AD Duties on tyres
According to Ministry of Foreign Trade and
Industry Decree 231/2005 (Official Journal
No.60, Supplement A of 17.03.2005), the validity
period of Ministry of Trade Decree 484/1999
imposing AD duties on tyres originating in or
exported from Japan, South Korea, France and the
EU, has been extended until 02.10.2009.
The level of AD duties remains the same:
-
For Michelin: 4.4% on tyres
for passenger cars and 13% on pick-up tyres.
-
For Dunlop and other EU
companies: 86% on tyres for passenger cars, 33%
on pick-up tyres and 14% on tyres for trucks and
buses.
According to Mr. Moafaq El
Fayoumi, Head of the AD Unit at the MFTI, the
special treatment granted to MS if they present
a certificate of origin stating national origin
instead of the European one is still valid:
-
Tyres produced by Michelin in
any of the EU Member States are subject to
duties.
-
Tyres not produced by
Michelin are also subject to duties if they bear
EU origin, but are exempted from duties if they
bear Member State origin.
To avoid payment of AD
duties, an EU exporter of tyres (except for
Michelin) has to ask for a certificate of origin
issued by the relevant MS authority and stating
the Member State (and not the EU) as the origin.
