The China Rubber Industry Association will appeal the U.S.’s decision to set anti-dumping duties for certain passenger and light truck tires imported from China.
“To issue such high duty rates would impair China’s tire manufacturing sector as well as harm the interests of American consumers,” stated the association. “Over the past three years U.S. tire manufacturers registered over $3.8 billion of profit, and no damage was caused to the industry by China’s tire export,” added the China trade group.
On Jan. 23, Beijing’s Ministry of Commerce responded to the Department of Commerce’s decision to enact preliminary anti-dumping duties for certain passenger and light truck tires imported from China, stating that the case has “many flaws.”
