(118) Prices per piece has been overall stable during the period considered, starting with an increase by +37 % in 2022 (due to the overall increase in cost of steel during that year), but with the price thereafter strongly reducing during 2023, ending with a price during the review investigation period 7 % below the price in 2021.
5.4.3.
Price undercutting
(119) It is recalled that under the description of the product under review (recitals (23) and (24), there are many different sizes of steel road wheels that fall under the scope of this review, and hence, the average price per piece may differ significantly depending on the diameter, width and design of the particular wheel.
(120) More than 97 % by volume (90,5 % by pieces) of imports from China are declared under three CN Codes used for imports of SRW to be used in buses, tractors, trucks and trailers
8708709980 (SRW used for trucks, tractors, buses), 8716909095 (SRW used for trailers and semi-trailers) and 8716909097 (SRW used for trailers and semi-trailers).
.
(121) As there was no cooperation from the Chinese exporting producers, the Commission compared the import data under the three declared CN Codes with the Union industry’s average sales price of those SRW with the largest diameters (19-20 inches), which are predominantly manufactured for larger vehicles such as the types mentioned in the previous recital.
(122) On that basis, Chinese import undercut the Union industry’s prices by 11 %.
5.4.4.
Imports from third countries other than the People’s Republic of China
(123) The imports of steel road wheels from third countries other than the PRC were mainly from India, Switzerland, Türkiye and Vietnam.
(124) The (aggregated) volume of imports into the Union as well as the market share and price trends for imports of steel road wheels from these countries developed as follows:

(125) Imports from other third countries have been stable during the period considered, with a market share floating around 10 %.
(126) By far the biggest source of imports is Türkiye. The market share held by Turkish imports was relatively stable during the period considered as import volumes decreased only slightly less than the drop in consumption.
(127) For all above origins, the average wheel price exceeds the average price per wheel manufactured in the Union. As mentioned before in recital (119), there are many different sizes of the steel road wheels that fall under the scope of this review, and hence, the average price per piece may differ significantly between the different sources of supply, in particular depending on the diameter, width and design of the particular wheel.
5.5.
Economic situation of the Union industry
5.5.1.
General remarks
(128) The assessment of the economic situation of the Union industry included an evaluation of all economic indicators having a bearing on the state of the Union industry during the period under review.
(129) As mentioned in recital (10), sampling was used for the assessment of the economic situation of the Union industry.
(130) For the injury determination, the Commission distinguished between macroeconomic and microeconomic injury indicators. The Commission evaluated the macroeconomic indicators on the basis of data contained in the macro-questionnaire submitted by the applicant. The Commission evaluated the microeconomic indicators on the basis of data contained in the questionnaire replies from the sampled Union producers. Both sets of data were found to be representative of the economic situation of the Union industry.
(131) The macroeconomic indicators are: production, production capacity, capacity utilisation, sales volume, market share, growth, employment, productivity, magnitude of the dumping margin, and recovery from past dumping.
(132) The microeconomic indicators are: average unit prices, unit cost, labour costs, inventories, profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investments, and ability to raise capital.
5.5.2.
Macroeconomic indicators
5.5.2.1.
Production, production capacity and capacity utilisation
(133) The total Union production, production capacity and capacity utilisation developed over the period considered as follows:
Table 6
Production, production capacity and capacity utilisation
Source:
Union industry
202120222023RIPProduction volume (thousand pieces)25323245902548222619Index1009710189Production capacity (thousand pieces)40898409873944538331Index1001009694Capacity utilisation (%)61,960,064,659,0Index1009710495
(134) During the period considered, production volumes in pieces were relatively stable during the first three years. However, during the review investigation period, the production volume decreased strongly, by 11 %. That decrease corresponds to an equal downward trend of sales volumes (see Table 7 below) and is in line with the 13 % fall in Union consumption in the review investigation period as compared to 2023 (Table 2 above).
(135) The production capacity, that stood at 52289000 pieces in the investigation period of the original investigation, had been reduced to 40898000 pieces in 2021. It remained stable in 2022 but further decreased significantly in 2023 and the review investigation period.
(136) The sampled Union producers all manufacture against orders. Despite the significant reduction of production capacity, the capacity utilisation rate, decreased by 5 % over the period considered and stood at only 59 % in the review investigation period, lower than ever observed by the Commission since SRW were first investigated in 2019/2020.
5.5.2.2.
Sales volume and market share
(137) The Union industry’s sales volume and market share developed over the period considered as follows:
Table 7
Sales volume and market share
Source:
Union industry.
202120222023RIPSales volume on the Union market (thousand pieces)24963237122440921226Index100959885Market share (%)88,287,289,489,6Index10099101102
(138) Sales volumes have decreased by 15 % during the period considered, with a dramatic decrease during the review investigation period, in line with the decrease in Union consumption (see Table 2).
(139) Consequently, the Union industry’s market share was relatively stable during the period considered and stood at 89,6 % in the review investigation period.
5.5.2.3.
Growth
(140) In a context of a significant fall in consumption, the Union industry lost important sales volumes.
(141) Sales turnover showed growth during the first two years of the period considered, which could be attributed to higher sales prices per piece. However, during the review investigation period sales turnover receded back to the 2021 level as sales volumes decreased far below 2021 levels (see Table 7 above) whereas average sales prices went below cost of production (see Table 9 below). Over the whole period considered, the Union industry was not able to grow.
5.5.2.4.
Employment and productivity
(142) Employment and productivity developed over the period considered as follows:
Table 8
Employment and productivity

202120222023RIPNumber of employees2628255525562412Index100979792Productivity (thousand pieces / employee)9,69,6109,4Index10010010397
(143) The number of employees has decreased during the period considered, in line with the decrease of production. Overall, the number of employees decreased by 8 % during the period considered.
(144) In terms of productivity, the Union producers’ productivity was stable during the period considered, as they adapted the size of the workforce to the production volumes.
5.5.2.5.
Magnitude of the dumping margin and recovery from past dumping
(145) The dumping margin established during the review investigation period were significantly above the de minimis level. At the same time, the level of imports during the review investigation period was very limited, representing less than 1 % of Union consumption. Therefore, the impact of the magnitude of the actual margins of dumping on the Union industry was limited.
5.5.3.
Microeconomic indicators
5.5.3.1.
Prices and factors affecting prices
(146) The average unit sales prices of the sampled Union producers to unrelated customers in the Union developed over the period considered as follows:
Table 9
Sales prices and cost of production in the Union (EUR/piece)
Source:
Sampled Union producers.
202120222023RIPAverage unit sales price in the Union to unrelated customers15,921,220,719,3Index100133130121Unit cost of production17,221,520,319,8Index100125118115
(147) The average sales price increased by 33 % and more than cost between 2021 and 2022. The significant cost increase reflected an increase in the cost of the main raw material used (hot rolled coils) and energy. The sales price has thereafter decreased more than cost. The Commission found that the Union industry’s sales contracts often contain a clause on price adjustments when prices of raw materials fluctuate.
5.5.3.2.
Labour costs
(148) The average labour costs of the Union industry developed over the period considered as follows:
Table 10

Sampled Union producers.
202120222023RIPAverage labour costs per employee (EUR)40185397854580447730Index10099114119
(149) The average cost of labour – which includes all social charges – increased by 19 % during the period considered. A particular increase was observed in 2023, as employees were in that year compensated for the high inflation rate in 2022
Annual inflation more than tripled in the EU in 2022 – Eurostat news article: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/ddn-20230309-2.
. The labour cost increase thus reflects the overall trend in the EU with nominal wages rising in order to respond to rising costs of living including of energy costs, especially following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine

Inventories
(150) Stock levels of the Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:

(151) The closing stock in pieces has been rather stable during the period considered, with a decrease in 2023 followed by a resumption of the stock level during the review investigation period. Overall, in percentage of production, the level of closing stock has been stable during the whole period considered and the relatively low level as percentage of production mirrors the fact that the product under review is manufactured against orders.
5.5.3.4.
Profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investments and ability to raise capital
(152) Profitability, cash flow, investments and return on investments of the Union industry developed over the period considered as follows:
Table 12
Profitability, cash flow, investments and return on investments

(153) The Commission established the profitability of the sampled Union producers by expressing the pre-tax net profit of the sales of the like product to unrelated customers in the Union as a percentage of the turnover of those sales.
(154) Following a year with a loss (2021), the Union industry returned to low profits from 2022 onwards. The reduction of profit to only 0,1 % during the review investigation period should be seen in light of the loss of sales volumes. The overall positive profit trend during the whole period considered is also reflected in Table 9 above, which showed that the average sales price had increased by 21 % while the average cost of production increased by 15 %.
(155) The net cash flow is the ability of the Union producers to self-finance their activities and is measured at the level of all sales destination (i.e. including export sales). The trend in net cash flow followed the overall slightly positive development of the profit margin, starting with a negative cash flow in 2021 but with positive cash flows from 2022 onwards.
(156) Investments have been stable during the period considered, at between EUR 5 to 10 million annually, which also is within the same range (EUR 7 to 13 million) as in the original investigation.
(157) The return on investments is the profit from all sales – including export sales - in percentage of the net book value of investments. Overall, it followed the same development as the profit margin on EU sales, but with slightly more negative figures. This should be seen in light of the fact that sales outside the Union are facing competition in markets not protected from dumped imports from the PRC, leading to lower average sales prices on the export marked compared to the Union market
(158) Neither of the Union producers reported any specific issued related to the ability to raise capital on the market.
5.5.4.
Conclusion on injury
(159) Despite the anti-dumping measures in place and while having a market share of Union consumption of between 85 % and 90 % during the period considered, the Union industry is not in a healthy situation.
(160) This is best illustrated by the Union industry’s profitability: the Union industry was loss-making in 2021, reported small profits only in 2022 and 2023 and operated virtually at break-even in the review investigation period. The other financial indicators show a similar unsatisfactory picture. Also, other key indicators are negative: sales volumes went down by 15 % since 2021, and the industry’s capacity utilisation rate went down by 5 %, in spite of significant production capacity reductions in the same period.
(161) On the basis of the above, the Commission could conclude that the Union industry did suffer material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation during the review investigation period.
- CAUSATION
(162) During the period considered, the Union industry suffered material injury. Chinese imports did not play a significant role in the Union industry’s injury. As indicated in recital (116), the level of imports from China was representing less than a 1 % market share throughout the period co nsidered.
(163) The fall in consumption, by 16 % from 2021 to 2024 and by 40 % as compared to 2018, the investigation period of the original investigation, is the single most important factor not allowing the Union industry to achieve healthy profits. Indeed, the strong drop in demand for SRW has a direct impact on the Union industry’s production volumes and the usage of its machinery, resulting in a capacity utilisation ratio below that observed in the original investigation. The fall in demand and consequently EU industry sales volumes is – in its turn – linked to lower sales of SRW requiring vehicles manufactured in the Union over the last 4–5 years. In such situation, the Union industry is only able to achieve tiny margins at most.
(164) Imports from other countries also played a role. They held a market share that fluctuated between 10 % and 12 %, which is significant and has certainly contributed to the volume injury, even if imports from countries other than China have overall decreased over the period considered both in terms of volumes and market share. In the context of, primarily, a strong drop in consumption and, to a lesser extent, a strong presence of imports from countries other than China, the role that can be attributed to the imports from China in the injury of the Union industry is rather limited, in view of the small market share such imports held in the period considered.
(165) The Commission therefore concluded that Chinese imports are not responsible for the material injury to the Union industry, but that other factors, in particular the drop in consumption and the strong level of imports from other countries, caused that injury.
(166) Therefore, the Commission decided to further assess, in accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, whether there would be a likelihood of recurrence of injury originally caused by the dumped imports from the PRC if the measures against such imports were allowed to lapse.
- LIKELIHOOD OF RECURRENCE OF INJURY
(167) In the absence of cooperation from any party in the PRC, the Commission relied on the information available on file. It examined the production capacity and spare capacity in the PRC; the relationship between prices in the Union and export prices to third countries from China; the attractiveness of the EU market and the impact that increased volumes of Chinese imports would have on the Union industry.
7.1.
Production capacity and spare capacity in the PRC
(168) As concluded in recitals (99) to (101), the spare capacity of Chinese producers of SRW is estimated to represent over 250 % of the free consumption of steel road wheels in the Union. That spare capacity could be used for export to the Union if measures were allowed to lapse.
7.2.
Attractiveness of the Union market
(169) As explained in recitals (102)-(103), the Union market remains, in spite of the measures, one of China’s most important export markets and the average prices it can obtain on that market, even with the measures in force, are significantly higher than prices on most of China’s other important export markets. Moreover, since 2019, the traditionally important US market has prohibitive trade measures with regard to Chinese imports in place. Similarly, also in India, which used to be one of China’s main export markets, there are anti-dumping measures in place. As a result of these measures, exporting producers that used to supply those markets are likely to explore alternative export markets and, in view of its size and prices, and the historical Chinese interest, the Union is then likely to be targeted by those parties.
7.3.
Impact of increased volumes of Chinese imports on the Union industry
(170) Given the above considerations, should measures be allowed to lapse, the Union industry will be confronted with an important increase of Chinese imports for any type of steel road wheel. Therefore, the likely arrival into the Union of high volumes of imports from the PRC at much lower prices if measures are allowed to lapse would force the Union industry to reduce its production volumes and lower its prices.
(171) During the review investigation period, based on the customs codes under which most Chinese imports were reported, Chinese imports focused their sales on the niche markets of special sized wheels and hardly sold wheels in the passenger cars segment. These sales undercut the Union industry prices by 11 %.
(172) With sales volumes further shrinking and reinforced price pressure, Union producers would be reluctant to further invest and increasingly encounter difficulties to fulfil their commitments, including social and environmental ones. Profit levels would likely quickly go negative for such a capital-intensive industry. This would undermine the Union industry’s ability to raise capital and, in the longer term, endanger its viability, possibly triggering the closure of production facilities, thereby also causing disruptions in supply chains.
7.4.
Conclusion
(173) On this basis, it is concluded that the absence of measures would in all likelihood result in a significant increase of dumped imports from the PRC at injurious prices, with the consequence that the injurious situation of the Union industry will therefore further aggravate.
- UNION INTEREST
(174) In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether maintaining the existing anti-dumping measures would be against the interest of the Union as whole. The determination of the Union interest was based on the appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, importers and users.
8.1.
Interest of the Union industry
(175) Recital (110) mentions the total number of EU manufacturers of the product under review. The request was submitted by nine Union producers, while none of the other two known producers expressed opposition against the initiation of the investigation. As concluded in recital (161) above, the Union industry is suffering from material injury. Despite, as explained in recital (165), the material injury is not attributable to the Chinese imports, a repeal of the measures would likely result of a renewed influx of dumped imports from the PRC at injurious prices, as concluded in recital (173). The continuation of the measures, therefore, is in the interest of the Union industry.
8.2.
Interest of unrelated importers
(176) No importers cooperated with the investigation.
(177) The lack of cooperation of importers did not allow the Commission to analyse whether importers were performing badly or unable to pass on price increases, if any.
(178) The Commission noted that, apart from the abundant Union production, importers and supply chains can avail themselves from imports from several alternative origins.
(179) Therefore, it is concluded that there is no evidence suggesting that the measures in force considerably affected the importers of the product under review.
8.3.
Interest of users
(180) No users cooperated in the investigation. Therefore, the Commission was not in a position to analyse the impact of existing measures on the situation of users.
(181) According to the findings in the original investigation, the impact of measures on steel road wheels is limited for car producers. This conclusion stemmed from the estimation made by a sampled Union producer according to which a full set of steel road wheels represents about 0,6 % of the cost of producing a small passenger car or 0,7 % of the cost of producing a truck.
(182) There is no other information on file showing that measures would have a significant negative impact on the users outweighing the positive impact of the continuation of measures on the Union industry.
(183) On that basis it is confirmed that the measures currently in force had no substantial negative effect on the financial situation of users and that the continuation of the measures would not unduly affect them.
8.4.
Conclusion on Union interest
(184) On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that there was no compelling reason of the Union interest against the maintenance of the existing measures on imports of steel road wheels originating in the PRC.
- ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES
(185) On the basis of the conclusions reached by the Commission on the likelihood of continuation of dumping and of recurrence of injury and Union interest, the anti-dumping measures on imports of steel road wheels originating in the PRC should be maintained.
(186) To minimise the risks of circumvention due to the difference in duty rates, special measures are needed to ensure the application of the individual anti-dumping duties. The companies with individual anti-dumping duties must present a valid commercial invoice to the customs authorities of the Member States. The invoice must conform to the requirements set out in Article 1(3) of this regulation. Imports not accompanied by that invoice should be subject to the anti-dumping duty applicable to all other imports originating in the PRC.
(187) While presentation of this invoice is necessary for the customs authorities of the Member States to apply the individual rates of anti-dumping duty to imports, it is not the only element to be taken into account by the customs authorities. Indeed, even if presented with an invoice meeting all the requirements set out in Article 1(3) of this regulation, the customs authorities of Member States must carry out their usual checks and may, like in all other cases, require additional documents (shipping documents etc.) for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the particulars contained in the declaration and ensure that the subsequent application of the lower rate of duty is justified, in compliance with customs law.
(188) The individual company anti-dumping duty rates specified in this Regulation are exclusively applicable to imports of the product under review originating in the PRC and produced by the named legal entities. Imports of the product under review produced by any other company not specifically mentioned in the operative part of this Regulation, including entities related to those specifically mentioned, should be subject to the duty rate applicable to all other imports originating in the PRC. They should not be subject to any of the individual anti-dumping duty rates.
(189) A company may request the application of these individual anti-dumping duty rates if it changes subsequently the name of its entity. The request must be addressed to the Commission
European Commission, Directorate-General for Trade, Directorate G, Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 170, Bruxelles/Brussel, BELGIQUE/BELGIË.
. The request must contain all the relevant information enabling to demonstrate that the change does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the duty rate which applies to it. If the change of name of the company does not affect its right to benefit from the duty rate which applies to it, a regulation about the change of name will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(190) In view of Article 109 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 of the European Parliament and of the Council
Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 September 2024 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union (OJ L, 2024/2509, 26.9.2024, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2509/oj).
when an amount is to be reimbursed following a judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the interest to be paid should be the rate applied by the European Central Bank to its principal refinancing operations, as published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union on the first calendar day of each month.
(191) All interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend that the existing measures be maintained. They were also granted a period to make representations subsequent to this disclosure. The comments thereto have been detailed in recitals above.
(192) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) Regulation (EU) 2016/1036. The Committee established by Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 delivered a positive opinion,
