China'S Copper Pipe Was Sanctioned By &Nbsp, And Most Domestic Enterprises Could Not Digest It.

The two decisions were issued by the US Department of Commerce for Chinese copper pipes.

"It is acceptable to get such a result."

28, a Ministry of Commerce told our reporter.

According to its disclosure, in May 2010, after being informed that the United States would initiate anti-dumping investigations on Chinese copper pipes, the Ministry of Commerce sent a Commissioner to take charge of the incident and coordinate relevant associations to organize enterprises to respond to the case, so as to strive for the best results.

In the end, "the result of the Levy of anti-dumping duty is certainly not good. However, according to general experience, there is not much result in obtaining zero anti-dumping duty in such anti-dumping investigations, and the preparation for this complaint is more complete and achieves a more realistic result".

"Most of the copper companies exporting to the US may have to say goodbye to the US market for a while."

On the same day, Ma Shiguang, executive vice president and Secretary General of the China nonferrous metal processing industry association, said in an interview with our reporter that due to limited profits, most of the domestic copper tube enterprises could not digest the increased tariff rate after being sanctioned, and may be forced to stop exporting to the United States.

As the largest copper tube manufacturer in China, Henan Jinlong Copper pipe received the lowest 11.25% anti-dumping duty through active complaints, but Jinlong Copper Pipe said "it is still difficult to accept".

According to Li Changjie, chairman of Jinlong Copper Tube, the copper tube industry adopts the mode of processing fees, and the rate of anti-dumping levy is based on the standard of "copper plus processing fee". The tax rate of 10% is equivalent to 50% to 100% of the processing fee.

"Copper pipe should be the most competitive product of China's copper processing industry."

Ma Shiguang said that benefiting from the development of the domestic household electrical appliance industry, China's copper tube industry has formed a strong competitive power. Before the financial crisis, about 9% copper pipe products were exported in the whole country, most of which were supplied to the United States.

After the financial crisis, the export of Chinese copper tubes rapidly recovered, and now accounts for 5% of the total copper output in China.

For the impact of the sanctions, Ma Shiguang also said, "there is an impact, but not a major blow."

In his view, at present, domestic copper consumption has increased by two digits, and the export disruption will not have a significant impact on the domestic copper tube industry. "Some enterprises that have been making processing exports may be greatly affected".

However, he also pointed out that "export to domestic sales may lead to intensified domestic competition".

"There are more and more international trade frictions."

Ma Shiguang said that with the deterioration of international trade environment in recent years, domestic non-ferrous metal processing enterprises should respond well.

In October 2010 alone, the US International Trade Commission has made three adverse decisions on China's US coated art paper, China's cast iron casting products and seamless pipeline.

The former Ministry of commerce also said that Chinese enterprises have just been in touch with trade friction. "This is a very professional field. Chinese enterprises are obviously not professional enough." in the field of anti-dumping, "Chinese enterprises are still in the initial stage".

For example, we should pay attention to early-warning information. When trade associations or other organizations issue anti-dumping warning information, they should make appropriate adjustments in the price of shipment and shipment, or when they increase their shipments in a certain market, we should be vigilant against the other party's initiation of dumping proceedings.

In addition, more exchanges with destinations, especially with the competitors in the target market, to eliminate misunderstanding, "of course, it is better to get recognition of China's market economy status, but in a short time, this is not realistic."

In order to cope with more and more trade conflicts, many Chinese enterprises have begun to invest in overseas factories.

A Zhejiang copper tube manufacturer who set up a factory in Tai Chung Luo Yong Industrial Park, Thailand, told reporters that it was the factory that was launched by the United States during the anti-dumping period of copper pipe. Due to the time lag, it could only be partially processed in Thailand.

And after the trade barrier is removed, "business is very good and accelerating expansion."
