India Tire Duties Fixed: Commerce Corrects Calculation Blunders
Published Date: 4/29/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce fixed some math mistakes in the review of special off-the-road tires from India for 2023. This update mainly affects ATC Tires Private Limited and other companies not individually checked. These changes, effective April 29, 2026, could impact the duties those companies pay when selling tires in the U.S.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 2 mixed.
ATC Tire Subsidy Rate Raised
If you import or sell tires from ATC Tires Private Limited, Commerce amended ATC's estimated subsidy (dumping) margin from 5.96 percent to 7.44 percent for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. That higher percentage can increase the countervailing duties ATC products owe when entering the U.S.
Rate Set for Non-Reviewed Companies
Commerce set the estimated weighted-average subsidy rate for companies not selected for individual review at 4.91 percent for January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. If you import tires from any company on the non-reviewed list, that 4.91% rate will be used to calculate countervailing duties.
Cash Deposits Required From Publication Date
Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amounts shown for the listed companies for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after April 29, 2026. If you import these tires, CBP will begin collecting deposits on entries from that date forward.
BKT Margin Remains Unchanged
Commerce confirmed that BKT's final dumping margin remains 0.57 percent for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. If you import or sell BKT tires, your duty rate for that period stays at 0.57%.
Timing for Duty Assessment and Liquidation
Commerce will issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication (publication date April 29, 2026). If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, CBP will be instructed not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for a statutory injunction request has expired (within 90 days of publication).
