Commerce Begins AD/CVD Investigations on Car and Tuck Tires From China
The Commerce Department is beginning antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China, according to a fact sheet released July 15 by the agency. The United Steelworkers trade union requested the investigations on June 3, alleging that, since safeguard duties on Chinese tires expired in 2012, dumped and subsidized Chinese tires have flooded the U.S. market and hurt U.S. workers (see 14060402). Although Commerce usually decides whether to initiate investigations within 20 days, it had delayed its decision to make sure the petition met requirements for industry support, including from non-union workers and tire company ownership (see 14062316).
