SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 16, 2018, Commerce 

published its Final Results in the 2015– 

2016 AD administrative review of 

passenger tires from China. In the Final 

Results, Commerce determined that 

Pirelli Tyre Co. did not qualify for a 

separate rate because it failed to rebut 

the presumption of de facto or de jure 

Chinese government control of its 

operations during the POR.1 In addition, 

Commerce also denied Pirelli Tyre Co. 

a separate rate for the portion of the 

administrative review before China 

National Chemical Corporation (Chem 

China) acquired majority indirect 

ownership in the company, January 

2015 to October 2015.2

Pirelli 3 appealed Commerce’s Final 

Results. On November 27, 2019, the 

Court remanded the Final Results to 

Commerce for a more fulsome 

discussion of the criteria for de jure and 

de facto government control regarding 

Commerce’s finding that Pirelli does not 

qualify for a separate rate, stating that 

Commerce failed to 

adequately explain how the acquisition of 

Pirelli S.p.A. by Chem China in Italy altered 

the ownership of Pirelli entities in China 

such that the rebuttable presumption of 

government ownership applies or that if the 

presumption applies, that evidence on the 

record was not sufficient to rebut the 

presumption.4

In the Passenger Tires First Remand 

Redetermination issued in March 2020, 

Commerce continued to find that Pirelli 

Tyre Co. failed to rebut the presumption 

of de facto Chinese-government control 

during the POR.5 On December 21, 

2020, the Court sustained Commerce’s 

finding on remand that Pirelli Tyre Co. 

failed to rebut the presumption of 

government control and Commerce’s 

assignment of the China-wide entity rate 

to Pirelli Tyre Co. for the period October 

20, 2015, through July 31, 2016. 

However, the Court remanded 

Commerce’s irrecoverable value-added 

tax (VAT) determination, ordering 

Commerce to recalculate Qingdao 

Sentury’s 6 export price without any 

adjustment for its irrecoverable VAT.7

In the Passenger Tires Second 

Remand Redetermination issued on 

March 1, 2021, Commerce removed the 

downward adjustment to Qingdao 

Sentury’s export price accounting for its 

irrecoverable VAT from our final 

calculations, and accordingly, revised 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

for Qingdao Sentury as well as for 

certain separate rate respondents.8 The

2010) (Diamond Sawblades). 

Court sustained Commerce’s 

recalculation of the weighted-average 

dumping margin for Qingdao Sentury 

and certain separate rate respondents, 

but remanded the issue of whether 

Pirelli Tyre Co. was eligible for separate 

rate status for the period prior to Chem 

China’s acquisition, January 27, 2015, 

through October 19, 2015.9

In the Passenger Tires Third Remand 

Redetermination, issued on December 3, 

2021, Commerce found that Pirelli Tyre 

Co. rebutted the presumption of de jure 

and de facto Chinese government 

control, and as a result, found that 

Pirelli Tyre Co. is eligible for a separate 

rate during the period January 27, 2015, 

through October 19, 2015.10 On May 19, 

2022, the Court sustained Commerce’s 

final redetermination.11

Timken Notice 

In its decision in Timken,12 as 

clarified by Diamond Sawblades,13 the 

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal 

Circuit held that, pursuant to section 

516A(c) and (e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act), Commerce must 

publish a notice of court decision that 

is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with a Commerce 

determination and must suspend 

liquidation of entries pending a 

‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The 

Court’s May 19, 2022, judgment 

constitutes a final decision of the Court 

that is not in harmony with Commerce’s 

Final Results. Thus, this notice is 

published in fulfillment of the 

publication requirements of Timken. 

Amended Final Results 

Because there is now a final court 

judgment, Commerce is amending its 

Final Results with respect to Qingdao 

Sentury Tire Co., Ltd., certain separate 

rate companies, and Pirelli Tyre Co., 

Ltd. as follows:
