Extra Taxes Locked In on Subsidized Chinese Truck Tires
Published Date: 5/4/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep extra taxes on certain tires from China because removing them could let unfair government help continue. This affects companies making passenger and light truck tires in the U.S., protecting them from cheaper imports. These rules stay in place starting May 4, 2026, helping U.S. workers and businesses compete fairly.

Specified CVD rates for Chinese exporters
Commerce determined the net countervailable subsidy rates that would likely prevail, listing specific ad valorem rates: GITI Tire (Fujian) Co., Ltd — 38.15%; Cooper Kunshan Tire Co., Ltd — 21.68%; Shandong Yongsheng Rubber Group Co., Ltd — 116.73%; All Others — 31.56%. These rates are the figures Commerce reported in the Final Results of the expedited sunset review (applicable May 4, 2026).
Duties remain on Chinese passenger tires
The Department of Commerce decided to keep the countervailing duty (CVD) order in place on certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires from the People's Republic of China, effective May 4, 2026. The decision means extra import taxes remain to address countervailable subsidies and to preserve competitive conditions for U.S. tire manufacturers and workers.
