Published Date: 8/14/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that certain exporters of passenger vehicle and light truck tires (passenger tires) from the People's Republic of China (China) made sales of subject merchandise at prices below than normal value during the period of review (POR), August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2024.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
High Dumping Margins Assigned
Commerce found weighted-average antidumping margins for specific Chinese exporters for the period August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024: Qingdao Transamerica 59.15%, Shandong Haohua 78.33%, and Triangle Tyre 59.77%. Importers of tires from these exporters will face duties calculated using these percentages when assessment occurs.
China-Wide Rate Remains 76.46%
Commerce affirmed the China-wide antidumping rate of 76.46%; companies not eligible for a separate rate (for example, Qingdao Fullrun Tyre Tech Corp., Ltd.) and certain unreviewed exporters will be subject to this 76.46% rate. Entries exported by entities treated as part of the China-wide entity will be liquidated or assessed at 76.46%.
Cash Deposit Rates Effective Upon Publication
Cash deposit requirements for shipments of the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date (August 14, 2026) will be set as follows: separate-rate companies pay the rates from these final results, exporters without a separate rate pay the China-wide rate of 76.46%, and non‑China exporters use the rate of their Chinese supplier. These cash deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice.
Importer Certificate and Reimbursement Risk
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties and/or increase antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Timing Rules for Duty Assessment and Liquidation
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties in accordance with these final results and intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, CBP will be directed not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to seek a statutory injunction has expired (within 90 days of publication).
