Commerce announced the duty in the March 5 Federal Register. It resulted from an administrative review of OTR tire imports between Sept. 1, 2016 and Aug. 31, 2017.

The agency issued a preliminary determination on Weihai Oct. 11, according to the final notice. It invited interested parties to submit comments, but none did.

Wehai Zhongwei appealed again, however, and gained a second reduction, to 33.58 percent, in 2017, but the company appealed that again.
