Turkey reviews anti-dumping duties imposed on Vietnamese tyres
(VOV) - The General Directorate of Imports under the Turkish Ministry of Economy has reviewed anti-dumping duties imposed on motorbike and bike tyres imported from Vietnam.
The Vietnam Competition Authority (VAC) under the Ministry of Industry and Trade said on August 5 that Vietnamese products to Turkey are likely to be imposed the same high anti-dumping duties as decided after the 2010 review of 29-49% on motorbike tyres and 30-44% on bike tyres.
Since 2004, Turkey has imposed anti-dumping duties on motorbike and bike tyres imported from Vietnam in response to a complaint lodged by Anatolia Rubber Ind. and Trade Inc. company.

Such high import tariffs have constituted a barrier for the export of Vietnamese motorbike and bike tyres to Turkey.
However, the plaintiff continued asking for an imposition of anti-dumping duties on Vietnamese products, reasoning that the Turkish domestic industry might suffer significant losses if it is removed.
