In the past four years, the anti-dumping duties and countervailing duty cases of Chinese companies in the United States announced their initial success.
Recently, the U.S. International Trade Court ruled that China’s Hebei Xingmao Company and Tianjin United Tire & Rubber Co. v. the US Department of Commerce’s case: The U.S. failed to reasonably solve the problem of anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Chinese-produced tires. Countervailing decisions.
The two Chinese tire companies that won the lawsuit maintained a low-key response. The reporter immediately contacted Hebei Xingmao Company. Director Zhang of the company’s office rejected the interview on the ground that “the leaders were in the field and there is no relevant person in chargeâ€. The responsible person of Tianjin United Tire Company interviewed this reporter. Said: "This case is not yet over. The US Department of Commerce is likely to appeal. Now it can only wait. It is not convenient to comment."
Winston Law Firm lawyer Li Yu told reporters: “The U.S. Department of Commerce must terminate the anti-subsidy levy on companies involved in the case within 30 days, and the ruling may be appealed to the Federal District Court of Appeals for the Circuit. The final outcome of this case will wait until the court. After the final review of the second instance, this will probably take another year."
Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesman Yao Jian stated at a regular press conference on August 17th that the United States’ investigation of China’s “double opposition†is a discriminatory measure against Chinese companies, and the US Department of Commerce has a clear stipulation in the law. Next, it is unreasonable to continue to carry out “double counter†investigations on Chinese tire exports.
However, this "unreasonable" measure has been implemented for Chinese companies for four years. After hearing the news of the victory, not only Hebei Xingmao Company and Tianjin United Tire & Rubber Co., Ltd. performed in a low-key manner, but most of the tire companies also said they were deeply affected by the "double reverse" case. It is difficult to recover the "lost ground" of exports in the short term.
Not only that, Chinese tire companies must continue to face the "special protection" level set by the U.S. government.
U.S. President Barack Obama announced in September 2009 that he had imposed a three-year punitive tariff on China's imported tires on the ground of "protecting employment." This was the first time the United States had used China's accession to the WTO to apply the "safeguards clause" in 2001 ( That is, specific product transitional safeguard measures) impose punitive tariffs on Chinese products.
On the morning of August 22, 2010, Shandong Linglong Group deputy general manager and foreign minister Wang Guomei accepted an interview with this reporter that the US Department of Commerce’s practice of simultaneously imposing anti-dumping duties and countervailing duties on Chinese tires constituted double taxation. The U.S. International Trade Court should not only rule on the two companies but also make similar rulings for related Chinese companies.
This reporter learned that the United States tire special security policy implements "different tax rates from different manufacturers", the US International Trade Court's ruling on two Chinese companies does not have reference value for other tire companies, other Chinese companies want the same tax rate , also need to re-apply and Americans to litigate. This means that the unpunished company's punitive tax rate is still 210.48%.
"As we all know, in the United States, lawsuits, lawyer fees are a big expenditure, and it takes a long time, which is not all companies can afford it." Wang Guomei told reporters.
Xingmao's case is a typical example. The predecessor of Hebei Xingmao Tire was Hebei Tire Co., Ltd., which is the largest tire manufacturer in Hebei Province. In 2003, its “Whale†brand tires were approved by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine to use “Certificates of Origin†certification. Products are exported to North America, South America, Africa, the Middle East and other world more than 40 countries and regions, the annual export volume of more than 15 million US dollars. However, in 2007, the Ministry of Commerce's one-off judgment had a significant impact on Xingmao's companies, and the company even temporarily stopped production.
The data shows that in 2008 the company exported 367 batches of US tires, 339,242 articles, and valued US$28.658 million. Affected by the anti-dumping case, from January to September 2009, the company only exported 37 batches of 10,271 items with a value of 1.13 million US dollars. The batch, quantity, and value of goods decreased by 89.9%, 97%, and 96% respectively year-on-year.
More than just Hebei Xingmao, the number of tire enterprises in the country that have exported to the United States has accumulated and declined. According to statistics from China Customs, from January to April 2010, the number of new inflatable rubber tyres for motorized passenger cars was 40,442,700, an increase of 28% year-on-year, and the proportion of exports to the United States was 22.87%, compared with 39% for exports to the United States in the same period of 2009. . The proportion of exports to the United States dropped by 16.13%. In addition, the number of new inflatable rubber tires for motorized passenger cars exported to the United States in April was 2.5553 million, a decrease of 9.2% from the previous quarter.
In the face of high punitive tariffs, most tire companies place their hopes on the government, which can increase the export tax rebate rate for some self-branded products and reduce the tariffs on natural rubber so as to reduce the cost of tire companies. There are also companies actively exploring a diversified market to avoid market risks.
"China's tire export companies need to adjust product mix in a timely manner, but also to open up a diversified market, to get rid of the constraints of specific markets." Liang Liangguang, general manager of Double Star tires said that in 2009 Double Star tires increased to South America, Africa, Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe And other market input. In the first half of 2010, the export volume of Double Star Tire increased by 96% compared with the same period in 2009.
