Passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China may fall within the scope of the U.S. countervailing duty (CVD) order under case number C-570-017. This is a CVD order addressing alleged subsidies; importers of these tires should review whether their goods may be covered and verify current requirements before entry.

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 new pneumatic tires for passenger cars
•May include new pneumatic tires designed for light trucks
•May include SUV and crossover tires within the passenger/light-truck category
•May include all-season, summer, and winter passenger tires
•May include original-equipment and replacement-market passenger/light-truck tires
•May include tires imported mounted on wheels or unmounted, depending on scope
•May include certain light-truck load-range tires within the described size ranges

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

?Tires for heavy or commercial trucks and buses may be outside this order
?Racing or competition tires may be treated differently under the written scope
?Bicycle and motorcycle tires are typically outside this passenger/light-truck order
?Off-the-road (OTR), agricultural, or industrial tires may fall outside this order
?Used or retreaded tires may be treated separately under the scope
?Certain specialty or non-highway tires may be excluded

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

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers, distributors, and retailers bringing new passenger-car or light-truck tires of Chinese origin into the United States, including those sourcing replacement-market or OE tires.

What the duty means

A countervailing cash deposit may be required at entry; rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review and can be significant. A 0% deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and entries must be declared. Because only a CVD order (C-570-017) is listed here, confirm separately whether any antidumping requirements also apply.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the full commercial invoice description of the tires
☐Collect product photos, spec sheets, and tire sidewall markings
☐Document material composition and construction details
☐Confirm the intended use (passenger car vs. light truck vs. other categories)
☐Verify country-of-origin support and manufacturing location
☐Identify the specific manufacturer, producer, and exporter names
☐Confirm the exact producer/exporter combination used for the shipment
☐Determine the correct HTS classification for screening purposes
☐Consult a licensed customs broker to confirm scope, and verify the current cash-deposit rate against current Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing — do not rely only on supplier statements

Risks to watch

⚠Possible circumvention or transshipment findings if goods are routed through third countries
⚠Exposure to Commerce scope inquiries if product classification is uncertain
⚠Applying the wrong exporter/producer combination and an incorrect deposit rate
⚠Penalties for misdeclaration or failure to declare AD/CVD applicability

The same product may be subject to trade-remedy orders in multiple countries, so importers should independently review the applicable order for each country of origin without engaging in any evasion.

FAQ

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

The case listed here, C-570-017, is a countervailing duty (CVD) order addressing alleged subsidies, not an antidumping order. Your tires may fall within its scope; whether any separate antidumping requirements also apply should be verified independently against current Commerce and CBP records.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption. The order under C-570-017 still applies, entries must be declared, and rates can change through administrative review.

Are parts or unassembled tires covered?

Tires imported in various configurations, including mounted on wheels, may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope. Importers should verify specific configurations against the scope language and consult a licensed broker.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are new passenger-car or light-truck tires of Chinese origin; separate review is needed for specialty tires, retreads, non-highway types, mounted assemblies, and third-country processing. This does not state the goods are covered.

Bottom line: Passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China may be covered by CVD order C-570-017; 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.
