The reporter learned yesterday from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce for the Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products that the US domestic industry has filed an application with the US investigation authority to initiate an anti-dumping and anti-subsidy merger investigation on China’s steel wheel products. If it is filed, this will be the face of China’s auto parts industry. The first US anti-double investigation will have a major impact on related domestic companies in China.

The relevant person in charge of the Electrical and Mechanical Chamber of Commerce said that in recent years, my auto spare parts industry has been frequently investigated by foreign trade remedies. The US domestic industry filing application is an anti-dumping investigation against the steel wheels of South Africa and Australia. The EU launched an anti-dumping investigation against my aluminum wheels. Later, it involved another trade remedy investigation case in my wheel industry.

The person in charge said that the US Department of Commerce is expected to make a case investigation decision on April 19. According to preliminary statistics, in 2010, China exported 1.386 billion US dollars of steel wheel hub products to the United States.

The person in charge said that the Electrical and Mechanical Commerce Association had organized domestic industries to successfully respond to anti-dumping investigations on US brakes, investigations on US brakes and brake hubs, and anti-dumping investigations on steel wheels in South Africa. The electromechanical chamber of commerce will closely follow this case, cooperate with the Ministry of Commerce and other departments, carry out various work in a timely manner, and organize enterprises to go all out to carry out response work.
