China’s Ministry of Commerce said on Wednesday that it “does not agree with or accept” the EU’s decision to proceed with extra duties on the EVs after the conclusion of an anti-subsidy probe that began last year.
A final ruling published by the European Commission on Tuesday stated that a top rate of 35.3 per cent would apply to EVs from Chinese state-owned company SAIC Motor and its subsidiaries, in addition to a baseline 10 per cent duty that applies to all EV imports.
Major Chinese carmakers BYD and Geely were set to face extra duties of 17 per cent and 18.8 per cent respectively. The extra tariffs were to take effect as early as Wednesday and would last for five years.
The ministry said China advocated resolving trade conflicts through dialogue, adding that it was conducting a “new phase of consultations” with the European bloc.
