Tesla's Shanghai Factory Visit by EU Inspectors Could Benefit Export to EU

2024-07-05 205

EU inspectors visited Tesla's Shanghai factory last week, which could help Tesla receive lower individual import duties on cars exported from China to the EU. Tesla is the leading exporter of EVs from China to the EU and successfully applied for and received individual treatment in the European Commission's anti-subsidy investigation. Receiving an individual duty rate could mean Tesla pays less than the average 21% charged to most Chinese EV makers. Tesla is currently the largest EV exporter from China to the EU.
