  • Notice of Lifting of Suspension Date: Jun 11, 2025
1. Notice of lifting of suspension of entries covered by paragraph 5 below occurred with this message and on the message date of these instructions. Unless instructed otherwise, for shipments of merchandise covered by the scope of the orders you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping and countervailing duties for the merchandise at the current rates. 2. On 05/05/2025, Commerce issued a final scope ruling that certain temporary-use spare T-Type tires produced by Shandong Linglong Tyre Co., Ltd and imported from the People's Republic of China by Logistical Resource Development Inc. are not covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on Passenger Vehicle Light Truck Tires from People's Republic of China (A-570-016, C-570-017). 3. Specifically, Commerce determined that T-Type tires are outside the scope of the orders because T-Type tires lack a "P" or "LT" prefix and their sizes (125mm wide, 80mm aspect ratio, 18" wheel diameter and 155mm wide, 85mm aspect ratio, 18" wheel diameter) are not of a size that is within the scope of the Order. 4. This final scope ruling is applicable only to merchandise produced by Shandong Linglong Tyre Co., Ltd. and imported by Logistical Resource Development Inc. 5. For all unliquidated entries of certain temporary-use spare T-Type tires produced by Shandong Linglong Tyre Co., Ltd and imported from the People's Republic of China by Logistical Resource Development Inc. that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after 12/30/2014 (the first date of suspension of liquidation in these proceedings), CBP should terminate suspension of liquidation and liquidate such entries without regard to antidumping and countervailing duties (i.e., refund all cash deposits). 6. The assessment of antidumping and countervailing duties by CBP on shipments or entries of this merchandise is subject to the provisions of section 778 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Section 778 requires that CBP pay interest on overpayments or assess interest on underpayments of the required amounts deposited as estimated antidumping and countervailing duties. The interest provisions are not applicable to cash posted as estimated antidumping and countervailing duties before the date of publication of the antidumping and countervailing duty order. Interest shall be calculated from the date payment of estimated antidumping and countervailing duties is required through the date of liquidation. The rate at which such interest is payable is the rate in effect under section 6621 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 for such period. 7. This instruction to liquidate entries of subject merchandise covered by this message does not limit CBP's independent authority, including its authority to suspend, continue to suspend, or extend liquidation of entries addressed by this message. Accordingly, CBP should examine all entries for which this message directs liquidation to determine whether any such entries are subject to suspension, continued suspension, or extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's independent authority (e.g., Enforce and Protect Act proceeding under section 517 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended). If entries of subject merchandise covered by this message are subject to suspension, continued suspension, or extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's own authority, CBP port officials should follow CBP's internal procedures with respect to continuing any suspension, the lifting of suspension, and/or continuing any extension of liquidation for such entries. 8. If there are any questions by the public regarding this message, please contact the Call Center for the Office of AD/CVD Operations, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce at (202) 482-0984. CBP ports should submit their inquiries through authorized CBP channels only. (This message was generated by OP:JVD.) 9. There are no restrictions on the release of this information. Alexander Amdur
