Taipei, Jan. 2 (CNA) The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) has vowed to assist Taiwanese vehicle tire makers accused of unfair trade practices by the United States who face anti-dumping tariffs.
The Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT) under the MOEA said on Friday that it will meet the affected firms in the anti-dumping case and their association as soon as possible to discuss how to secure a favorable decision from the U.S. authorities and reduce the impact of financial punishments.
The move by the BOFT to offer help came after the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) on Wednesday released a preliminary ruling based on its anti-dumping duty investigations, saying passenger vehicle and light truck tire makers from Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam have dumped their products on the U.S. market.
Tires Made in Southeast Asia Will Be More Expensive
Tires from South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam are about to get more pricey, as the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) announced yesterday preliminary duties in the antidumping duty (AD) investigations of passenger vehicle and light truck tires from those countries.
The DOC issued a preliminary decision that passenger and light truck tires imported from South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam are being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value, or dumped. The dumping margins were calculated at 14.24 to 38.07 percent for South Korea, 52.42 to 98.44 percent for Taiwan, 13.25 to 22.21 percent for Thailand, and 0 to 22.30 percent for Vietnam. The DOC instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect deposits from tire importers based on those preliminary rates.

The United Kingdom (UK) approved its second COVID-19 vaccine this week, while the European Union (EU) moved forward quickly with distribution of its first-approved vaccine to its Member States. United States (US) President Donald Trump signed another COVID relief measure linked to an Omnibus appropriations bill late on Sunday, after objecting initially to a number of provisions and calling for additional congressional action, which has kept the US Congress in Washington this week.
On the eve of Christmas Day, the UK and EU secured a deal outlining terms for the two trading partners after Britain exits the Customs Union on 31 December. This week, the EU also secured a deal with the People’s Republic of China (“China” or “PRC”) that addresses investments. Meanwhile, the US Government unveiled its new Aluminum Import Monitoring and Analysis (AIM) system and released two reports – one focused on human trafficking in the seafood su
Going on design sketches, the Commission decided the new “post-2020” Roxor styling no longer infringes on Jeep’s intellectual property.
Jeep’s lawsuit initially blocked Roxor sales in Canada as well, but the redesign and new ruling should open the door again. Roxor’s Canadian site temporarily closed for new orders but indicates it will reopen when the 2021 model is in production.
But don’t figure out your colours and options just yet, because Jeep apparently doesn’t believe this town is big enough for two kings of the trail. According to
The Detroit News, FCA plans to appeal the decision, redesigned or not. And we’re guessing Ford already has its popcorn ready, and is sitting beside its upcoming Bronco to see just how all of this ultimately plays out.
