According to the Ministry of Commerce’s Import and Export Fair Trade Bureau, Michael Veitenheimer, President of the US Consumer Industry Trade Action Alliance (CITAC), sent a letter to the U.S. Trade Representative’s Office on January 29, requesting reconsideration and termination of special tire protection measures.
CITAC believes that the tire-insurance measures taken at the request of a small number of people do not take into consideration the consumption area and the wider economic impact. This is wrong. The current special tariff of 35% on imported tires in China has seriously affected the interests of the poor in the United States, which has made the situation worse for American automakers, tire distributors, retailers, and general consumers. These damages cannot offset the so-called "benefits" obtained by American tire workers. Tyre safeguards do not give the United States a net benefit and should therefore be terminated to the extent permitted by law.
Xu Wenying, deputy secretary-general of the China Rubber Industry Association, said CITAC is an alliance of U.S. manufacturers, retailers, and distributors. Their request is in essence to expect Obama to use Section 421 of the U.S. Trade Act 1974 (section 421). ) The power conferred on him, six months after the measures were announced, the case would be returned to the U.S. International Trade Commission for retrial, and the special tariffs would be revised or withdrawn.
The controversy over the United States to China tire special security case in the United States is growing louder and louder.
