China Tire Makers Face Continued Antidumping Scrutiny
Published Date: 7/17/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Chinese tire makers sold passenger vehicle and light truck tires in the U.S. for less than fair value from August 2024 to July 2025. They’re stopping the review for 19 companies, but others still face possible duties. This means some tire imports might cost more soon, and companies have a chance to comment before final decisions.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary Finding: Dumping in 2024–2025
The Department of Commerce preliminarily found that some Chinese producers/exporters of passenger vehicle and light truck tires sold in the U.S. at less than normal value during the period August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025. This is a preliminary finding that could lead to antidumping duties when the final results are issued.
76.46% China‑Wide Antidumping Rate Stated
Commerce states that the China-wide entity rate of 76.46 percent remains in effect and, if Commerce continues to treat certain companies as part of the China-wide entity in the final results, it will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 76.46 percent to all entries produced and/or exported by those companies during the period of review.
Cash Deposit Rules After Final Results
Upon publication of the final results, cash deposit requirements will apply for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date: (1) exporters previously found to have separate rates keep their existing exporter-specific rate; (2) China exporters not found entitled to a separate rate will have the China‑wide deposit rate of 76.46 percent; and (3) non‑Chinese exporters without their own rate will use the rate of the China exporter that supplied them.
Review Rescinded for 19 Companies; Duties Assessed
Commerce is rescinding this administrative review for 19 named companies (17 with no suspended entries and 2 that withdrew requests). For the companies rescinded from review, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries at rates equal to the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry, and rescission instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after the notice publication.
