The anti-dumping duty can be imposed only if
goods are imported at dumping prices. Safeguard duties are measures to protect
the domestic industry from a sudden surge in imports. The World Trade
Organization does not allow such duties to be imposed for more than four years
at a stretch.
In February 2015, Automotive Tyre
Manufacturers' Association (ATMA), in its pre-budget submission, has urged the
government to increase the customs duty on tyres from basic rate of 10% to 20%
and putting imports of tyres under negative list in all trade agreements, so as
to provide a level-playing field to the domestic manufacturing. And now ATMA
has sought safeguard tariffs on car tyre imports from China and South Korea.
