Eurasian Bloc Extends Chinese Truck Tyre Duties Until February 2027

The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) has approved a temporary extension of anti-dumping duties on specified Chinese-origin truck and bus tyres until 13 February 2027, while a review of the existing trade measures continues.

The decision maintains duties ranging from 14.79% to 35.35%, depending on the manufacturer. It does not introduce new tariffs or change the existing rates.

The Eurasian Economic Commission adopted Decision No. 137 on 27 October 2026, with the measure published on 30 October. The decision replaces the previous expiry date of 13 November 2026 with 13 February 2027.

Which Tyres and Markets Are Affected?

The measures apply to specified new pneumatic tyres manufactured in China for commercial vehicles, including trucks, buses and semi-trailers.

The product scope includes tyres with rim diameters between 17.5 and 24.5 inches, subject to the classifications and exclusions set out in the original trade measures.

The duties cover imports entering the EAEU's five member countries: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan.

The restrictions are separate from anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures applied by the European Union and do not directly affect imports into the UK.

Review Could Lead to Five-Year Renewal

The existing anti-dumping duties were introduced in December 2015 following an investigation into Chinese commercial vehicle tyre imports.

They were subsequently renewed, with a second expiry review launched in November 2025 to assess whether removing the duties could lead to renewed dumping and injury to manufacturers within the Eurasian bloc.

In findings disclosed on 19 August 2026, the Commission's investigating department concluded that removing the measures could allow dumping and associated injury to continue or recur.

The findings recommended maintaining the duties for a further five years at their existing rates. However, the October decision is a temporary extension rather than formal adoption of that longer renewal.

Implementation Date Requires Clarification

One aspect of the extension remains unclear.

Although Decision No. 137 changes the expiry date to 13 February 2027, the Commission's official legal portal lists 29 November 2026 as the date on which the decision enters into force.

The previous extension expires on 13 November, creating an apparent gap between 14 and 28 November.

The published documentation reviewed does not establish how imports during that period will be treated. Importers should seek confirmation from the relevant customs authorities rather than assume uninterrupted application of the duties.
