Commerce is issuing antidumping duty

Background
In accordance with sections 735(d)
and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), on May 27, 2021,
Commerce published its affirmative
final determinations in the less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigations of
passenger tires from Korea, Taiwan, and
Thailand.1 In the investigation of
passenger tires from Thailand,
Sumitomo Rubber (Thailand), Ltd.
(SRT) submitted a timely allegation on
the record that Commerce made

ministerial errors in the final AD
determination.2 We reviewed the
allegation and determined that we made
ministerial errors in the final AD
determination on passenger tires from
Thailand. See ‘‘Amendment to the Final
Determination for Thailand’’ section
below for further discussion. On July 12,
2021, the ITC notified Commerce of its
final determinations, pursuant to
section 735(d) of the Act, 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 LTFV imports of passenger
tires from Korea, Taiwan, and
Thailand.3
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders
are passenger tires from Korea, Taiwan,
and Thailand. For a complete
description of the scope of these orders,
see the appendix to this notice.
Amendment to the Final Determination
for Thailand
On June 2, 2021, Sumitomo Rubber
(Thailand) Co., Ltd. (SRT) timely alleged
that Commerce made certain ministerial
errors in the Thailand Final
Determination with respect to the duty
margin assigned to SRT in the passenger
tires from Thailand investigation.4 No
other party made an allegation of
ministerial errors or submitted a rebuttal
to SRT’s ministerial error allegation
under 19 CFR 351.224(c)(3). Commerce
reviewed the record and, on July 12,
2021, agreed that the errors alleged by
SRT constituted ministerial errors
within the meaning of section 735(e) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f).5
Specifically, Commerce found that it
made inadvertent errors in calculating
SRT’s variable cost of manufacturing
and by incorrectly identifying in the
margin program which data files to use
in calculating SRT’s final dumping
margin. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e),
Commerce is amending the Thailand
Final Determination to reflect the
correction of the ministerial errors, as
described in the Ministerial Error
Memorandum.6 Based on the
SRT’s Letter, ‘‘Passenger Vehicle and Light
Truck Tires from Thailand: Ministerial Error
Comments,’’ dated June 2, 2021 (Ministerial Error
Allegation).
3 See ITC Notification Letter, Investigation Nos.
701–TA–647 and 731–TA–1517–1520 (Final), dated
July 12, 2021 (ITC Notification Letter).
4 See Ministerial Error Allegation.
5 See Memorandum, ‘‘Antidumping Duty
Investigation of Passenger Vehicle and Light Truck
Tires from Thailand: Allegation of Ministerial
Errors in the Final Determination,’’ dated
concurrently with this Federal Register notice
(Ministerial Error Memorandum).

corrections, SRT’s final dumping margin
rate changed from 14.62 percent to
14.59 percent. As a result, we are also
revising the all-others rate from 17.08
percent to 17.06 percent. The amended
estimated weighted-average dumping
margins are listed in the ‘‘Estimated
Weighted-Average Dumping Margins’’
section below.
Antidumping Duty Orders
On July 12, 2021, in accordance with
section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC
notified Commerce of its final
determinations in these investigations,
in which it found that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by
reason of imports of passenger tires from
Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.7
Therefore, in accordance with section
735(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is
issuing these antidumping duty orders.
Because the ITC determined that
imports of passenger tires from Korea,
Taiwan, and Thailand are materially
injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated
entries of such merchandise from Korea,
Taiwan, and Thailand, entered or
withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, 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 passenger tires from
Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. With the
exception of entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures
period and before publication of the
ITC’s final affirmative injury
determinations, as further described
below, antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of
passenger tires from Korea, Taiwan, and
Thailand, entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption, on or after
January 6, 2021, the date of publication
of the Preliminary Determinations.8
