Passenger Vehicle and Light Truck Tires From South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam; Institution of Five-Year Reviews

Brief takeaway: The ITC has started five-year ("sunset") reviews to decide whether existing duty orders on passenger and light truck tires from four countries should stay in place or be revoked.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission instituted reviews under the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine whether revoking these duty orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. The notice states it is instituting reviews and requesting that interested parties respond by submitting specified information; it does not announce any change to current duty rates.

Who's affected: The notice names passenger vehicle and light truck ("PVLT") tires. It cites a countervailing duty order on PVLT tires from Vietnam and antidumping duty orders on PVLT tires from South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. Specific HTS codes are not stated in the text provided.

What to review:
- Review whether your imported tires fall within the PVLT tire product scope described in the underlying orders.
- Confirm with your customs broker which existing antidumping or countervailing duty orders and rates currently apply to your entries.
- Check whether your company is an interested party that may wish to respond to the Commission by the deadline referenced in the notice.
- Confirm the country of origin of your tires against the four origins the notice cites.
