The Department of Commerce Issues Countervailing and Antidumping Orders on Truck and Bus Tires from China

The two orders issued by the Department of Commerce is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on February 15th 2019. On or after the date of publication in the Federal Register, the DOC will instruct CBP to require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, cash deposits for each entry of subject merchandise equal to the rates noted in each order. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice.

– The countervailing duties are set at three rates: 20.98%, 42.16%, and 63.34%, depending on the manufacturer.

– The estimated weighted average antidumping rates are set at either 9% or 22.57%, depending on the manufacturer.

*UPDATE* Vipal DV-UM3 Evaluation

In an earlier post we shared the preliminary results of a retreading evaluation for a Florida school district.

The Vipal DV-UM3 retread absolutely outperformed the competition and is projecting over 40,000 miles in a fleet of buses that never got more than 22,000 miles out of what they’ve been using for many years.

PRICE — DOES NOT EQUAL — COST!

Because we’ve identified between $6,000.00 – $10,000.00 in annual savings to the transportation budget, CasingSource.com is now the retreading provider for this school bus fleet for the 2018 – 2019 school year.

We’ll work very hard to hold this position for many years to come!

Interested in your own evaluation?

Retreading Skid Steer Tires

Vipal VZH retread on skid steer tires!

The casings are 12-16.5 PRIMEX BOSSMAN GRIPSTEEL II L-4+ and delivered over 400 hours original service.  This tread design is for use on paved and unpaved roads on vehicles that run at low speed, allows self-cleaning of the tread (mud, sand, stones), provides excellent drive power and greater protection against casing damage.

Will be put back into service for another 400+ hours and retreaded again!

Tariffs Support Retread Revival

The article below explains very clearly why LOW COST IMPORTS FROM CHINA must be controlled…if not completely stopped from disrupting world markets.

Credit: www.tyrepress.com

“The rise of low-cost Chinese truck tyre imports in Europe has been well documented in the pages of various issues of our ongoing series of Retreading Special supplements. The resultant risks affecting the industry have led to pan-European awareness-raising and lobbying efforts at a European level. This in turn resulted in a European Commission (EC) investigating and on the impact of Chinese truck tyre imports on European retread sales, which began late last year. Then product registration began in February 2018. The latest news marks something of a victory for retreaders in their bid to revive the business as now we know that tariffs of between 52.85 euros and 82.17 euros per tyre are being applied to all truck and bus radials imported into Europe from China.”

Vipal VZY2 Evaluation

In January 2018, CasingSource.com, LLC initiated a retreading evaluation for a waste management service provider in Florida.

(16) 315/80R22.5 Vipal VZY2 (23/32) retreads are being tested against (16) new Chinese imports (22/32).

 

Source: Vipal Rubber

After the seventh weekly reading, the first vehicle tracking results show the Vipal VZY2 is averaging 944 miles per 32nd versus the low-cost new import which is averaging 653 miles per 32nd.

The second vehicle tracking results show the Vipal VZY2 is averaging 1,058 miles per 32nd while the low-cost new import data is now inconclusive because of premature failure.

Other examples of the Vipal retreading success can be found here:
