Has The EU Continued Its 5 Year Anti-Dumping Duty On Chinese Leather Shoes?

EU officially abolished 16.5% of China's leather shoes.

Anti-dumping

Tax.

Since 2006, the EU has imposed a high anti-dumping duty on Chinese footwear enterprises. After the expiration of anti-dumping duties, the European Union launched a review again in 2008, and decided to extend the anti-dumping measures for another 15 months until March 31, 2011.

Yesterday, some of the EU's shoe manufacturers interviewed yesterday told reporters that as the case finally ended, orders had been growing rapidly, and a group of giants such as Nike increased their shoes orders to the EU shoe market, believing that China's leather shoes will usher in a new round of youth.

Wu Zhenchang, the chairman of the European Union's anti dumping alliance against leather products in China and chairman of Guangzhou Chuangxin shoes industry, said that customers were delighted after hearing the news, and customers such as Nike began to increase orders for the EU market to enterprises.

Wu Zhenchang said that the cost of shoemaking in China was higher than that in Southeast Asia, plus 16.5% anti-dumping duties. Some customers could not accept a substantial increase in the cost of procurement in China. In the past few years, some of the orders have been pferred to Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia.

After years of efforts by the Chinese government and enterprises, and the cooperation of the European Union customers, the anti-dumping duty has been finally knocked out, to a certain extent, to reduce the cost pressure of the EU buyers and enhance the Chinese shoes.

European Union

Market competitiveness.

However, because of the increasing cost of raw materials and labor, the price of export shoes has been rising.

It is difficult for Chinese shoe companies to compete at low prices.

Wu Zhenchang said.

Footwear trade is the most controversial between China and the European Union.

Trade

One of the problems.

Guo Weiwen, Secretary General of China's anti dumping Union, told the Nanfang Daily reporter that over the past four years, high anti-dumping duties on Chinese shoe companies have not only increased the production costs of multinational shoe companies in China, but also made the road of Chinese enterprises exporting to the EU rugged, and EU consumers are the biggest losers.

Wang Zhentao, vice chairman of the China Leather Association, chairman of AOKANG footwear industry, told the footwear industry that the cancellation of anti-dumping duties is a "burden reduction" for Chinese export enterprises, but should not be blindly optimistic, and should focus on the future of China's footwear industry.

We must be self reliant, improve product development and brand value added, and create multiple markets.
