Facing The Trade Protection &Nbsp; Spinning Enterprises To Improve Their Internal Strength And Actively Cope With Them.

Since 2010, there have been 11 cases of anti-dumping cases against textiles and clothing exported to China. Although there is no sharp increase in the number of cases registered this year, compared with last year's aggressive situation, according to past experience, all kinds of trade protection measures will increase significantly in the second half of the year. We must not take it lightly. At the beginning of the year, the US Department of Commerce announced the preliminary results of the dumping investigation on the narrow band of anti dumping and countervailing investigation of China's narrow band. Yao Ming's weaving belt ruled that there was no dumping and no anti-dumping duty because of the positive action. This brings us inspiration.

According to customs Express data In 2010 1~4, exports of textiles and clothing reached US $53 billion 790 million, an increase of 15.55% over the same period last year. Among them, clothing and accessories exported 32 billion 190 million US dollars, an increase of 9.5%; textile yarn, fabrics and products exported US $21 billion 600 million, an increase of 26.1%. In April, exports of textiles and clothing reached US $14 billion 544 million, an increase of 16.42% over the same period last year. Among them, exports of textile yarns, fabrics and products reached US $6 billion 393 million, up 24.84% over the same period last year, and exports of clothing and accessories reached US $8 billion 151 million, up 10.57% over the same period last year.

While exports are steadily recovering, China's textile and garment industries are also experiencing rising protectionist measures. Especially in 2009, the global trade protectionism cases against China's textile and clothing export products reached a record high. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Commerce, there are 45 cases of textile and clothing anti-dumping related to China since 2009. Mainly in industrial textiles, chemical fiber, home textiles and other industries, including products including polyester staple fiber (Chang Si), viscose fiber, curtains, cord fabrics, ribbon and so on. From the national and regional perspective, the number of countries filing the most anti-dumping cases against textiles and clothing in China in 2009 was 9 in India, 8 in Argentina, 5 in Turkey, the United States, Brazil and Pakistan, 2 in Peru and South Africa, and 1 in Ukraine, the European Union and South Korea.

Since 2010, 11 cases of anti-dumping cases against textiles and clothing exported to China have dropped slightly over the same period last year. The number of cases registered is mainly in developed countries in Europe and America, including 4 in the United States, 3 in the European Union, 2 in Turkey, and 1 in Mexico and Argentina. The main products include suit suit, denim, synthetic fiber blanket and so on.

Although there is no sharp increase in the number of registered cases this year compared with the aggressive situation last year, according to past experience, all kinds of trade protection measures will increase significantly in the second half of this year. Under the current global economic situation of uncertainty, in the new round of adjustment of the world industrial structure, the development of the situation of trade protection is uncertain. We must not take it lightly.

Actively respond to market share

As one of the policy trade protective measures (anti-dumping, countervailing and special safeguard measures), anti-dumping is restricting the entry of other countries into the market and threatening their related industries in the form and means of law. For some countries in order to protect the interests of their own enterprises and ignore the trade protection measures adopted by international trade rules, we must take corresponding measures to resolutely fight back. Chinese textile and garment enterprises have successful cases in this respect, that is, Yao Ming's double webbing case.

In February 6, 2010, the US Department of Commerce announced the preliminary results of the dumping investigation of a narrow ribbon weaving anti-dumping countervailing investigation in China. There are 15 involved enterprises in China. Among them, Yao Ming weaving belt and Zhangzhou Changtai Rong Shu Textile Co., Ltd. were selected by the United States as compulsory countervailing countervailing investigation enterprises, and together with Ningbo Jintian Trade Co., Ltd. were selected as compulsory anti-dumping investigation enterprises. As a result of the preliminary ruling, Yao Ming did not dump his belt and did not impose punitive dumping duties. The other was sentenced to 231.40% punitive duty because he did not sue. 13 enterprises with an average tax rate were awarded a 115.70% tax rate. Because of the insistence of Yao Ming's weaving belt, he finally got the "double anti" zero tax rate. The final outcome of this case is about to be announced. Once the tariffs on ribbon industry exceed 30%, prices will rise, and American customers will not be able to accept them. This means that apart from the fact that Yao Ming ribbon can continue to enter the US market, the ribbon of other enterprises is all blocked by the high tax rate.

The process of responding is rather difficult and heavy. In order to prove his innocence, we must fill out a large number of questionnaires in the United States and provide relevant information. From the order, form invoice, commercial invoice, packing list, factory list, bill of lading, customs declaration form of the two customs of China and the United States, and even the correspondence between the company and the customer, etc. A lot of data to check one by one, the work is very tedious, and can not have any flash, otherwise the effort will be abandoned. When the results of the preliminary ruling were announced, Yao Ming's ribbon had already spent about 2000000 yuan on the lawsuit, which is not a small expense for an enterprise whose annual sales volume is only 100 million yuan.

Successful cases bring us inspiration. When Chinese enterprises are subjected to trade protection measures from the international market, they must unite and take the weapons of the law and firmly respond to them, which is the only way out of the predicament. Giving up litigation means giving up the market.

In fact, whether the Chinese enterprises are actively responding to the lawsuit and the result of the lawsuit will have demonstrative effects on other countries.

Joint breakthrough of government and enterprises easy protect

Facing the increasing trade friction and trade protectionism act, how to deal with enterprises and relevant departments has become an important and urgent topic. For a long time, the enthusiasm and initiative of Chinese enterprises to deal with anti-dumping and countervailing investigations are not enough, and they can only be passively beaten. In the face of trade protection measures such as anti-dumping and countervailing measures, enterprises should not only sue, but also sue, because only in this way can enterprises protect the market and keep the brand.

How can we avoid double investigation and how to deal with it?

Yes textile For garment exporting enterprises, first of all, we should avoid exporting large quantities of products to the same country in a short time at a lower price. Secondly, enterprises should collect international market information in time, pay close attention to the dynamics of the corresponding industries in the importing countries, make reasonable pricing according to the situation, and make necessary adjustments to the export quantity and price at any time. Third, we should further strengthen publicity and education on anti-dumping laws, procedures and common sense, and strengthen research in this field and the cultivation of professionals.

For the government, associations and other relevant departments, first of all, we must clearly stand our position and resolutely oppose any form of trade protectionism. Secondly, we should resolve trade frictions through inter industry dialogue and consultation, establish early warning mechanisms, and strengthen strategies for monitoring sensitive products and timely adjusting exports so as to prevent them from happening.

Trade protection has made China's textile and garment export enterprises in an unfair market environment in international competition. There is no way out for rapid development at the expense of resources and environment. In short, the whole industry should speed up structural adjustment and industrial upgrading, enhance the core competitiveness of the industry, transform from "manufacturing power" to "creating a big power", adjust from extensive economy to energy saving, low carbon and green environmental protection, enhance the ability to resist risks, and strive to break through the barrier of trade protection.
