  • Notice of Lifting of Suspension Date: Feb 17, 2026
1. Notice of lifting of suspension of entries covered by paragraph 5 below occurred with this message and on the message date of these instructions. Unless instructed otherwise, for shipments of merchandise covered by the scope of the order you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties for the merchandise at the current rates. 2. On 12/29/2025, Commerce issued a final scope ruling that certain models of aftermarket light and medium truck wheels produced in the People's Republic of China (China) and imported by Vision Wheel Inc. (Vision Wheel) are not covered by the scope of the countervailing duty order on certain steel wheels 12 to 16.5 inches in diameter from China (C-570-091). 3a. Specifically, Commerce determined that certain models of aftermarket light and medium truck wheels imported by Vision Wheel are outside the scope of the order because the requested products are distinguishable from in-scope trailer wheels on the basis of hub bore size, offset, load rating, and/or bolt pattern that make them unsuitable for use on trailer or towable equipment. Commerce thus determined that the product part numbers identified in Vision Wheel's request are aftermarket light and medium truck wheels, not steel trailer wheels subject to the order. Specifically, the following product part numbers identified by Vision Wheel in its scope request are not within the scope of the order: 55-5404 55-5461 55-5504 55-5604 55-5661 55-5704 55-5761 55-5773 55-5804 55-5861 55-5873 55-5883 55-5885 55-5104 55-5173 55-5183 84H5761NS 84H5765NS 84H5773NS 84H5783NS 84H5785NS 84H5861NS 84H5865NS 84H5865NS6 84H5873NS 84H5883NS 84H5885NS 84H5865NS-29 84H5161NS 84H5165NS 84H5173NS 84H5183NS 84H5185NS 84H6765NS 84H6773NS 84H6783NS 84H6785NS 84H6781NS 84H6865NS 84H6873NS 84H6883NS 84H6885NS 84H6881NS 84H6870NS 85H5761NS 85H5765NS 85H5773NS 85H5783NS 85H5785NS 85H5861NS 85H5865NS 85H5873NS 85H5883NS 85H5885NS 85H5865NS-29 85H5161NS 85H5165NS 85H5173NS 85H5183NS 85H5185NS 85H6765NS 85H6773NS 85H6783NS 85H6785NS 85H6781NS 85H6865NS0 85H6873NS 85H6883NS 85H6885NS 85H6881NS 85H6870NS SW60-4549B38 SW60-4548B45 SW60-4565B45 SW60-5644B38 SW60-5631B38 SW60-6644B40 SW60-6692B39 SW60-6665B39 SW60-6631B42 SW60-6645B42 SW60-6673B39 3b. Additionally, we find that one model is outside the scope of the order based on an application of the factors enumerated under 19 CFR 351.225(k)(2), because 1) the expectations of the ultimate purchasers; 2) the ultimate use of the product; and 3) the manner in which the product is advertised and displayed are distinct from subject merchandise. Commerce thus determined that the product part number identified in Vision Wheel's request is an aftermarket light and medium truck wheel, not a steel trailer wheel subject to the order. Specifically, the following product part number identified by Vision Wheel in its scope request is not within the scope of the order: 55-5783 4. This final scope ruling is applicable only to entries of the product models listed above imported by Vision Wheel Inc. 5. For all unliquidated entries of the above-listed models of aftermarket light and medium truck wheels produced in China and imported by Vision Wheel that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after 02/25/2019 (the first date of suspension of liquidation in this proceeding), CBP should terminate suspension of liquidation and liquidate such entries without regard to countervailing duties (i.e., refund all cash deposits). 6. The assessment of countervailing duties by CBP on shipments or entries of this merchandise is subject to the provisions of section 778 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Section 778 requires that CBP pay interest on overpayments or assess interest on underpayments of the required amounts deposited as estimated countervailing duties. The interest provisions are not applicable to cash posted as estimated countervailing duties before the date of publication of the countervailing duty order. Interest shall be calculated from the date payment of estimated countervailing duties is required through the date of liquidation. The rate at which such interest is payable is the rate in effect under section 6621 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 for such period. 7. This instruction to liquidate entries of subject merchandise covered by this message does not limit CBP's independent authority, including its authority to suspend, continue to suspend, or extend liquidation of entries addressed by this message. Accordingly, CBP should examine all entries for which this message directs liquidation to determine whether any such entries are subject to suspension, continued suspension, or extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's independent authority (e.g., Enforce and Protect Act proceeding under section 517 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended). If entries of subject merchandise covered by this message are subject to suspension, continued suspension, or extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's own authority, CBP port officials should follow CBP's internal procedures with respect to continuing any suspension, the lifting of suspension, and/or continuing any extension of liquidation for such entries. 8. If there are any questions by the public regarding this message, please contact the Call Center for the Office of AD/CVD Operations, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce at (202) 482-0984. CBP ports should submit their inquiries through authorized CBP channels only. (This message was generated by OIII:AP.) 9. There are no restrictions on the release of this information. Alexander Amdur
