Indiana wheel manufacturer seeks duties on Chinese steel wheel imports

Law360.com reported that an Indiana based wheel manufacturer urged the government to impose duties on imports of steel trailer wheels from China, alleging in a petition filed that certain Chinese exporters are receiving unfair government subsidies and dumping the products on the US market at less than fair value.

Dexstar Wheel, a subsidiary of American Kenda Rubber Industrial Co. Ltd, petitioned the US Department of Commerce to launch anti-dumping and countervailing duty probes into the imports, pointing to a list of 35 Chinese wheel producers.
