EU to Impose No Provisional Measures on Anti-Dumping Investigation into China-Origin Tyres

The Trade Defence Directorate (Unit II. Anti-Circumvention), Directorate-General for Trade and Economic Security of the European Commission, issued a document titled "NOTE FOR THE FILE" on December 18, 2025. The document focuses on the progress of the EU’s anti-dumping investigation into specific tyre products originating from China, stating that due to the technical complexity of the case, the European Commission has decided not to impose provisional measures for the time being and will continue to advance the investigation.

New pneumatic rubber tyres originating from China, specifically those for passenger cars (including station wagons and racing cars), buses or trucks with a load index not exceeding 121.

The investigation was launched on May 21, 2025, in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 (the Basic Anti-Dumping Regulation of the EU). This regulation serves as the core legal framework for such investigations, stipulating the procedures and standards for determining dumping, assessing injury, and implementing relevant measures.

If dumping and resultant injury are ultimately confirmed, the EU may impose anti-dumping duties on the involved Chinese tyres, which would undermine the export competitiveness of these products. Enterprises are advised to monitor the investigation progress closely and protect their legitimate rights and interests by submitting comments and participating in sampling.
