The European Commission has imposed anti-dumping duties on the import of tyres for cars and lighter trucks and buses from China, reports Reuters.
The duties, which followed an investigation launched in November last year, vary from 4.3% to 45.3%.
“Imports of passenger car and light lorry tyres from China were entering the EU at dumped prices. This is causing injury to the EU’s tyre industry, which employs over 80,000 people across 14 EU countries,” the Commission said.
