U.S. Department of Commerce Issues Final Results in PVLT Tires Countervailing Duty Review

Estimated reading time: 1–7 minutes

The U.S. Department of Commerce has released the final results of the administrative review for countervailing duties on certain passenger vehicle and light truck (PVLT) tires from China. This review covers the period from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023.

The review was conducted by the International Trade Administration, part of the Department of Commerce. The Department found that countervailable subsidies were provided to producers and exporters of PVLT tires from China during the review period.

No comments were received from interested parties on the preliminary results, so the Department adopted the preliminary results as final. No changes have been made, and therefore, no decision memorandum was issued with this final notice.

Scope of the Order

The order covers passenger vehicle and light truck tires imported from China. For a full description of the products involved, reference is made to the Preliminary Decision Memorandum associated with this review.

Final Subsidy Rates

The Department determined the following net countervailable subsidy rate for the period under review:

Disclosure

Normally, Commerce releases its calculation methods to interested parties. In this case, because there were no changes from the preliminary results, there are no new calculations to disclose.

Assessment Rates

According to U.S. law, Commerce will have Customs and Border Protection (CBP) assess countervailing duties at the rates listed above. This will apply to all proper entries of the subject merchandise. Assessment instructions will be issued to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of these final results. If a summons is filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade, CBP will not liquidate the relevant entries until the period to file for a statutory injunction expires, which is within 90 days of publication.

Cash Deposit Requirements

Commerce will instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the rates shown above for shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of these final results. The cash deposit instructions will remain in effect until further notice.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

The notice reminds parties subject to an Administrative Protective Order (APO) to follow procedures for the return or destruction of proprietary information. Failure to comply with APO rules can result in sanctions.

The Commerce Department published these results in accordance with applicable sections of U.S. trade law.

The notice was dated July 7, 2025, and signed by Christopher Abbott, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
