SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 19, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD
order on passenger tires from Korea.\1\ Commerce received timely
requests for review of the Order from Hankook Tire & Technology Co.,
Ltd. and Hankook Tire America Corp. (collectively, Hankook), Nexen Tire
Corporation (Nexen), and Kumho Tire Co., Inc. (Kumho).\2\ On August 22,
2025, Commerce published the initiation notice in the Federal Register
for four companies, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act).\3\ Between August 2025 and January 2026,
interested parties timely withdrew their requests for an administrative
review.\4\

Republic of Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand: Antidumping Duty Orders and

\2\ See Hankook's Letter, ``Request for Administrative Review,''
dated July 28, 2025; see also Nexen's Letter, ``Request for
Administrative Review,'' dated July 31, 2025; Kumho's Letter,
``Request for Administrative Review,'' dated July 31, 2025.

Letter, ``Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,'' dated
January 6, 2026; Kumho's Letter, ``Withdraw Request for
Administrative Review,'' dated January 6, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days.\5\ 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.\6\ Accordingly, the deadline for these preliminary
results is now June 9, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Memorandum, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of the
Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.
\6\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of all Case Deadlines,'' dated
November 24, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review in the
Federal Register. All parties withdrew their requests for review by the
90-day withdrawal deadline, and no other parties requested a review.
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is
rescinding this review.
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Antidumping
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit rate of
estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to
CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this
rescission notice in the Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only 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 Regarding Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
an APO of their responsibility concerning the disposition of
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary
information in these segments of these proceedings. Timely written
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: April 24, 2026.
Scot Fullerton,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations.
