Frequently Asked Questions
What are the country-specific antidumping duties for alloy wheels from China imported into the USA?
The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) has imposed significant antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on certain aluminum road wheels from China. Importers must pay cash deposits for these duties, with AD rates ranging up to 88.82% and CVD rates up to 2.5%, which are in addition to the standard 2.5% import duty. The specific rate applied depends on the manufacturer, requiring careful supplier verification and HTSUS subheading 8708.70.45 or 8708.70.50 for proper declaration.
For HTS 870870, how does the alloy composition (e.g., aluminum vs. magnesium) affect the classification and duty rate of wheels and rims?
Under HTS 870870, all metal road wheels and rims for motor vehicles are classified together regardless of specific alloy composition (e.g., aluminum, magnesium, or steel alloys). However, the exact alloy can affect the applicability of specific anti-dumping or countervailing duty orders, such as those on certain aluminum alloy wheels from China, which carry significant additional duties.
Alternative & Confused Classifications
Alloy wheels are often confused with parts for other vehicle types. Key alternatives include HTS 8716.90.50 for bicycle wheel rims and spokes. For agricultural or industrial vehicles, check heading 8708.50 (gear boxes) or 8708.94 (other parts) as wheel classification can vary. Crucially, complete wheel assemblies (with tires) are classified under heading 87.08, but the tires themselves are separately classified in Chapter 40.
