Five-Year Review: PVLT Tires from S. Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam
The US International Trade Commission has initiated five-year reviews to determine whether to maintain countervailing and antidumping duty orders on passenger vehicle and light truck (PVLT) tires from Vietnam, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. Under the Tariff Act of 1930, these periodic reviews assess whether revoking current duties would likely cause a recurrence of material injury to the US tire industry. Interested parties—including domestic producers, importers, and foreign exporters—must submit substantive responses by the Commission's deadline to influence the outcome.
Russia launches safeguard investigation on car tyres
Russia initiated a safeguard investigation on 7 May 2026 into imports of motor car pneumatic tyres into the Eurasian Economic Union customs territory, notifying the WTO on 14 May. Safeguard investigations typically examine whether import surges cause serious injury to domestic industry and may result in temporary tariffs or quotas. Shippers moving tyres through Russia or EEU markets should monitor the investigation timeline and potential trade remedies.
US extends China tire tariffs after sunset review
The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that revoking the countervailing duty (CVD) order on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China would likely lead to continued subsidies. Commerce has extended the existing CVD order, meaning duties on Chinese passenger tires remain in effect. Importers of tires from China will continue to pay countervailing duties calculated on a company-specific basis.
US extends anti-dumping duties on Chinese passenger tires
The U.S. Department of Commerce has issued final results of an expedited second sunset review on antidumping duties covering certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires imported from China. Commerce determined that revoking the order would likely result in continuation or recurrence of dumping. The duties remain in force, affecting importers of passenger and light truck tires from China.
US lifts antidumping review on Korean passenger tires
The U.S. Department of Commerce has rescinded its administrative review of antidumping duties on passenger vehicle and light truck tires imported from South Korea for the period July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025. This means the existing antidumping duty order remains in place, but no new duty margins will be calculated or assessed for this review period. Shippers importing Korean tires should continue to apply the rates established under the original antidumping order unless Commerce issues further notices.
