U.S. tires hit double high taxes hit China’s tire companies

The United States made a final decision on my tire "double reverse" case. The reporter learned from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce that the US International Trade Commission issued a final report on the anti-dumping countervailing investigation of passenger and light truck tires originating in China on the 27th local time. Earlier in the 14th US International Trade Commission's vote in the case of damage to the final ruling, 6 members ruled that a 3:3 vote in China’s imports of US products would cause substantial damage to the US industry.

It is reported that the affirmative final ruling report released on the 27th has been submitted to the US Department of Commerce, and a detailed version of the report will be announced next month. The U.S. Department of Commerce will issue anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders on August 3. According to the extent of the final ruling of the US Department of Commerce in June this year, Chinese tire manufacturers will be subject to anti-dumping duties ranging from 14.35% to 87.99% and counter-subsidy taxes from 20.73% to 100.77%.

For most tire companies in China, the combination of two high tariffs means that the U.S. market is closed or closed, and some companies will also face the test of life and death. Industry data shows that China’s passenger car and light truck tires are highly dependent on the U.S. market, and 40% of China’s tire production needs to be exported, of which the US is the major export market for tires in China and accounts for about a quarter of China’s total tire exports. .

Since June 2014, the United States launched a double-survey against my tires, and the negative impact has already appeared. China's tire exports to the United States plummeted. According to statistics, from January to May 2015, the export volume of rubber tires for passenger cars was 681,000 tons, which was 23.8% lower than the same period of last year and 128,000 tons for US tires, down 40.7% from the same period of last year.

According to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in the first half of 2015, under the pressure of economic downturn, the domestic tire market demand continued to be sluggish, and tire exports were seriously affected by the US “double reverse” case, market prices dropped sharply, the industry average operating rate About 60%, more than 10 percentage points lower than the same period of last year, the "volume price drop" situation.

"Now that tires are exported to the United States, unless it is particularly competitive high-end products or large-size tire products, the general continued export of tire products is basically losing money. Domestic tire companies that have built factories in Southeast Asia, by the 'double anti' The impact will be smaller," an industry source pointed out.

According to industry statistics, the United States has a huge impact on China’s tires and upstream and downstream industries. More than 200 companies involved in the case in China amounted to US$3.37 billion, second only to PV “double reverse” cases, directly affecting 350,000 tire industrial workers. Employment issues. It is worth noting that in the "double reverse" ruling, China's state-owned tire companies were found to have double tax rates of more than 100%, which is far higher than the level of about 40% for other companies. This means that in the future, these companies must pay a high tariff that is more than double the price of the product in order to enter the US market.

"The U.S. Department of Commerce has discriminated against Chinese state-owned companies as high as 100.2%. We will consider appealing it to the WTO," said an unnamed industry source.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Trade Relief and Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce, the US International Trade Commission has observed the facts of the customer and made a definite damage ruling in the United States with a good tire industry operating condition, thus levying a levy on the tire products involved in Chinese exports to the United States. Anti-dumping and countervailing duties. In June of this year, the U.S. Department of Commerce had adopted a number of unfair and discriminatory practices and calculated high dumping and subsidies for Chinese companies involved in the case. The U.S. decision will seriously damage the export interests of the companies involved in the case. The Chinese tire industry is strongly dissatisfied with the US ruling, and the Chinese government has repeatedly expressed serious concerns to the US to clarify its position and will safeguard its rights and interests in accordance with the WTO rules.

Bai Ming, a research fellow at the Ministry of Commerce said that under the pressure of "double reverse," China's auto tire industry chain reshuffle will be inevitable. Those tire companies that gradually shift their focus to the development and production of high-tech and high-value-added products will undoubtedly gain more opportunities for growth and expansion.
