Domestic tire industry related policies

With the continuous development of the Chinese tire industry, domestic related policies have also improved.

I. Access conditions for tire retreading and comprehensive utilization On July 31, 2012, the state issued the “Entry Conditions for Tyre Refurbishment Industry” and “Entry Requirements for Comprehensive Utilization of Waste Tires” to regulate the development order of the comprehensive utilization of used tires. Promote the optimization and upgrading of enterprises, strengthen environmental protection, improve the comprehensive utilization of resources, technology and management, and guide the healthy and sustainable development of the industry.

Afterwards, on April 2, 2013, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Provisional Measures for the Administration of Admission Notification of Waste Tire Comprehensive Utilization Industry” in the form of Circular No. 86 of 2013. This is the Interim Measures that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has specifically formulated for the purpose of implementing the “Entry Conditions for Tyre Refurbishment Industry” and the “Entry Conditions for the Comprehensive Utilization of Waste Tire” document, regulating the development of the comprehensive utilization of used tires, and improving the comprehensive utilization level of used tires.

According to Cao Qingxin, Secretary-General of the Waste Rubber Comprehensive Utilization Branch of the China Rubber Industry Association, these policies do have good results. He told the Tire World Network that setting an industry threshold effectively prevented the accumulation and irregular expansion of production, and also played a guiding role in the healthy development of the industry.

Second, "Defective Automobile Product Recall Management Regulations"

On January 1, 2013, the “Regulations on the Revocation of Defective Automobile Products Regulations” was implemented, and the issue of truck tires was recalled by the producers.

The industry generally believes that this ordinance defines the responsible party for tire problems. This is a relatively good trend, but there are still some unresolved issues. According to Cao Jinsheng, former expert of National Center for Supervision and Inspection of Motor Vehicle Product Quality, there are many causes of tire defects. How to define it is due to the improper use of car owners, design problems in the production process, and who defined them, and it is still difficult to solve at this stage. The problem, therefore, everyone is looking forward to the introduction of the rules.

3. China's import tariff on natural rubber was lowered in 2013 Since January 1, 2013, domestic tariffs on natural rubber have been partially adjusted. Among them, the tentative tariff rate for natural rubber import tariffs is: latex is 10% or 720 yuan/ton, both are low; smoke film and technical classification natural rubber is 20% or 1200 yuan/ton, both are lower.

The Tire World Network learned that most domestic tire manufacturers believe that this policy has a minor impact on companies because tire companies mostly use compound adhesives, and the tariff of compound adhesives is zero. In comparison, the price of imported rubber is still relatively low. High.

In addition, an industry insider's opinion is that the gap between the adjusted taxation and the zero-tariff of compound rubber is still very large. Therefore, companies will still mainly choose to import compounded rubber. For the use of raw rubber, companies mostly rely on export verification and the use of domestic adhesives to reduce costs.

Fourth, tire products no longer implement export commodity inspection AQSIQ and the General Administration of Customs jointly issued a public announcement, announcing that from August 15th this year, no more export goods will be imposed on general industrial manufactured goods under 1507 customs commodity codes. Inspection, including automotive tires, construction machinery tires, motorcycle tires, and bicycle tires.

Many tire companies have taken a positive attitude toward this policy and believe that the elimination of such repetitive inspections has reduced the company's burden and has left many expenses and time for the company.

According to the data of the Tire Branch of the China Rubber Industry Association organized by Tire World Net, Hangzhou Zhongce, Delta Group, and Linglong Tire all exceeded RMB 3 billion in the first half of 2013, which means that in terms of commodity inspection fees alone, The company can save about 4.5 million yuan in half a year, not to mention the routine inspections that the company has to send to the lab every six months, and the inspection personnel reception fees.

Relevant data and business conditions show that the series of related policies issued by the state has indeed played an effective role in regulating the development of the tire industry. But at the same time, some experts also expressed to Tyre World Network that the impact of industry support policies on the development of enterprises will be less and less, because the tire industry is a completely competitive industry, and the leading role of the market is crucial to the development of the company. Therefore, enterprises The sensitivity to market demand should be further increased, and it should not rely solely on the role of policy.
