1. Commerce received a scope ruling request from American Omni Trading Company LLC (American Omni) and Unicorn Tire Corporation (Unicorn Tire). Commerce issued a final scope determination on 05/27/2016 that 30 tire sizes, which American Omni and Unicorn Tire imports are not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires from the People's Republic of China. These tire sizes are: 285/25ZR20, 225/30ZR20, 235/35ZR20, 245/35ZR20, 265/45ZR20, 275/50ZR20, 285/30ZR21, 295/35ZR21, 295/40ZR21, 285/25ZR22, 295/25ZR22, 235/30ZR22, 245/30ZR22, 255/30ZR22, 265/30ZR22, 295/30ZR22, 285/35ZR22, 245/30ZR24, 275/30ZR24, 255/30ZR26, 295/30ZR26, 255/25ZR28, 275/25ZR28, 295/25ZR28, 275/25ZR30, 265/30ZR30, 255/30ZR22, 285/35ZR22, 295/30ZR26, 305/30ZR26.

2. Commerce determined that these tire sizes are outside the scope of the order because they fall under exclusion two of the order – the tires are not of a size listed in the Tire and Rim Association Year Book's chapters on passenger vehicles or light truck tires. Therefore, these tire sizes are not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires from the People's Republic of China.

3. For all entries of these 30 tire sizes not within scope that remain unliquidated on or after 01/27/2015, CBP shall terminate suspension and liquidate entries of product not within scope which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption.

4. Refund any cash deposits relating to the tires described above.

5. These instructions constitute notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of these 30 tire sizes entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 01/27/2015.

6. The assessment of antidumping 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 duties. The interest provisions are not applicable to cash or bonds posted as estimated antidumping duties before the date of publication of the antidumping duty order. Interest shall be calculated from the date payment of estimated antidumping 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. Unless instructed otherwise, for all other shipments of certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires from the People's Republic of China not covered by paragraph 2 above, you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties for the merchandise at the current rates.
