Akron/Tire Review(Akron/Tire Review) The International Trade Commission has sided with three U.S. tiremakers and the USW in their complaints that Chinese are dumping their tires at low prices thanks to government subsidies.
The Commission voted 6-0 to move the complaint – filed by Titan International, Bridgestone/Firestone, Denman Tire and the Steelworkers – forward.
Titan and the USW filed the original complaint in June, and were later joined by Bridgestone/Firestone and Denman, both of which also produce small agricultural and OTR tires in question.
Despite the ruling, the ITC will revisit the case next year. The U.S. Commerce Department, meanwhile, will also render its decision on the dumping claims. That ruling is not expected until October.
