Effective/entry-specific deposit and liquidation treatment depends on Commerce and CBP instructions, not only the publication date.

The U.S. Department of Commerce maintains both an antidumping duty order (A-570-090) and a countervailing duty order (C-570-091) on certain steel wheels 12 to 16.5 inches in diameter from China. Because both AD and CVD orders exist, importers of matching goods may face two separate cash-deposit requirements at entry and should verify scope carefully.

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)

•May include steel wheels for trailers with rim diameters between 12 and 16.5 inches
•May include steel wheels used on utility, boat, and cargo trailers in the covered size range
•May include finished steel wheels combining a steel rim and steel disc
•May include steel wheels imported unpainted, painted, or with surface coatings
•May include steel wheels imported with or without tires, valve stems, or hardware
•May include steel wheel discs or rims imported separately within the covered size range, depending on scope

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

?Steel wheels with rim diameters below 12 inches or above 16.5 inches may fall outside the order
?Aluminum or other non-steel wheels may generally be outside the scope
?Wheels for passenger cars or heavy trucks outside the covered size range may be excluded
?Complete tire-and-wheel assemblies may be treated differently depending on Commerce's written scope
?Certain specialty or off-highway wheels may fall outside scope depending on specifications

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

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers of steel trailer, utility, or cargo wheels 12 to 16.5 inches in diameter sourced from China, including finished wheels and potentially separately imported rims or discs.

What the duty means

Covered goods require cash deposits at entry; because both an AD order (A-570-090) and a CVD order (C-570-091) exist, both deposits may apply. Rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review and can be high; a 0% deposit rate is NOT an exemption—the order still applies and entries must be declared.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice description and confirm the exact rim diameter in inches
☐Collect product photos and spec sheets showing wheel dimensions and construction
☐Verify the material composition to confirm whether the wheel is steel
☐Document the intended use and vehicle or trailer application
☐Obtain country-of-origin support tracing manufacture back to China or elsewhere
☐Identify the specific manufacturer, exporter, and producer names on the transaction
☐Confirm the exact producer/exporter combination, since cash-deposit rates depend on it
☐Confirm the HTS classification and treat it only as a screening reference
☐Consult a licensed customs broker to confirm scope, and do not rely only on supplier statements; verify the rate against current Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing

Risks to watch

⚠Potential circumvention or transshipment findings where goods are routed through third countries
⚠Scope inquiries if the product's size, construction, or use is uncertain
⚠Applying the wrong exporter/producer combination, resulting in an incorrect cash-deposit rate
⚠Misdeclaration or failure to declare, which can trigger penalties and retroactive duties

The same product may be subject to AD or CVD orders from multiple countries, so importers should review each country of origin independently rather than assuming any single sourcing change avoids coverage.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on steel wheels from China?

There is an antidumping duty order (A-570-090) and a countervailing duty order (C-570-091) on certain steel wheels 12 to 16.5 inches in diameter from China; matching goods may be covered and should be verified against Commerce's written scope.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption—the orders still apply, entries must be declared, and rates can change through administrative review.

Are parts or unassembled steel wheels covered?

Separately imported rims, discs, or unassembled wheels may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope language; importers should verify with a licensed broker before filing.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are steel wheels 12 to 16.5 inches in diameter of Chinese origin; a separate review is needed for wheels near the size limits, non-steel wheels, complete assemblies, separately imported parts, and third-country processing. This does not state the goods are covered.

Bottom line: Certain steel wheels 12 to 16.5 inches from China may be covered by A-570-090 and C-570-091; confirm scope, origin, exporter/producer identity, and current AD and CVD 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.
