EU finally cancels leather shoes for China

Export cost reduction

According to the latest news from the Ministry of Commerce, the European Commission issued a notice announcing that the anti-dumping measures against leather shoes imported from China, Vietnam and Macao, China will be terminated in March 31st this year.

"This is definitely a good thing for the shoe industry in Dongguan."

Yesterday, a number of shoe companies interviewed by reporters in Nandu did not think so.

Because of this anti-dumping duty, the export cost of enterprises has increased substantially, and the competitiveness of enterprises such as Brazil and other countries which have not been levying anti-dumping duties has been greatly reduced.

Many enterprises have to abandon the EU market or reduce the proportion.

The head of Dongguan Huajian group said that before the anti-dumping duty, Huajian exported to the European Union accounted for 2 of the export proportion of the enterprises.

Since then, the proportion of exports to the EU is less than 1.

"Because of the anti-dumping duty, we have not made the EU order of US $about 2000000 a year."

Some companies are starting to focus on EU orders.

With the cancellation of anti-dumping duties, the cost of exporting leather shoes to the European Union has been greatly reduced, and some enterprises have begun to calculate the European Union's orders.

Li Lianqing, assistant general manager of Dongguan Mei Hua shoe industry Co., Ltd., said that although the current export of Dongguan shoes is mainly the United States, but these two days, when chatting with colleagues, everyone has begun to talk about the future to pick up more foreign orders.

But many companies said they had no plans.

"It depends on opportunity."

Qi Yaochang, chairman of Dongguan Yin Sheng footwear industry, said that the company has been exporting to the EU market less, and will not deliberately change its export strategy because of the cancellation of anti-dumping duties.

The products of the oasis footwear industry are also mainly exported to the US market. Jiang Jianzhong, general manager of the company, said, "there is no plan to increase exports to the EU."

He explained that the company's customers are mainly in the United States, relatively fixed, will not change at any time, and contact with new customers, it takes time to understand habits and running in.

Li Lianqing believes that the EU's abolition of anti-dumping duties will give enterprises more choice in the export market, but the volume of exports will not grow very fast. This is a gradual process.

Viewpoint

The crisis has not been lifted.

While announcing the lifting of anti-dumping duties, the European Union said it would continue to monitor leather shoes imported from China.

We will continue to investigate 5 aspects, including the number of imported leather shoes from China, mandatory origin labels, intellectual property rights and China's export policy.

Wei Yafei, director of the shoe making office of China Leather Association, said that although the EU had abolished the levy, the crisis had not been lifted. If the situation needs, the appropriate measures will be taken quickly.

He reminded Chinese shoe companies to seriously study the EU's laws and regulations on leather shoes exports and strengthen cooperation and communication with the EU footwear industry.

Chen Dan, a veteran footwear industry in Dongguan, believes that although the anti-dumping duty has been abolished, the pressure on enterprises is mainly from the living environment, such as the rising cost of labor and raw materials, and Vietnam, Brazil and other countries are gradually developing.

In the face of such a background, Dongguan enterprises either shift the production base or enhance the quality and competitiveness of the enterprises.
