Commerce Reviews Indian Off-Road Tire Subsidies
Published Date: 6/25/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Indian makers of big off-the-road tires got unfair government help in 2024. This means extra duties might be charged on these tires to keep things fair for U.S. businesses. The review covers January to December 2024, and companies can still share their thoughts before final decisions.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary Subsidy Rates Assigned
If you import or sell certain new pneumatic off-the-road (OTR) tires from India, Commerce preliminarily assigned ad valorem countervailable subsidy rates for the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024: ATC Tires Private Limited 9.30%, Balkrishna Industries Ltd. 0.50%, and Companies Not Selected for Individual Review 4.90%. These are preliminary rates that Commerce published on June 25, 2026 and may lead to duties if finalized.
Assessment and Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review when the final results are issued, and will instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of the estimated duties for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results.
Scope Covers Most OTR Tire Types
The order covers OTR tires with an off-road tire size designation whether tube-type or tubeless, radial or non-radial, and whether for original equipment manufacturers or the replacement market. If you make, import, or sell any of these types of OTR tires from India, they fall within the scope described in the notice.
