Guangdong Shoe Companies Join Hands In Responding To EU Anti-Dumping

EU anti-dumping measures against Chinese leather shoes expired yesterday, but with the launch of the EU review process, Chinese leather shoes are facing a high anti-dumping duty of at least 1 years in 16.5% years.

Chinese shoe companies have said they will join hands again.

Continue to levy anti-dumping duties

The European Commission announced on the 2 day that the anti-dumping duty measures for the production of leather shoes in these two countries will be temporarily maintained as a result of the initiation of anti-dumping review procedures for leather shoes in China and Vietnam.

This means that the EU's 16.5% year anti-dumping duty on leather shoes and children's shoes imported from China in 2006 will be extended for another 12 to 15 months.

Yesterday, the chairman of Wan Bang footwear industry and the Secretary General of the Guangdong European Union shoe antidumping alliance, Guo Weiwen, told reporters that enterprises will definitely respond to lawsuits. In the next two days, we will have a meeting to study the countermeasures.

In the anti-dumping rulings two years ago, the Wenzhou shoe making enterprises that took the lead in the European Union appealed to the EU.

The group also said that it is actively preparing materials and preparing to defer again.

It is reported that China's respondent shoe enterprises should submit a sampling questionnaire within 15 days and submit a questionnaire response within 40 days.

Individual enterprises can also apply to the European Union to examine whether their tax rates are appropriate.

According to the survey, the EU will decide whether to continue to maintain anti-dumping duties, which will normally last 12 months to 15 months, and continue to levy anti-dumping duties during the period. However, the European Union has indicated that it will shorten the investigation time as much as possible.

Guangdong has convened a meeting of shoe companies

According to the data of China Chamber of Commerce for import and export of light industrial arts and crafts, in July this year, China's footwear exports to the EU decreased significantly, while the unit price increased significantly.

1~7 months, footwear exports 940 million pairs, an increase of 7.57% over the same period, an increase of 9.3 percentage points, an increase of 3 billion 200 million dollars, an increase of 14.15%, an increase of 5.6 percentage points, and a flat price of 3.41 US dollars / double, an increase of 6.23% over the previous year, an increase of 4 percentage points.

Wenzhou and Guangdong are China's two largest export bases for shoes, and are also the most injured in the EU's two-year anti-dumping measures.

Chen Lipeng, director of the import and Export Fair Trade Bureau of Guangdong foreign trade and Economic Cooperation Department, also said that the shoe companies have recently convened a meeting to inform the situation. In a few days, they will also hold a meeting with the enterprises concerned to discuss how to deal with the EU's launching of the reexamination.
