The European Union has imposed a "period" on anti-dumping duties on Chinese shoes for five years

The EU officially canceled a high anti-dumping duty of 16.5% on Chinese leather shoes. Since 2006, the European Union formally imposed a high anti-dumping tariff on Chinese shoe companies. After the expiry of anti-dumping taxation, the EU relaunched a review in 2008 and decided to extend anti-dumping measures for another 15 months until March 31, 2011.

Some of the exporting EU shoe companies interviewed yesterday told reporters that due to the finalization of the case, the recent orders have grown rapidly. Nike and a number of giants have increased the orders of the European Union's leather shoes to Chinese shoe companies. I believe that China's leather shoes will usher in new ones. A period of puberty.

“Wu Zhenchang, the initiator of EU anti-dumping coalition on leather shoes products” and chairman of Guangzhou Genxin Shoes Co., Ltd., said that customers are very happy after they know the news, and that Nike and other customers began to increase their orders in the EU market. Wu Zhenchang stated that the cost of shoemaking in China was originally higher than in Southeast Asia, plus anti-dumping duties of 16.5%, and some customers could not accept a substantial increase in Chinese procurement costs. In recent years, some orders have been transferred to Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia. After several years of efforts by the Chinese government and enterprises, as well as the cooperation of EU customers, anti-dumping duties have finally been eliminated, to some extent to reduce the cost pressure of EU buyers, and to increase the competitiveness of Chinese shoes in the EU market.

However, "since the current cost of raw materials, labor, etc. are increasing, the price of export shoes has also been rising. Chinese shoe companies have been difficult to compete at low prices." Wu Zhenchang said.

The footwear trade is one of the most controversial trade issues between China and the EU. Guo Weiwen, secretary-general of China Anti-Dumping Anti-Dumping Federation, told the Nanfang Daily reporter that the high anti-dumping duties levied on shoe companies in China for more than four years not only increased the production costs of multinational shoe companies in China, but also made the way for Chinese enterprises to export to the European Union. Rugged, EU consumers are the biggest losers.

Wang Zhenyu, vice president of China Leather Association and chairman of Aokang Shoes Industry, warned peers in the footwear industry that the cancellation of anti-dumping duties is a "lightening burden" on Chinese exporters, but should not be blindly optimistic and should focus on the future of China's footwear industry. To be self-reliance, increase product development and brand value, and open up diversified markets.
