WTO upholds US import tariffs on Chinese produced tyres
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has upheld the US government’s decision to impose 35 per cent import tariffs on Chinese produced passenger car tyres in September 2009. Two years later these have been lowered to 25 per cent, as initially planned. However, the Chinese authorities maintain that the original ruling has seriously harmed Chinese producers and the decision to uphold it will “intensify their difficulties.”
