• 进口到土耳其的中国汽车将被征收40%的关税。
• 7,000 美元的统一关税将适用于关税低于七千美元的廉价汽车。
• 此举旨在保护土耳其的当地工业，避免恶化该国的贸易平衡。

随着土耳其宣布对中国汽车进口征收40%的关税，针对廉价中国汽车的战争仍在继续。在此之前，美国也征收了类似的关税，美国最近宣布将把中国电动汽车的进口关税从25%提高到100%。

土耳其贸易部表示，此举是为了帮助保护该国的国际收支平衡，并保护当地工业。去年，该国的贸易逆差为452亿美元。

新关税更进一步，针对中国必须提供的最低成本汽车，征收每辆车7000美元的最低关税。例如，如果计算出的 40% 关税价值低于 7,000 美元，则将适用 7,000 美元的最低关税。

自 2023 年以来，电动汽车已经实施了额外的关税，旨在支持 2023 年底推出的 TOGG T10X，这是美国首款国产电动汽车。土耳其的电动汽车项目是总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安在 2023 年大选前的一项关键竞选承诺。https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Togg-T10X-8.jpg

现在已经扩大到包括中国的混合动力汽车和内燃机汽车。这是对中国的最新打击，中国受到一些国家的关税打击，担心中国降价产品的供应过剩源于产能过剩和过度的地方补贴，从而损害了竞争。

继美国和现在的土耳其之后，欧盟本周将公布对中国电动汽车实施的类似限制。然而，欧盟将不得不轻装上阵，因为欧洲汽车制造商不仅担心因依赖中国的销售而受到中国的报复，而且还从中国生产和进口自己的车型。

土耳其的关税将从7月7日开始实施，正如该国官方公报上的总统决定所宣布的那样。https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/BYD-Shark-513-4-1024x576.jpg

Turkey Slaps 40% Import Tariff On Chinese Cars

Turkey is worried about a worsening trade deficit and potential harm to local industry from low-cost Chinese cars

• Chinese cars imported to Turkey will be subject to tariffs of 40 percent.
• A flat duty of $7,000 will be applied to cheaper cars where tariffs amount to less than $7k.
• The move is meant to protect Turkey’s local industry and avoid worsening the nation’s trade balance.

The war against cheap Chinese cars continues as Turkey announces the imposition of a 40 percent duty on Chinese automotive imports. The move follows similar duties applied by the U.S., which recently announced that it would raise import duties on Chinese EVs from 25 percent to 100 percent.

Turkey’s trade ministry said that the move was made to help protect the country’s balance of payments, as well as serving as a protection for local industry. The country’s trade deficit stood at $45.2 billion last year.

The new duties go one step further, targeting the lowest-cost cars that China has to offer by imposing a minimum tariff of $7,000 per vehicle. If, for example, the 40 percent duty calculated is less than $7,000 in value, a minimum duty of $7,000 will be applied.

Additional tariffs have already been in place for electric cars since 2023, designed to support the introduction of the TOGG T10X in late 2023, the nation’s first domestically manufactured electric car. Turkey’s electric car project was a key campaign pledge for President Recep Tayyip Erdoan before the 2023 general elections.

The net has now been expanded to include Chinese hybrid and combustion vehicles. It’s the latest blow for China, which has been hit with tariffs from several countries worried that an oversupply of cut-price Chinese products stems from excess capacity and excessive local subsidies, harming competition.

Following the U.S. and now Turkey, the European Union is set to reveal similar restrictions imposed on Chinese EVs this week. However, the EU will have to tread lightly, as European automakers are not only fearful of retribution from China due to their reliance on sales in the country but also manufacture and import their own models from China.

Turkey’s duties will be applied from July 7, as announced by a presidential decision in the country’s official gazette.
