and bus tires 

from Thailand. These instructions 

suspending liquidation will remain in 

effect until further notice. 

Commerce will also instruct CBP to 

require cash deposits at a rate equal to 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins listed in the table 

below. Accordingly, effective on the 

date of publication in the Federal 

Register of the notice of the ITC’s 

affirmative final injury determination, 

CBP will suspend the entries of 

liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise and require, at the same 

time as importers would normally 

deposit estimated duties on subject 

merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margins 

listed in the table below. The all-others 

rate applies to all producers or exporters 

not specifically listed, as appropriate. 

Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping 

Margins 

The estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins for this antidumping 

duty order are as follows: 

Producer or exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Bridgestone Corporation ............. 48.39 

Prinx Chengshan Tire (Thailand) 

Co., Ltd ................................... 12.33 

All Others .................................... 12.33 

Provisional Measures 

Section 733(d) of the Act states that 

suspension of liquidation pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months, except where exporters 

representing a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise 

request that Commerce extend the fourmonth period to no more than six 

months. Commerce published the 

Preliminary Determination in this 

investigation on May 20, 2024. 

Commerce extended the deadline for 

issuing its final determination in this 

investigation, which it published in the 

Federal Register on October 17, 2024. 

Therefore, the six-month provisional 

measures period beginning on the date 

of publication of the Preliminary 

Determination for Bridgestone and all 

other companies ended on November 

15, 2024. As noted above, suspension of 

liquidation for Prinx was not ordered 

until October 17, 2024, the date of 

publication of the Final Determination 

in the Federal Register; 8 therefore, the 

six-month provisional measures period 

for Prinx has not yet ended. 

Consequently, in accordance with 

section 733(d) of the Act, Commerce 

will instruct CBP to terminate the 

suspension of liquidation, and to 

liquidate, without regard to 

antidumping duties, unliquidated U.S. 

entries of truck and bus tires from 

Thailand entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

November 16, 2024, the first day on 

which the provisional measures were no 

longer in effect for Bridgestone and all 

other companies, through the day 

preceding the date of publication of the 

ITC Final Determination in the Federal 

Register. Suspension of liquidation and 

the collection of cash deposits will 

resume on the date of publication of the 

ITC Final Determination in the Federal 

Register. 

Establishment of the Annual Inquiry 

Service Lists 

On September 20, 2021, Commerce 

published the final rule titled 

Regulations to Improve Administration 

and Enforcement of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Laws in the Federal 

Register.9 On September 27, 2021, 

Commerce published a notification 

titled Scope Ruling Application; Annual 

Inquiry Service List; and Informational 

Sessions in the Federal Register.10 The 

Final Rule and Procedural Guidance 

provide that Commerce will maintain an 

annual inquiry service list for each 

order or suspended investigation, and 

any interested party submitting a scope 

ruling application or request for 

circumvention inquiry shall serve a 

copy of the application or request on the 

persons on the annual inquiry service 

list for that order, as well as any 

companion order covering the same 

merchandise from the same country of 

origin.11

In accordance with the Procedural 

Guidance, for orders published in the 

Federal Register after November 4, 

2021, Commerce will create an annual 

inquiry service list segment in 

Commerce’s online e-filing and 

document management system, 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS), 

available at https://access.trade.gov, 

within five business days of publication 

of the notice of the order. Each annual 

inquiry service list will be maintained 

in ACCESS, under each case number, 

and under a specific segment type 

called ‘‘AISL-Annual Inquiry Service 

List.’’ 12

Interested parties who wish to be 

added to the annual inquiry service list 

for an order must submit an entry of 

appearance in the annual inquiry 

service list segment in ACCESS for the 

order within 30 days after the date of 

publication of the order in the Federal 

Register. For ease of administration, 

Commerce requests that a law firm with 

more than one attorney representing an 

interested party in an order designate a 

lead attorney to be included on the 

annual inquiry service list. Commerce 

will finalize the annual inquiry service 

list within five business days thereafter. 

As mentioned in the Procedural 

Guidance, the new annual inquiry 

service list will be in place until the 

following year, when the Opportunity 

Notice for the anniversary month of the 

order is published in the Federal 

Register.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 17, 2024 / Notices 102113 

13See Final Rule, 86 FR 52335. 

Commerce may update an annual 

inquiry service list at any time, as 

needed, based on interested parties’ 

amendments to their entries of 

appearance to remove, or otherwise 

modify, their list of members and 

representatives, or to update contact 

information. Changes or announcements 

pertaining to these procedures will be 

posted to the ACCESS website at 

https://access.trade.gov. 

Special Instructions for Petitioners and 

Foreign Governments 

In the Final Rule, Commerce stated 

that, ‘‘after an initial request and 

placement on the annual inquiry service 

list, both petitioners and foreign 

governments will automatically be 

placed on the annual inquiry service list 

in the years that follow.’’ 13

Accordingly, as stated above, the 

petitioners and foreign governments 

should submit their initial entry of 

appearance after publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register in order 

to appear in the first annual inquiry 

service list. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.225(n)(3), the petitioners and 

foreign governments will not need to 

resubmit their entries of appearance 

each year to continue to be included on 

the annual inquiry service list. 

However, the petitioners and foreign 

governments are responsible for making 

amendments to their entries of 

appearance during the annual update to 

the annual inquiry service list in 

accordance with the procedures 

described above. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice constitutes the 

antidumping duty order with respect to 

truck and bus tires from Thailand, 

pursuant to section 736(a) of the Act. 

Interested parties can find a list of 

antidumping duty orders currently in 

effect at https://www.trade.gov/datavisualization/adcvd-proceedings.

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 the scope may be 

tube-type, tubeless, radial, or non-radial 

(also known as bias construction or biasply). 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 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 (also 

known as non-radial 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: 

4011.90.1010, 4011.90.1050, 

4011.90.2010, 4011.90.2050, 

4011.90.8010, 4011.90.8050, 

8708.70.4530, 8708.70.4546, 

8708.70.4548, 8708.70.4560, 

8708.70.6030, 8708.70.6045, 

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.
