On March 25, 2026, the Department for Internal Market Protection of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) issued Notice No. 2026/476/AD18R4. Pursuant to Commission Resolution No. 37 dated March 24, 2026, the validity period of anti-dumping duties on heavy-duty truck tires originating from China has been extended until November 13, 2026 (inclusive). This regulatory update is a pivotal development that reshapes trade dynamics in the global truck tire industry, requiring close attention from all stakeholders—manufacturers, distributors, and end-users alike.
A Decade of Trade Dynamics in the Truck Tire Industry
September 1, 2014: The EEC launched an anti-dumping investigation into heavy-duty truck tires imported from China, a move that sent ripples through the global truck tire industry.
December 18, 2015: Based on EEC Resolution No. 154 (November 17, 2015), definitive anti-dumping duties—ranging from 14.79% to 35.35%—were imposed on the involved products for a five-year term, impacting the competitiveness of Chinese manufacturers in the truck tire industry.
July 2, 2021: A first sunset review resulted in an affirmative final ruling, extending the anti-dumping measures to June 28, 2026, and maintaining stability in the EAEU’s domestic market.
November 14, 2025: The EEC initiated a second sunset review investigation to evaluate whether the anti-dumping duties remain necessary for protecting the EAEU’s domestic truck tire industry.
The involved products covered by these measures are new pneumatic rubber tires with rim diameters between 17.5 and 24.5 inches (inclusive), specifically designed for trucks, buses, and semi-trailers. These tires fall under the EAEU tariff codes: 4011 20 100 0, 4011 20 900 0, and 8708 70 990 9—critical classifications for businesses in the sector.
How the Extension Impacts the Global Truck Tire Industry
Within the EAEU, the extended duties aim to protect domestic truck tire industry producers. However, this protection may also lead to tighter supply, potential price increases for end-users (such as fleet operators and logistics companies), and a reevaluation of procurement strategies in the EAEU’s truck tire industry. Non-Chinese manufacturers not subject to the duties may also benefit, gaining improved market positioning and capturing a larger share of demand in the EAEU’s truck tire industry.
