The European Commission’s Trade Defence Directorate issued a note on Dec 18, 2025, stating it will not impose provisional measures for now on the anti-dumping investigation into China-origin new pneumatic rubber tyres (for passenger cars, buses/trucks with load index ≤121) due to technical complexity, and will continue the probe.

Launched on May 21, 2025, under EU Regulation (EU) 2016/1036, the investigation may lead to anti-dumping duties if dumping and injury are confirmed, hurting export competitiveness. Chinese enterprises should monitor progress and safeguard rights via comments and sampling.
