China tire memorabilia in 2005;
In March 2005, the Indian Tire Manufacturers Association indicated that it would submit an application for anti-dumping proceedings against automobile tires originating in China to the government within 1 month. DRavindran, director of the association, said that the Indian Automobile Tire Manufacturers Association had informed the customs in advance and provided the current market price of tires. The Indian Tire Dealers Association said that the manufacturers association's move was "unfair". The low price of tires in China is because the sales price of natural rubber in China is much lower than that in India. The Ministry of Commerce requires relevant production/export enterprises in China to pay close attention to the development of this matter and make active preparations to ensure the smooth export.
In April, 2 0 05, the Turkish government issued an announcement, made a preliminary anti-dumping ruling on tires originating in China, and decided to levy a provisional anti-dumping duty with a tax rate of 3 3% from March, 2 005. This move once again sounded the "alarm" for China's tire export to encounter anti-dumping. Anti-dumping can easily lead to imitation. Since 2 004, Turkey, India, Peru and other countries have initiated anti-dumping investigations on tires exported from China. If this trend continues, it will inevitably have a negative impact on the tire industry in China.
On August 20th, 2 0 05, the Turkish Foreign Trade Administration made a final ruling on the anti-dumping case of tires originating in China, and found that the products involved were dumped, which caused damage to Turkey's domestic industry. The final ruling decided to levy an anti-dumping duty of 6 0% or 8 7% on tires originating in China according to the CIF price and different tariff codes from now on. In this case, the responding enterprises in China did not obtain the market economy status.
On June 28th, 2005, 65438+1October 28th, South Africa International Trade Management Committee issued an announcement to accept the application submitted by South African Manufacturing Alliance on behalf of South African tire manufacturers. Initiate anti-dumping investigation on tires originating in China. The South African International Trade Management Committee believes that it originated in China. Tyres are dumped at low prices in South Africa's domestic market, causing substantial damage to related industries in South Africa. The dumping investigation period is from February 2 004 1 October1day to March 3, 2005, and the damage investigation period is from February 2 0021October 65438 to March 3, 20051day. In early 2 005, the South African Manufacturing Alliance submitted an application to the South African International Trade Management Committee on behalf of South African tire manufacturers. The evidence provided in the application shows that the tires originating in China are sold in South Africa at a price lower than the normal value, which makes it impossible for domestic manufacturers of similar products in South Africa to participate in fair competition in the market, which has a serious impact on the operation and development of domestic tire manufacturers in South Africa. The products involved are new pneumatic tires, of which the customs code is 4 0 1 1 1 0 00,' mainly used for motorcycles; The customs code is 4 0 1 1 2 0 1 5, which is mainly used for trucks and buses. The customs code is 40 1 1 2 02 5, which is mainly used for cars with load index not exceeding 1 2 1 and cars with load index exceeding 1 2 1.

On June 65438+February 3, 20051,China tire industry responded to the South African anti-dumping investigation, which became the first large-scale collective response of China tire enterprises under the leadership of the tire branch of China Rubber Industry Association. Zhang Yi, a lawyer of Beijing Xiaoyun Law Firm, said as a representative lawyer, "As far as we know, no industry in China has been subjected to such a high-frequency anti-dumping investigation as the tire industry, so this case is the most typical case in which China products have suffered anti-dumping damage in export. We ask the government to negotiate with the South African government and related enterprises. " In the past five years, China tire enterprises have experienced many blows. In previous anti-dumping, China's tire enterprises did not realize the seriousness of the problem, and the export amount was small, which had little impact and basically did not make any defense. Therefore, China tire basically withdrew from Venezuelan and Peruvian markets.
Because China is rich in cheap labor, rubber processing enterprises in developed countries quickly moved to China. At present, eight of the top ten tires in the world have settled in China, which has promoted the substantial increase of tire production in China. The domestic tire market presents a situation of oversupply. In this case, tire enterprises have increased their export efforts. However, the export tire products and market structure are not reasonable. The export tires are mainly low-grade tires, and the export price is low; Exporting countries are mainly developing countries, and tires exported to the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa and South America account for about 7 0% of the total exports, while developed countries such as North America and the European Union account for a small proportion. With the rapid growth of China's tire export in recent years, more and more anti-dumping cases have been encountered. Although nominally initiated by tire manufacturers' associations in South Africa, India and other countries, it is actually the world tire giant manipulation association. In recent years, these multinational companies, which monopolize nearly 60% of the international market, frequently set up factories in China, squeezing the domestic market of China tire enterprises through various marketing methods, forcing China enterprises to expand overseas markets in Europe, America, South America, Asia and Africa, and make up for domestic losses. However, just as China enterprises entered the international market on a large scale, these world tire giants realized that China tires might threaten their share in the international market, so they squeezed China enterprises' share in the international market through the above-mentioned anti-dumping cases.
In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of repeated anti-dumping and safeguard measures, Chinese tire manufacturers should actively plan anti-dumping countermeasures from the policy and technical level. Governments at all levels and relevant departments should intensify macro-control of tire production and export, and strive to promote the transformation of tire export from quantity to technology and efficiency. Trade associations should give full play to the role of management and coordination, strengthen industry self-discipline and avoid vicious competition; Enterprises should be organized to deal with foreign anti-dumping investigations as soon as possible to avoid causing greater economic losses.
Export tire enterprises should implement famous brand strategy, intensify technical transformation and adjust export product structure; Actively carry out system certification and export certification of foreign products; Key enterprises use their technological advantages to invest and build factories abroad to guard against foreign anti-dumping risks.
