Clothing Industry Bypass &Nbsp; How To Focus On Origin Of New Trade Barriers (2)

The premise of differential treatment

In international trade, due to the different treatment of tariff and other trade measures, the origin of products is an important basis for deciding whether or not they can enjoy certain tariff treatment. Especially in countries that adopt trade measures such as import and export quotas, anti-dumping, countervailing measures and trade sanctions, only by accurately judging the origin of goods, the trade measures they take can play a role.

To protect the manufacture of Italy, perhaps we can interpret it as "protecting the Italy industry". For the relevant imported products manufactured in Italy, after attributing to the origin of our country, we will undoubtedly lose the high exemption from Italy. The EU's label system of clothing country of origin will also make the products of some developing countries face the same situation. From the perspective of appearance, these imported products may lose a group of consumers who have a high degree of loyalty to local products. The deeper meaning is that such products, such as the finishing part only, are completed in Italy. Fabric Products, once deprived of the "Italy manufacturing" right of signature, will again occupy Italy's quota restrictions on the origin of these products, thereby affecting the export situation of the country, and even bilateral trade statistics between the two countries.

Rules of origin are the precondition for different countries to implement differential treatment, especially in taking Anti-dumping When determining the "economic nationality" of the product, it is not only convenient for its targeted implementation, but also in the process of anti-dumping, countries try to use different rules of origin to achieve the purpose of anti circumvention. China's current rules of origin are relatively low in determining the "economic nationality" of our export products. Many foreign products are therefore covered with "made in China" clothes and sold in the international market in the name of Chinese products. When the product is dumping on other countries, China has become the object of anti-dumping and the victim of trade disputes.

Bypass barriers have a way to follow.

In the economy Globalization With the accelerated development of regional economic integration, the rule of origin is becoming more and more important in the field of international trade. Despite such an era dominated by importing powers, they restrict the influx of textiles and clothing in a large number of developing countries through various kinds of trade protection measures. However, we can still guarantee the share of export market in some ways and avoid trade barriers.

The start of the China ASEAN Free Trade Area has opened another window for export enterprises, and the rules of origin of the free trade area are based on the "value-added standard". According to the agreement on trade in goods between the China ASEAN Free Trade Area, if the local processing value of a product is not less than 40% of the total value of the product, the product can be regarded as a product originating from China ASEAN Free Trade Area, enjoying preferential tariff treatment in the import and export trade.

That is to say, as long as a product is located in a free trade area and is not limited to a free trade area, the value of the raw material exceeds 40% of the total value, so it can be regarded as the original product of the China ASEAN Free Trade Area. China's textile export enterprises can make use of the advantages of low cost of labor in Bangladesh and Vietnam to launch processing trade in ASEAN. Some local sales, some of which are exported to the European Union and other countries in these areas, make effective use of the "regional origin accumulation" provisions of these developed countries and enjoy preferential treatment.

In addition to vigorously developing overseas processing trade, improving export commodity structure, implementing market diversification strategy and reducing dependence on European and American markets will also reduce the risk of China's textile and clothing export. In addition, strengthening the understanding and research of rules of origin in developed countries should also become a compulsory course for export enterprises in China.
