The U.S. Department of Commerce maintains an antidumping (AD) duty order, case A-570-016, on certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China. This is an AD order only; no separate countervailing duty case number is provided here. Importers should verify whether their specific tires may fall within the written scope.

Scope — simplified screening examples, not full legal scope

The official written scope controls. The examples below are screening references only.

Products that may be covered (examples)

•New pneumatic tires that may include passenger car tires designed for standard sedans and hatchbacks
•Light truck tires that may include those fitted to pickups and light vans
•Tires marked with passenger (P) or light-truck (LT) size designations
•Tires imported mounted on rims or wheels, which may still be covered depending on scope
•Tires imported as part of an assembled vehicle wheel/tire package
•Replacement (aftermarket) tires as well as tires for original-equipment use

Products that may require separate review or may fall outside this order

?Racing tires or specialty competition tires may commonly fall outside the order
?Tires designed for tractors, farm equipment, or off-the-road (OTR) use may be excluded
?Aircraft tires typically fall outside this scope
?Bicycle and motorcycle tires may be outside the order
?Solid rubber or non-pneumatic tires may not be covered
?Retreaded or used tires may fall outside the scope depending on Commerce's written language

Scope control: HTS codes are screening references only; Commerce's written scope language controls whether a product is covered, and parts, unfinished, or mounted tire assemblies may still be covered depending on that scope.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers, distributors, and retailers bringing in new pneumatic passenger car or light truck tires of Chinese origin, whether for aftermarket sale or as tire/wheel assemblies.

What the duty means

AD duties are collected as cash deposits at the time of entry; rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review and can be high. A 0% cash-deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and the entry must be declared as subject merchandise.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice description and confirm it matches the actual product
☐Collect product photos and spec sheets showing size markings (P/LT designations)
☐Document the material composition and tire construction (pneumatic vs. non-pneumatic)
☐Record the intended use (passenger/light truck vs. OTR, racing, aircraft, etc.)
☐Obtain country-of-origin support and manufacturing records
☐Identify the exact manufacturer and exporter names, and confirm the specific producer/exporter combination
☐Determine and verify the HTS classification for screening only
☐Confirm scope questions with a licensed customs broker or trade counsel
☐Verify the applicable cash-deposit rate against current Commerce review results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing, and do not rely only on supplier statements

Risks to watch

⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings where goods are routed through a third country to disguise Chinese origin
⚠Scope inquiries that may bring borderline products within the order
⚠Using the wrong exporter/producer combination, which can result in a higher applicable rate
⚠Misdeclaration of subject merchandise, which can lead to penalties and retroactive duty assessments

The same type of tire may be subject to separate orders from other countries, so importers should independently review each country of origin without engaging in any evasion of duties.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China?

There is an antidumping (AD) duty order, case A-570-016, covering certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China. Whether a specific product is covered depends on Commerce's written scope, so importers should verify.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption; the AD order still applies, the merchandise must be declared as subject, and rates can change with administrative reviews.

Are parts or unassembled tires covered?

Tire assemblies (for example, tires mounted on rims) or related items may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope language; importers should confirm with a licensed broker.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are new pneumatic passenger car or light truck tires of Chinese origin; separate review is needed for specialty tires, mounted assemblies, retreaded/used tires, and any third-country processing.

Bottom line: Certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China may be covered by AD order A-570-016; confirm scope, origin, exporter/producer identity, and current deposit rates before entry.

Not a scope determination or filing advice — confirm coverage and current deposit rates with a licensed customs broker and the latest Commerce/CBP instructions before entry.
