MOEA to help vehicle tire makers facing U.S. anti-dumping duties 01/02/2021 08:45 PM Pixabay image for illustrative purpose only 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.
