New Pneumatic Off-The-Road Tires — China — C-570-913

A measure on New Pneumatic Off-The-Road (OTR) Tires is an antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) trade remedy. AD addresses imports sold in the United States at less than fair value; CVD addresses benefits, or subsidies, provided by a foreign government. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duty and may apply in addition to it.

The measure typically affects importers of covered new, air-filled tires designed for off-road equipment, such as machinery used in construction, mining, agriculture, forestry, or other industrial work. Coverage depends on the legal product description—not simply the product name, tire size, brand, or tariff classification. An importer should review the official scope, country coverage, applicable tariff provisions, and entry requirements because responsibility can arise even when a supplier or foreign manufacturer is involved.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and compare the tire’s construction, intended use, condition, and specifications; do not rely on the commercial description alone.
• Confirm the product’s country of origin and the specific countries covered by the AD/CVD measure; shipping through another country does not necessarily change origin.
• Check the applicable HTSUS classification, while recognizing that tariff numbers are often aids to identification and do not replace the written scope.
• Ask the supplier for manufacturer, exporter, production, and subsidy-related information, and determine whether a company-specific rate or treatment applies.
• Confirm with CBP, Commerce, or a qualified customs broker how to declare the entry, provide any required cash deposit, and address possible scope or classification uncertainty.
