“As investment has become overheated, exports have become the only way out for enterprises. At present, 30% of car tyres in China do not meet the minimum requirements for rolling resistance in the first phase of the EU, and 70% do not meet the minimum requirements for the second phase. Apart from their own problems. The domestic and international trade environment is also the main reason.

Recently, the Brazilian Trade Protection Bureau sent a letter to the Office of the Counsellor of the Chinese Embassy in Brazil, stating that it had concluded the anti-dumping review of imported automobile tires from China. The reexamination result determined that an anti-dumping tax of US$1.08 to 2.17/kg would be imposed on Chinese automobile tires. .

In recent years, China's tires have been repeatedly investigated and filed for anti-dumping investigations. Who is China's tires?

Chinese tires are repeatedly attacked by groups

It is understood that Brazil's anti-dumping investigation on Chinese tires began in the second half of last year, mainly targeting 13-inch and 14-inch domestic passenger car tires. When Brazil submitted an anti-dumping investigation last year, China had filed a protest request. The announcement of Brazil this time was a ruling and announcement of the results of last year's investigation.

This is not the first country to conduct anti-dumping investigations on Chinese tires or formally impose dumping duties. In 2009, the US International Trade Commission proposed to impose 55%, 45%, and 35% ad valorem special tariffs on China-used passenger cars and light truck tires for three consecutive years. On September 11, 2009, U.S. President Barack Obama decided to impose a tariff on China's tire special protection case for a period of three years: In the first year, he will impose a 35% tariff on tires imported from China and a 30% increase in the second year. Three years plus 25%.

Subsequently, the Argentine government department stated that it would conduct anti-dumping investigations on automobile tires originating in China with reference to the previous practice between Brazil and the United States. The anti-dumping measures officially issued by Argentina are as follows: Anti-dumping duties are imposed on tourism vehicle tires by 23%, anti-dumping duties on agricultural and forestry vehicle tires are levied by 10%, and anti-dumping duties on bus and truck tires are levied by 17%; Models of radial tires are suspended for six months. The above measures will take effect on June 22, 2011 and will be valid for 2 years.

On June 22, 2012, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Tourism of Colombia announced that it had launched an anti-dumping investigation on tires and truck tires imported from China.

The European Union's tire "Labeling Law" began to be implemented, which imposes more stringent requirements on the performance of imported tires. At present, 30% of car tires in China do not meet the minimum requirements for rolling resistance in the first phase of the EU, and 70% do not meet the minimum requirements for the second phase.

Chinese tires are frequently subjected to anti-dumping investigations. They often encounter technical barriers and move their cheese.

Industry must strengthen self-discipline

Driven by the rapid development of the automobile industry, China's tire industry has been ranked first in the world for 10 consecutive years since 2002, and its output has already accounted for 1/3 of the world total, and it is still growing at a rate much higher than that of automobiles. However, as a result of overheated industrial investment, inventory has risen sharply, and exports have become the only way for companies. The data shows that at present, China's tire exports account for about 42% of total domestic production. Fengshen Tire Propaganda Department official told reporters that a large number of exports show that China's tire excess capacity.

By the end of 2012, there were more than 500 domestic tire companies in China, large and small, and there were more than 300 tire companies in Shandong Province, and they were increasing year by year. Most of them were small businesses, and the industry concentration was low, and export goods were mobile. Passenger cars and bicycles use pneumatic rubber tires. Although Fengshen Tire, Linglong Tire, and Zhongce Rubber have invested a lot of energy in brand promotion and independent R&D, they cannot change the overall weak status of the industry.

Aeolus Tire related sources stated that most domestic tire manufacturers in China are seeking short-term economic benefits, with low R&D investment, relatively weak research and development capabilities, and difficulty in upgrading their product grades. There is still a large gap between the production technology and technology and international standards. The competitiveness is obviously insufficient, and the energy consumption is high and the output is low, thus constraining the sustainable development of China's tire industry in the future. According to an industry source, the tires exported by China have long been positioned as low-end products in the international market, and often suffer from trade protection barriers. Export prices have also been artificially reduced by 20% to 30%, which is not as good as that of India, Thailand and other countries.

It is precisely for this reason that this year the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology entrusted the China Rubber Industry Association to organize the research and development of the "conditions for the entry of the tire industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "access conditions"). It is learnt that the “Entry Requirements” will add specific requirements for the quality of green tires and tire products, increase the specific requirements for energy and resource consumption of tire manufacturers, and limit the emission of water pollutants, air pollutants, and odor pollutants. Requirements; proposed tire companies must implement the "three guarantees" policy, as well as the recall of defective products and so on. Enterprises that meet the “Entry Conditions” can enjoy the support of national policies and banks in order to achieve the goal of eliminating backward production capacity, suppressing excess production capacity, and changing the lack of market supervision.

Anti-dumping must have national will

“Chinese tires are frequently subjected to anti-dumping investigations. On the one hand, there are problems with Chinese companies themselves. On the other hand, they cannot push their responsibilities to enterprises.” Cui Dongshu, deputy secretary-general of the National Passenger Vehicle Market Information Association, told reporters.

Cui Dongshu believes that in China, due to limited restrictions, some multinational tire companies such as Michelin, Bridgestone and other giants have expanded their production capacities in China. According to statistics, foreign-funded enterprises account for 70% of the market share of passenger car tires in China, and also occupy a large share in the high-end truck and passenger car tire markets. Due to disadvantages in brand, technology, etc., brand tires have to enter international market

"Anti-dumping investigation is a very normal phenomenon in current international trade, but we need to analyze whether this investigation is reasonable. China's tire exports to Brazil, which is 3 to 4 US dollars per kilogram, impose such a heavy tax, certainly on its own brand It is a blow. Brazil has a lot of restrictions on China's vehicles," Cui Dongshu told reporters.

Cui Dongshu believes that because many countries frequently launch anti-dumping investigations on Chinese tires , there are many reasons that are not sufficient. This not only hurts Chinese tire companies, but also has a great impact on the local market. "We should learn from China's practice of dumping incidents in the European photovoltaic industry and put pressure on these countries through the will of the country. Otherwise, more and more countries will follow suit. The government should also provide more targeted and effective guidance to companies."
