EEC extends antidumping duties on truck tires from China until Nov 13

MOSCOW. March 24 (Interfax) - The board of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) has extended the antidumping duty on truck tires originating from China until November 13, 2026, for the duration of a reinvestigation.

According to a statement from the EEC's trade division, the antidumping measure was set to expire on June 29, 2026, but a submission was received by the commission's internal market protection department, following the review of which a reinvestigation was initiated on November 14, 2025. It must be completed within one year from the date of its initiation, during which time the EEC has the right to extend the antidumping duties.

The antidumping measure on truck tires from China was introduced in 2015 and has been extended several times, most recently in 2021 until June 28, 2026. In 2023, it was also extended to assembled wheels. The amount of the antidumping duty under this measure varies from 14.79% to 35.35% of the customs value, depending on the manufacturer.

As reported, the initiators of the reinvestigation in 2025 were Belarus's OJSC Belshina, the Russian companies JSC Omskshina , JSC Cordiant and Nizhnekamsk Truck Tire Plant LLC, as well as JSC Altai Tire Plant Production Association and Kazakhstan's Tengri Tyres, which supported the application.

According to the applicants, the termination of the antidumping measure could lead to continued dumped imports amid declining demand within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) (according to the applicant companies, by 15% from April 2024 to March 2025) and capacity utilization (by 6%). At the same time, even with the application of antidumping duties, the price of imported Chinese truck tires remained below the weighted average price for similar products manufactured in the EAEU.
