USITC Makes Determination in Five-Year (Sunset) Review Concerning Truck and Bus Tires from China

The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that revoking the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on truck and bus tires from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. 

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the existing orders on imports of these products from China will remain in place. 

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners Rhonda K. Schmidtlein and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. Commissioner David S. Johanson voted in the negative.

Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on these five-year (sunset) reviews.

The Commission’s public report Truck and Bus Tires from China (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-556 and 731-TA-1311 (Expedited Review), USITC Publication 5535, August 2024) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the reviews.

The report will be available by September 20, 2024; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
