NEW DELHI, India — India's ministry of finance has imposed anti-dumping duties on radial truck and bus tires imported from China following an investigation that found that Chinese TBR tires had been exported to India at "below normal value" causing material injury to domestic producers.
The anti-dumping duties, on new tires with rim diameters of greater than 16 inches, "shall be effective for a period of five years of the official notification," the revenue department added.
The document includes a table specifying tariffs of: $403.21/metric ton on tires produced by Shandong Yinbao Tyre Group Co. Ltd.; $277.53/ton on those made by Aeolus Tyre Co. Ltd. and Qingdao Yellow Sea Rubber Co. Ltd.; and $245.35/ton on products from Shandong Hengfeng Rubber & Plastic Co. Ltd.
Duties of $452.33/ton are also imposed on "non-sampled producers/exporters" including; Good Friend Tyre Co. Ltd.; Jiangsu General Science Technology Co. Ltd.; Shandong Cocrea Tyre Co. Ltd.; Shandong Hengyu Science & Technology Co. Ltd.; Shandong Wanda Boto Tyre Co. Ltd.; Shandong Wanshine Tyre Co. Ltd.; Shandong Xingyuan Tire Group Co. Ltd.; Shandong Yongtai Group Co.
