Importers have warned of much pricier tyres in South Africa if an application to impose anti-dumping tariffs on Chinese imports succeed.
The SA Tyre Manufacturers Conference (SATMC) – which represents Continental, Bridgestone, Goodyear and Sumitomo – has applied to the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (ITAC) for anti-dumping duties on Chinese imports.
ITAC spokesperson Thalukanyo Nangammbi says that SATMC had applied for anti-dumping duties on new pneumatic tyres (rubber tires that are filled with air and mounted around wheels) for cars, as well as for tyres used on buses or lorries imported or originating from China.
