The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of certain steel wheels from China that are allegedly subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value.

Vice Chairman Irving A. Williamson, and Commissioners Charlotte R. Lane, Shara L. Aranoff, and Dean A. Pinkert voted in the affirmative. Chairman Deanna Tanner Okun and Commissioner Daniel R. Pearson voted in the negative.

As a result of the Commission's affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue to conduct its countervailing and antidumping duty investigations on imports of these products from China, with its preliminary countervailing duty determination due on or about June 23, 2011, and its preliminary antidumping duty determination due on or about September 6, 2011.

The Commission's public report Certain Steel Wheels from China (Investigation Nos. 701-TA-478 and 731-TA-1182 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 4233, May 2011) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

Copies of the report are expected to be available after June 13, 2011, by emailing pubrequest@usitc.gov, calling 202- 205-2000, or writing to the Office of the Secretary, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436. Requests may also be faxed to 202-205-2104.
