Five‑Year Review of Tire Duties
The U.S. International Trade Commission has started a second five‑year review to decide whether revoking the countervailing and antidumping duty orders on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the U.S. domestic tire industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. Interested parties must respond by February 2, 2026, and the Commission will use responses to decide whether to conduct full or expedited reviews.
Duty Orders Currently In Effect
The Department of Commerce originally issued countervailing and antidumping duty orders on these Chinese tires on August 10, 2015, and Commerce continued those orders effective February 19, 2021. The Commission's review will determine whether those orders should remain in place or be revoked.
Data Submission Burden for Respondents
Parties who respond must provide detailed information (production, capacity, shipments, import quantities and values, etc.) for calendar year 2025, and the notice estimates a public reporting burden averaging 15 hours per response. Responses must be filed electronically through the Commission's EDIS system by 5:15 p.m. on February 2, 2026.
