On January 12, 2009, the Peruvian authorities decided, after having conducted an expiry review, to continue the anti-dumping duty on imports of tires for cars, vans and trucks from China (Resolution No. 004-2009/CFD-INDECOPI, 12.01.2009).
 
The products subject to the duty are classified under the following HS codes: 4011.1000 and 4011.2000. The amount of the duty depends on the HS classification of the good, on the size of the tire and on the declared FOB price. For details, see Article 1 of the Resolution. This definitive anti-dumping duty entered into force on the day of the publication of the resolution in the Official Journal El Peruano, i.e. on January 17, 2009, and is applicable for a period of three years.
 
This duty follows an expiry review requested on March 12, 2007 by Lima Caucho. A review was then initiated by the Peruvian National Institute of Antitrust and Intellectual Property Protection (Indecopi) on July 12, 2007 (Resolution No. 057-2007/CDS-INDECOPI, 12.07.2007). The review started on the day of the publication of the resolution in the Official Journal El Peruano, i.e. on July 19, 2007.
 
The original anti-dumping duty imposed on tires for cars, vans and trucks from China was decided on April 25, 2002 (Resolution No. 019-2002/CDS-INDECOPI, 25.04.2002) and entered into force on May 9, 2002.
 
On January 3, 2012, the Peruvian authorities decided to remove the anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of tires for cars, vans and trucks from China (Resolution No. 005-2012/CFD-INDECOPI, 25.04.2002). This decision entered into force on January 18, 2012. This resolution was published in the Official Journal El Peruano on January 11, 2012.
