Commerce Slaps Preliminary Duties on Cheap Chinese Tires
Published Date: 2/11/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Chinese companies sold passenger and light truck tires in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from August 2023 to July 2024. They’re stopping the review for 16 companies that either didn’t ask for it or had no sales during this time. This means some importers might face new duties soon, and everyone involved can share their thoughts before the final decision.
