China-based tire makers advised to move to Malaysia: MCCC
China-based tire manufacturers are advised to
cheap nfl jerseys set up operations in Malaysia to avoid the extra
duty imposed on their products when exporting to the United States.
Malaysian-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) Liew Choon Kong made this remark in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday in the interview with Bernama, the country's national news agency.
The United States recently imposed a punitive tariff of 35 percent on

imported by the US.
The practice of trade protectionism by the US has led to strong objection by the China-based tire manufacturers.
According to Liew, tires produced in Malaysia would not be classified as Chinese made, allowing the tire makers to save on taxes if their products
were made in and exported from Malaysia.
Moreover, China bought a lot of rubber from Malaysia for tire production, elaborated Liew.
Liew noted that amidst the current economic situation, the move would create

opportunities for business communities from both countries to collaborate.
He also said local food and beverage producers could tap the large market in China, especially the exports of coffee, a product China found difficult to obtain.
