India introduces duty for Chinese, Thai cross-ply tyres

India’s Ministry of Finace has implemented anti-dumping duties on cross-ply tyres imported from China and Thailand. The duty will be in place for five years; tyres imported from Thailand will attract duties of $0.86/kg, while most cross-ply tyres from China will be liable to duties of $1.31/kg. Tyres produced in China by Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Co Ltd will have a lower $1.12/kg duty.

The anti-dumping duty will also be applicable on certain tubes and flaps.
