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.
