Certain Steel Wheels 12 to 16.5 Inches in Diameter — China — C-570-091

This is an AD/CVD trade measure covering certain steel wheels within the stated diameter range. “AD” means antidumping: the government may impose additional duties when imported goods are sold in the United States at less than their normal value. “CVD” means countervailing duty: additional duties may apply when imported goods benefit from certain government subsidies. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duty.

The measure typically affects U.S. importers, foreign manufacturers or exporters, and related parties involved in importing the covered wheels. Coverage depends on the legal product scope, including the wheel’s physical features, materials, dimensions, country of origin, manufacturer or exporter, and how the goods are entered. A product’s tariff classification, or HTSUS number, helps identify an entry but does not by itself determine whether the product is within the scope. Importers may be responsible for declaring the goods correctly and paying applicable AD/CVD deposits, with final liability potentially determined later through administrative review.

What to check

• Read the official scope language, not just the product title, and compare the wheel’s construction, intended use, diameter, and other listed characteristics.
• Confirm the country of origin and identify the actual manufacturer and exporter; AD/CVD treatment can vary by these details.
• Check the applicable HTSUS classifications, while remembering that classification is an identification aid and does not replace a scope analysis.
• Ask your customs broker or trade counsel to review ambiguous products, exclusions, certifications, and entry documentation before importing.
• Keep product specifications, invoices, origin records, manufacturer information, and communications supporting your scope and duty analysis.
