On June 3, 2014, the United Steel Workers Union (USW) union petitioned the International Trade Commission (ITC) to request against the import of passenger car and light truck tires from China.
The Iron and Steel Workers Union (USW) filed a petition on June 3, demanding prosecution against the issue of anti-dumping countervailing duties, citing Articles 701 and 731 of the 1930 Trade Act.
In April 2009, the association had jointly signed a trade bill under the relief of ITC. Its purpose was to fight against the surge of imports from China to help harm the American industry.
The U.S. International Trade Commission and the U.S. Trade Representative Office (USTR) found time at the Steel Workers' Federation. In September 2009, US President Barack Obama signed an order to impose high tariffs on China's imports of passenger cars and light truck tires for three years.
It was 39% in the first year, 34% in the first year, and 29% in the third year. It finally returned to normal 4% in September 2012.
In a new International Trade Center application for a fact sheet, USW called tariffs to help the domestic tire industry and tire workers fight back because China's imports caused the closure of factories and unemployment "real success."
"However, the passenger car and light truck tires imported from China have once again soared to the U.S. market," the union said. From 24.60 million in 2011 and 31.5 million in 2012, China's tire imports totaled 50.8 million, and in 2013 it was close to $2.1 billion (about 13 billion yuan) in value, it said.
"The iron and steel market share in China is the direct cost of American workers and domestic producers," said the Steel Workers Federation. "The petition shows that these surging imported tires are being actively funded by the Chinese government and are being thrown into the US market below fair value."
The union said that it has found 41 different subsidy programs provided to Chinese tire manufacturers, including many banned export subsidies.
Publicly available price information from tire retailers indicates that Chinese tires are 12% to 40% lower than US tire prices, according to trade unions. At the same time, the current dumping margin for tires imported from China is as much as 92%, it said.
"If these trends continue, U.S. producers may lose another 10 million in tire shipments, and will be imported from China in 2014," the union claimed.
The following statement was announced by the United States Steel Workers Union (USW) and the June 3 application for anti-dumping and countervailing duty cases involving passengers and light truck tires from China. Under the circumstances, it is claimed that the sales of these products have caused China to enter the US market with a large amount of dumping and substantial subsidies. Here is the full content of the release.
“The unfair pricing of tires has resumed a massive influx into the US market from Chinese imports,†said USW International Chairman Leo W. Gerard. “The domestic tire manufacturers have rapidly lost market share in the past two years. Domestic shipments have been weakened by the surge in imports from China, and our economic recovery has caused domestic producers and their workers to have insufficient benefits to consider.
“The dumping margin determined in this case is even as high as 92%. Simply put, China is stealing employment opportunities in the United States. The Steel Workers’ Union intends to fight for every one of these jobs.â€
The Iron and Steel Workers Federation said that China once again aimed at the US car and light card tire market. In 2009, the Iron and Steel Workers Federation put forward tires for Chinese passenger cars and light trucks. First of all, only such a successful operation has a historic safeguard role.
"More far from four years ago, in this case, -2004 to 2008 - Imports from China have soared 46 million tires from 14.6 million, causing significant damage to the US tire industry, multiple factories closed and unacceptable Layoffs," USW International Secretary General, Treasury Secretary Stan Johnson, front tire worker. “President Obama supported our work and during his term of office, relief efforts were in place, and Chinese tire imports fell to about half the level.
“However, it is China again. After the rescue provided by the president due in 2012, China once again aimed at the US market. Imports more than doubled to 50.8 million tires in the final year, only in the first quarter of 2014. The tires imported from China have surged by an extra 24.6%. This is a valuable market, and China hopes to take advantage of it and take action to solve this problem. "
"Our work struggle in the department is far from over," said Tom Conway, vice president of the Iron Workers' International Division. "China is expanding its industry and targeting the US market to sell products and subsidize sales wherever it is. With China expanding its production, increasing job opportunities in this industry, it is our workers who pay the price with unemployment.
“We are very proud that the Obama administration is also working hard, acting according to the rules, and hoping to consider Americans in a competitive and fair competitive environment. In this case, the facts are strong and we hope to have with China. WTO commitments and fair trade rules adhere to win again. "
Gerard said. “We would rather stick to the rules of the country. When our members are injured, the steel workers are in action. And we cannot stand by, because China has stolen our work. The enforcement of rules is a basic prerequisite for the trading system, and China’s deception, Severely destroy it.
"U.S. workers are tired of trade agreements and countries like China haven't dried their previous ink."
