US releases report on Chinese tyre tariffs

The full report on the circumstances and arguments behind the decision to approve antidumping and countervailing duties against passenger car and light commercial vehicles tyres from China has been published by the US International Trade Commission. The report, titled ‘Certain Passenger Vehicle and Light Truck Tires from China’, can be read here.

The ITC introduces its more than 200 page report with a preamble that states: “Based on the record in the final phase of these investigations, we find that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of certain passenger vehicle and light truck tyres from China that the US Department of Commerce has found to be sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidised by the government of China.”
