India Imposed Anti-Subsidy Duty on China's Truck & Car Tire

India Imposed Anti-Subsidy Duty of up to 17.57% on China’s Truck and Passenger Car Tire

Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India issued a formal announcement on March 29 that it determined that there were subsidies for the use of pneumatic tires for trucks and passenger car originating in China or imported from China. The affirmative final ruling of anti-subsidy was recommended to impose 9.12%-17.57% of anti-subsidy duty on products involved in China.

As seen from the above table, these 6 enterprises including Zhongce Rubber Group, Shandong Wanda Boto Tire, Triangle Tyre, etc. were imposed various anti-subsidy duties. Other domestic producers should be imposed 17.57% of anti-subsidy duty of their truck and passenger car tires exporting to India. Besides, China’s exported products (regardless of the origin) should be imposed the same standard’s anti-subsidy duty. 

In the past, India has imposed the anti-dumping duty on related products. In addition, the anti-subsidy duty and anti-dumping duty were levied at the highest duty rate. That is to say, if the anti-dumping duty is higher than the anti-subsidy duty, the anti-subsidy duty will be exempted. If the anti-subsidy duty is higher than the anti-dumping duty, the difference between the anti-subsidy duty and the anti-dumping duty needs to be paid to the Indian Customs.

In late March, 2018, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India conducted an anti-subsidy investigation. The representative enterprises that submitted the applications included Apollo Tyres, J.K. Tyre, MRF Group, etc. The anti-subsidy investigation period for this case is from October 2016 to September 2017 (12 months), and the damage investigation period is from 2014 to 2015, 2015 to 2016, 2016 to 2017 and the anti-subsidy investigation period. The related products are under HS code 4011.20.
