The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed an expedited review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on steel wheels from China, which are 12 to 16.5 inches in diameter. They found that removing this order would likely result in the continuation or recurrence of subsidies that are unfair to U.S. producers. This decision is part of the sunset review process, which revisits such orders to decide if they should be continued. The Commerce Department did not receive any significant responses from Chinese manufacturers, leading to this expedited review and conclusion.

The U.S. Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission have decided that ending the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on steel wheels from China could cause economic harm due to unfair pricing and subsidies. As a result, they have chosen to continue these orders to protect the U.S. industry. These orders apply to certain steel wheels used on road and highway trailers, encompassing a wide range of specifications except those specifically excluded. They will continue to be enforced as of March 13, 2025, to maintain fair competition.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has published a list of decisions made between July 1, 2024, and September 30, 2024, regarding whether certain products fall under existing trade rulings. For example, they determined that some steel rail couplers from Mexico aren't subject to antidumping duties, a specific off-grid solar module from China is covered under existing orders, some steel wheels from China are not included due to differences that make them unsuitable for certain uses, and certain tires from Taiwan are currently excluded from duties as per current designations. They invite interested parties to comment on the list's completeness.

The Department of Commerce received a referral from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) under the Enforce and Protect Act of 2015 to determine if certain steel wheels from China are subject to existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders. The steel wheels, with diameters between 12 and 16.5 inches, are used for trailers and other vehicles. Commerce will decide if these wheels are covered by current trade rules and will inform CBP of their decision, while inviting other interested parties to participate in the decision-making process. The decision is part of ongoing investigations concerning trade regulations and duties on these products.

The U.S. Department of Commerce conducted a review and decided not to lift the antidumping duty on certain steel wheels from China because it would likely lead to the continuation of unfair pricing, known as dumping. The review found that without the duty, the dumping margins could reach as high as 44.35%. This decision follows a lack of response from other interested parties and the participation of the Dexstar Wheel Division of Americana Development, a U.S. producer. The final results of this expedited review have been documented and published accordingly.
