    The Department of Commerce has issued a preliminary determination that passenger vehicle and light truck tires from Taiwan are being sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices. This investigation examined sales from April 2019 to March 2020, calculating specific dumping margins for two companies, Cheng Shin and Nankang, and established an "all-others" rate for other exporters. The Commerce Department has postponed the final decision due to requests by significant exporters to extend provisional measures, citing the need for more time to complete the investigation. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary findings before the final decision is made.
