ITC Schedules Expedited Review, Tires China, Apr 7
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission has scheduled expedited five-year (sunset) reviews of antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders on passenger vehicle and light truck (PVLT) tires from China. The Commission determined to conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 1930, having found the domestic interested party group response adequate but overall participation insufficient for a full review. Written comments on the Commission's determination are due June 9, 2026.
PVLT tire manufacturers and importers with supply chain exposure to Chinese-origin tires should review their interest in the continuation of antidumping and countervailing duty coverage before the June 9, 2026 comment deadline. The expedited review format limits the introduction of new factual information, making pre-existing injury data and market analysis critical to the ITC's determination.
What changed
The ITC scheduled expedited reviews under section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine whether to revoke antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders on PVLT tires from China. The Commission found the domestic interested party group response adequate but determined the overall response insufficient to warrant full reviews, triggering expedited procedures. The review period was extended up to 90 days because the Commission found the reviews "extraordinarily complicated" under 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).
PVLT tire manufacturers, importers, and the domestic industry should note the June 9, 2026 comment deadline — expedited reviews restrict new factual information, placing a premium on existing data and prior submissions. Parties that have not yet submitted individually adequate responses to the notice of institution may not have their comments accepted. The outcome will determine whether current trade remedies on Chinese tire imports remain in place for another five years.
What to do next
- File written comments with the Secretary on what determination the Commission should reach in the reviews by June 9, 2026
- Submit brief written statements pertinent to the reviews by June 9, 2026 if neither a party to the reviews nor an interested party

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background. —On April 7, 2026, the Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution
(91 FR 159, January 2, 2026) of the subject five-year reviews was adequate and that the domestic interested party group response
was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other circumstances that would warrant conducting full reviews. (1) Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act (19
U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)). (2)
For further information concerning the conduct of these reviews and rules of general application, consult the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR
part 207).
Staff report. —A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter of the reviews has been placed in the nonpublic record,
and will be made available to persons on the Administrative Protective Order service list for these reviews on June 2, 2026.
A public version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to § 207.62(d)(4) of the Commission's rules.
Written submissions. —As provided in § 207.62(d) of the Commission's rules, interested parties that are parties to the reviews and that have provided
individually adequate responses to the notice of institution, (3) and any party other than an interested party to the reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what determination
the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are due on or before June 9, 2026 and may not contain new factual information.
Any person that is neither a party to the five-year reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement (which
shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the reviews by June 9, 2026. However, should the Department of
Commerce (“Commerce”) extend the time limit for its completion of the final results of its reviews, the deadline for comments
(which may not contain new factual information) on Commerce's final results is three business days after the issuance of Commerce's
results. If comments contain business proprietary information (BPI), they must conform with the requirements of §§ 201.6,
207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The Commission's Handbook on Filing Procedures, available on the Commission's website at https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf, elaborates upon the Commission's procedures with respect to filings.
In accordance with §§ 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on all
other parties to the reviews (as identified by either the public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be
timely filed. The Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate of service.
Determination. —The Commission has determined these reviews are extraordinarily complicated and therefore has determined to exercise its
authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).
Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant
to § 207.62 of the Commission's rules.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: April 16, 2026. Lisa Barton, Secretary to the Commission. [FR Doc. 2026-07693 Filed 4-20-26; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7020-02-P
