US Department of Commerce finds 125.5% counter-veiling duty for Jiangsu General, rescinds investigations of 9 other firms

While on this side of the Atlantic, all parts of the market have been looking for details of the apparently forthcoming European anti-dumping investigation into Chinese-produce car tyres, on the other side of the Pond, the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) has released preliminary results of its administrative review of 2023 countervailing duty on certain passenger car and truck tyres imported into the USA from China. In short, Jiangsu General Science Technology Co., Ltd. received countervailable subsidies at a rate of 125.5 per cent ad valorem during the review period (1 January to 31 December 2023). The review, initiated in August 2024, also rescinded investigations for nine other companies (see below). DOC will instruct US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash deposits based on final results, expected by 1 August 2025, which could impact tyre imports from China.

US ups Chinese tyre import tariffs

, ,

On Friday 12 June, the US Department of Commerce (Commerce) gave its final determinations in the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations relating to the importation of Chinese produced passenger vehicle and light truck tyres. While many analysts and observers had expected the tariff percentages to be reduced – based on previous experience of similar cases – in fact they were increased. In some cases the combined anti-dumping and countervailing duties are north of 188 per cent. While this is at the top end of the range, and notwithstanding one or two exceptions, most tyre companies manufacturer in China or importing Chinese tyres into the US, will now have to pay significantly more than was first thought.

The exceptions: what’s not covered by US tyre import tariffs

,

When is a tariff-able tyre not subject to an import tariff? When there are exceptions. With the latest round of US tyre import tariffs aimed squarely at imports of Chinese-produced tyres, it is useful to know what isn’t covered and why.

Following the news that the preliminary ruling is effective 1 December 2014 and retroactive for 90 days prior to this date, further details of what is and what isn’t covered by the rules have emerged. But first a couple of clarifications. There are two categories of import duties that the US government has and is deliberating over. Details of the first – countervailing duties – have already been reported and preliminarily decided upon. All things being equal, the final verdict for these will be issued “no later than 6 April 2015”. Within 45 days after this, the US International Trade Commission will make its own decision about what anti-dumping import tariffs to impose. Therefore total tariffs could be very substantial.
