The China Chamber of Commerce to the EU takes note of the European Commission's definitive anti-dumping duties on Chinese passenger car and light truck tyres. The additional tariffs may create further cost pressures across the broader automotive ecosystem, affecting companies throughout the value chain, including Chinese manufacturers, European and other foreign-invested companies producing in China, as well as importers, distributors, retailers and consumers in Europe. The significant differences in duty rates among producers may have implications for the competitive position of companies operating in the same market, including European and Asian manufacturers with production facilities in China. We hope trade defence measures can continue to be applied in a fair, transparent and proportionate manner, supporting a stable and predictable China-EU trade environment.
