WASHINGTON The Department of Commerce has cut the anti-dumping import duties imposed on passenger and light truck tires shipped to the U.S from Taiwan by Cheng Shin Rubber Ind. Co. Ltd./Maxxis International by nearly 20 percentage points, in response to appeals filed by the company.
The duty for Cheng Shin drops to 33.33% from 52.42%, Commerce said, because the agency made significant ministerial errors regarding Cheng Shin s arm s-length test results and inclusion of Channel 3 sales in the home market sales database.
At the same time, Commerce dropped the all others duty rate which applies to all companies in Taiwan other than Cheng Shin and Nankang Rubber Tire Corp. Ltd. to 84.33% from 88.82% in response to petitions filed by Nankang.
