Themes

Key Themes of Injury Analysis

• The domestic industry is at f u l l capacity.

• Subject imports compete largely with each other, third country providers of lower priced tires, and retreaders.

• There is very limited substitutability between the vast majority of domestic TBT and the vast majority of subject imports.

• The domestic industry sells differentiated products and bundled services that are fundamentally different f rom the subject tires.

• The domestic industry is in a strong financial position and expanding.

• There are significant differences between the TBT market and the PVLT tire market.
