The Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission have determined that revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China would likely result in resumed dumping and subsidies, harming the U.S. tire industry. Therefore, these orders will continue, requiring U.S. Customs to collect deposits to counteract unfair practices at the time of tire importation. Tires affected include those for cars and light trucks, excluding certain specialty and off-road types, and these regulations will remain effective as announced in the Federal Register.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government decided to keep extra fees on certain car and truck tires from China because taking them away could hurt tire makers in the U.S. They want to make sure everyone plays fair when selling tires here.
