On June 3, US time, the United States Steel Workers' Federation (USW) officially submitted applications to the US International Trade Commission (USITC) and the US Department of Commerce (USDOC) on behalf of US domestic industries, requesting the export of cars and light truck tires to China.

According to US Customs statistics, China’s exports of tires to the US in 2013 amounted to US$2.078 billion in 2013, and exports in the first quarter of this year were US$510 million. The plaintiff listed a large number of Chinese export and production companies in the indictment, including Tianjin Bridgestone Tire Co., Ltd. and many other companies.
Yu Shengxing, a partner of Haihua Yongtai Law Firm, said in an interview yesterday that this is the United States. After the expiration of special measures for Chinese cars and light truck tires in 2009, the company changed the pattern and adopted the double-reverse method to set up Chinese tires. Trade barriers, Chinese tire companies should actively respond to this and protect their own interests.
In April 2009, the US Steel Workers Federation also applied to the US International Trade Commission to launch a special insurance investigation on Chinese-made passenger car tires. In the complaint, it claimed that the large number of imported tires from China damaged the interests of the local tire industry; if no measures were taken against Chinese tires, 3,000 American workers would lose their jobs by the end of 2009.
In June of the same year, the US International Trade Commission, on the grounds that Chinese tires disrupted the US market, suggested that the United States would use the current import tariffs (3.4% to 4.0%) to separate Chinese passenger cars and light truck tires for three consecutive years. Additional special tariffs of 55%, 45% and 35% are imposed. On September 11, 2009, US President Barack Obama decided to impose a tariff on the Chinese tire special protection case for a period of three years. In the first year, a 35% tariff will be imposed on tires imported from China. 30% for the second year and 25% for the third year.
China sued the United States against the World Trade Organization (WTO) on this tire special lawsuit. Unfortunately, on December 13, 2010, the WTO rejected China’s claim that the United States imposed punitive tariffs on its US tires. The arbitration team said that the United States adopted “transitional protection measures†for Chinese tires in September 2009. Imposing punitive tariffs does not violate WTO regulations. On September 5, 2011, the WTO ruled that China lost the case.
Previously, one-third of the tires produced in China were exported to the US market. The export volume was close to 2.2 billion US dollars, accounting for 17% of the US market consumption. However, due to the US imposed restrictions on Chinese tire special protection cases, China is against the United States. Tire exports have fallen sharply. In 2011, China’s exports of such tires to the US fell to 968 million US dollars. After the expiration of three years, Chinese tires' exports to the US market rebounded rapidly.
Yu Shengxing believes that in the face of the resurgence of the US Steel Workers Federation and the lifting of the double-bars to Chinese tire companies, China’s related tire companies and related associations need to actively respond to the lawsuit and strive to maintain the interests of the US market. . At present, many tire companies are learning about the situation.
