Anti-dumping battle for the first time the tire companies do not win the "silent lambs"

By the end of August, when the tire Shandong Triangle, Chengshan Tire 4, and other domestic tire giant South Africa, received the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) ruled that the book, a small law firm Yun Beijing branch of the anti-dumping affairs director Zhang Yi Chang Shu was also a Tone. The tire business as a respondent in South Africa's anti-dumping lawyer, Zhang Yi can be well aware of the zero tax rate in South Africa was not easy --- After all, this is more than 10 years, the domestic tires from nearly 10 countries in the anti-dumping investigation, was the only A victory.

"In winning the first anti-dumping lawsuit, other tire companies joined the ranks of defense, we would also like to welcome the new campaign." Mid-September, Zhang Yi, told reporters, Qingdao Double Star, South China, such as tires of several major tire companies in the near future will go to South Africa No defense for damage. "In the past two days, the Ministry of Commerce and the leadership of the Double Star, and other related enterprises will gather in Beijing to discuss the next step we have to join the defense strategy." Jedi fight back by the end of the first win

South Africa and other countries in 2005 was launched at the end of the Chinese tire industry in anti-dumping investigation in China has caused wide concern, known as "China in 2006 the first anti-dumping case." Prior to that, in the face of the Chinese tire foreign anti-dumping investigations usually take the "ostrich" to avoid a negative way.

"This win will no doubt greatly enhance our response to similar anti-dumping case of confidence. More importantly, we want to see foreign giant tires, tires Chinese enterprises are not trampled upon the silence of the lambs." ITAC get in the zero-rate After the ruling, in charge of 30 cents to deal with anti-dumping investigation group vice president with emotion, WANG Wen-hao said that the foreign enterprises was repeatedly held up anti-dumping big stick, the root cause lies in the fact that Chinese companies did not respond positively, even if the respondent is barely into battle.

Zhang Yi can not agree with this, he told reporters frankly, "in the anti-dumping investigation, the Triangle, Chengshan Weihai two well-known international companies based on the rules of the advantages of responding positively to win the final and played a key role."

It is reported that in October last year, ITAC issued on the origin of the Chinese tire anti-dumping investigation on file a notice dated dumping investigation on January 1, 2004 to March 31, 2005 to investigate the products China exports to Africa, cars, light Card and heavy truck tires, which is against foreign enterprise of the Chinese tire industry 5th large-scale anti-dumping investigation. In the past anti-dumping investigation, Chinese enterprises are losing end, one after another lost Egypt, Peru, Turkey, India and other markets. Tire companies in the anti-dumping investigation repeatedly defeat, but also make foreign companies and push for too much tire, the fight.

November 21, 2005, including the Chengshan Group, the Group of 30 cents, more than 10 major domestic tire companies, gathered at the Bund, Shanghai's China Rubber Industry Association Branch of the tires started to discuss how to deal with the matter. At the meeting, attended by more than a dozen tire companies agree on: the respondent!

Since then, the Triangle, Chengshan, and other evidence collected a large number of enterprises started to work. Triangle of South Africa hired a lawyer in South Africa and the agents of the total, skilled use of the experience of fight. April 27, 2006 to 29 South African International Trade Commission officials came to the Weihai, Triangle, Chengshan, and other enterprises to conduct on-site inspections of the view that triangle, and three other Chinese companies Chengshan Tire entirely determined by the market price, and South Africa did not constitute damage to the tire business, there is no malicious acts of dumping, and ultimately make a decision in recent days.

For the past two years, enterprises in the face of anti-dumping allegations response, with rich experience in responding to anti-dumping Zhang Yi will be divided into several stages: the first enterprise was "not responding" and then in the Chamber of Commerce and the Association under the guidance of the "negative appearance ", The latest" take the initiative to request the respondent organizations, associations come forward. " "Sufficient evidence in conjunction with vigorous resistance, the result is that the tire industry has finally won the long anti-dumping win the first battle." Yi said.

"Walking on two legs" to avoid trade friction

In recent years, the international monopoly of the market share of nearly 60% of multinational companies set up factories in China, frequently through various marketing means to squeeze China's tire business in the domestic market, Chinese enterprises can only increase the force to open up Europe and the United States, Asia and Africa overseas The domestic market to make up for the loss of tire enterprises in Shandong have set foot on the road overseas gold rush. "In just a large-scale Chinese enterprises to enter the international market, these giant tires also aware that China might pose a threat to their tires in the international market share, then through a number of anti-dumping investigation of Chinese enterprises to squeeze in the international market share, Anti-dumping has become their main means of marketing. "Zhang Yi, some of the heavy tone.

The large number of our tire businesses in the face of this sudden attack, a time at a loss what to do, Hunhunee, missing one after another foreign markets.

According to assistant general manager of the Triangle Tire Mr. Qin, as long as they are involved in triangular anti-dumping products abroad, they have every appearance, this time against South Africa is the fourth of the country. Just as single-handedly, Xingbu Cheng force, which lost at times. "For example, Turkey in 2004 on China's anti-dumping lawsuit against the tire, we are also responding, although enterprises, but lost, and our products are forced to withdraw from the Turkish market.", Also took part in the triangle of Peru, Egypt's anti-dumping suits, but Both end up losing. "This also shows that in fact the anti-dumping case has a strong continuity, if Chinese enterprises do not respond in a market in another market will soon be an even heavier blow." Yi said, the market potential of Africa and the demand is , Is the next step of our tire businesses focus on export markets. South Africa and other countries in Africa and the existence of a customs union, so in South Africa whether anti-dumping in Africa a great impact on other countries. The win, the next step to open up the entire African market is very favorable.

At the same time, Yi pointed out that the trade associations come forward, and on behalf of the defense industry as a whole, this is one of the keys to the success; Second, enterprises and actively respond to the international rules have also played a decisive role in this domestic Tire companies are gradually maturing. "Of course, for the tire industry in the future should be 'walking on two legs', that is, in addition to responding to positive anti-dumping investigations abroad, we must also step up research and development to strengthen its product competitiveness, so as not to Shourenyibing. In this way can Effective anti-dumping to avoid trade friction and so on. "
