Due to falling demand for tyres and
depreciating rupee making imports costlier, All India Tyre Dealers’ Federation
(AITDF) have urged the government to immediately notify the removal of
anti-dumping duty.
In August 2011, the Customs,
Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal had set aside the antidumping duty
levied by the government. The tribunal directed the government to immediately
withdraw anti-dumping duty on tyre imports from China and Thailand. Department
of Commerce had imposed duty of $32 to $90 on import of truck or bus radials. According
to AITDF, the notification is yet to be published in the official gazette,
although the government has honoured the order of the tribunal.
According to S P Singh, AITDF convener, anti-dumping
duty continues to be levied even now, we, therefore urge the government to
immediately notify the withdrawal of the duty. The removal of antidumping duty will
help the trade and will provide relief to radial tyre users in the country.
