# Passenger Vehicle and Light Truck Tires From Thailand: Preliminary Results and Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2023-2024
**AGENCY:**
Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
**SUMMARY:**
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that passenger vehicle and light truck tires (PVLT) from Thailand were sold in the United States at less than normal value (NV) by Sentury Tire (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (Sentury) during the period of review (POR) July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024. Commerce preliminarily determines that sales of PVLT from Thailand have not been made below NV by Sumitomo Rubber (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (SRT) during the POR. Additionally, Commerce is rescinding the review, in part, with respect to four companies. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.
**DATES:**
Applicable January 14, 2026.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
On July 1, 2024, Commerce published in the *Federal Register* a notice of opportunity [^1] to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PVLT from Thailand. [^2] On August 14, 2024, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the *Order.*[^3] On December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled the deadline to issue the preliminary results in this administrative review by 90 days. [^4] On June 25, 2025, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), Commerce extended the due date for the preliminary results until October 29, 2025. [^5] Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days. [^6] Additionally, due to a backlog of documents that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an additional 21 days. [^7] Accordingly, the deadline for these preliminary results is now January 5, 2026.

**Scope of the Order**
The products covered by the *Order* are PVLT from Thailand. For a complete description of the scope of the *Order, see* the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
**Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part**
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation. Requests for review were timely withdrawn for the companies identified in Appendix II of this notice. Because the requests for review were timely withdrawn and no other parties requested a review of these companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding the review with respect to these companies. [^9]
[^9]*See* American Omni Trading Company, LLC's Letter, “Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,” with respect to LLIT (Thailand) Co., Ltd., dated September 11, 2024; *see also* Maxxis International (Thailand) Co., Ltd.'s Letter, “Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,” dated October 30, 2024; General Rubber (Thailand) Co., Ltd.'s Letter, “Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,” dated November 12, 2024; and Otani Radial Co., Ltd. and Otani Tire Co., Ltd.'s Letter, “Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,” dated November 12, 2024. Although Sentury requested a withdrawal of review, we have not rescinded the review with respect to Sentury because the petitioner also requested a review of Sentury. *See* Sentury's Letter, “Sentury Withdrawal of Request for Antidumping Administrative Review,” dated November 12, 2024; *see also* Petitioner's Letter, “Review Request,” dated July 31, 2024.
**Methodology**
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Act. Export price and NV are calculated in accordance with sections 772 and 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying these preliminary results, *see* the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
**Rate for Companies Not Individually Examined**
The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment of a weighted-average dumping margin to be applied to companies not selected for individual examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, for guidance when calculating the weighted-average dumping margin for companies which were not selected for individual examination in an administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually examined, excluding rates that are zero, *de minimis* ( *i.e.,* less than 0.50 percent), or determined entirely on the basis of facts available.
Where the dumping margin for individually examined respondents are all zero, *de minimis,* or based entirely on facts available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act provides that Commerce may use “any reasonable method to establish the estimated all-others rate for exporters and producers not individually investigated, including averaging the estimated weighted average dumping margins determined for the exporters and producers individually investigated.”
In this review, we have preliminarily calculated a zero weighted-average dumping margin for SRT and calculated an above *de minimis* weighted-average dumping margin for Sentury. Accordingly, we have preliminarily assigned Sentury's estimated weighted-average dumping margin to the non-selected companies, [^10] consistent with section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act.
[^10]*See* Appendix III for a list of the non-selected companies.
**Preliminary Results of Review**
We preliminarily determine the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024:
[^11]*See* Appendix III.
| Producer/exporter | Weighted-average |
| --- | --- |
| Sentury Tire (Thailand) Co., Ltd | 2.94 |
| Sumitomo Rubber (Thailand) Co., Ltd | 0.00 |
| Review-Specific Rate for Non-Examined Companies | 2.94 |
**Disclosure**
Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties for these preliminary results of this administrative review within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in the *Federal Register* , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
**Public Comment**
Commerce will notify interested parties of the deadline for submission of case briefs. [^12] Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed not later than five days after the date for filing case briefs. [^13] Interested parties who submit case or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of authorities. [^14]
[^12]*See* 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii); *see also* 19 CFR 351.303 (for general filing requirements).
[^13]*See* 19 CFR 351.309(d); *see also Administrative Protective Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings,* 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29, 2023) ( *APO and Service Procedures* ).
[^14]*See* 19 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2)(iii) and (d)(2)(iii), we request that interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public, executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs. [^15] Further, we request that interested parties limit their public executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We intend to use the public executive summaries as the basis of the comment summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that will accompany the final results in this administrative review. We request that interested parties include footnotes for relevant citations in the public executive summary of each issue. Note that Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f). [^16]
[^15] We use the term “issue” here to describe an argument that Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
[^16]*See APO and Service Procedures.*
Interested parties who wish to request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via ACCESS. [^17] Requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants and whether any participant is a foreign national; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised in case and rebuttal briefs. [^18] If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined. A hearing request must be filed electronically using ACCESS and received in its entirety by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the publication of this notice.
[^17]*See* 19 CFR 351.310(c).
[^18]*See* 19 CFR 351.310.
**Final Results of Review**
Unless otherwise extended, commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the date of publication of this notice in the *Federal Register* , pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
**Assessment Rates**
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this administrative review in the *Federal Register* . If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired ( *i.e.,* within 90 days of publication).
If Sentury or SRT's weighted-average dumping margins are not zero or *de minimis* ( *i.e.,* less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this review, Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales in accordance with CFR 351.212(b)(1). [^19] Where we do not have entered values for all U.S. sales to a particular importer, we will calculate an importer-specific, per-unit assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total quantity of those sales. [^20] To determine whether an importer-specific, per-unit assessment rate is *de minimis,* in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also will calculate an importer-specific *ad valorem* ratio based on estimated entered values. If Sentury or SRT's weighted-average dumping margins are zero or *de minimis* or where an importer-specific *ad valorem* assessment rate is zero or *de minimis,* we will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. [^21]

In accordance with Commerce's “automatic assessment” practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Sentury or SRT for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the United States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate in the original LTFV investigation if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. [^22]
[^22] For a full discussion of this practice, *see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,* 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
For companies for which we are rescinding this administrative review ( *see* Appendix II) antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the POR, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). For these companies, Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of these preliminary results in the *Federal Register* .
**Cash Deposit Requirements**
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of this administrative review, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the companies listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this review (except, if that rate is *de minimis* within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), then the cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) for producers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently-completed segment of this proceeding in which they were reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or a prior segment of the proceeding but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 17.06 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation. [^23] These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
[^23]*See Order,* 86 FR at 38012.
**Notification to Importers**
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
**Notification to Interested Parties**
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
