CHINESE electric vehicle makers BYD, Geely and SAIC have challenged the EU's import tariffs at the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), reports Reuters.
The EU imposed tariffs on China-made EVs at the end of October after an anti-subsidy investigation, including 17 per cent for BYD, 18.8 per cent for Geely and 35.3 per cent for SAIC, on top of the EU's standard car import duty of 10 per cent.
Court filings show all three lodged their complaints at the General Court, the lower of two CJEU chambers, a day before the deadline for filing challenges. Proceedings at the General Court last on average 18 months and can be appealed.
The china Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (CCCME), an industry body that has represented Chinese EV producers, also filed a complaint, said the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to the EU (CCCEU).
