The U.S. Commerce Department has set preliminary anti-dumping duties ranging from 12.5 percent to 81.29 percent on tires imported from China.
Five years ago, following a previous USW complaint, the US imposed AD and CVD tariffs on similar Chinese tires, but those duties expired three years later in 2012. The US Commerce Department has now issued a preliminary finding that Chinese producers of the relevant tires are receiving subsidies from the Chinese Government.
