China Truck and Bus Tires: Refunds for Guizhou AD Cash Deposits Before February 2020

The Commerce Department recently amended its antidumping duty order on truck and bus tires from China (A-570-040) to exempt merchandise produced and exported by Guizhou Tyre Import and Export Co., Ltd. from any antidumping duties on entries prior to Feb. 22, 2020, the agency said in a notice. Commerce said the orders, which were issued nearly two years after the investigations ended when the International Trade Commission reversed its finding that imports of truck and bus tires didn’t injure U.S. industry, should have taken effect only after the ITC affirmative injury determinations were sustained by the Court of International Trade on Feb. 18, 2020. Instead, Commerce had issued the orders in February 2019 after it was notified of the change but before CIT approved it. Commerce said it will refund all cash deposits collected on entries from Guizhou Tyre during the period Feb. 15, 2019, through Feb. 21, 2020.
