Chongqing shoe export orders

"We have more than 2000 factories in Bishan, Chongqing, and are working overtime now."

It is understood that at present, only the volume of European Union orders received by AOKANG in Chongqing factory has increased by 20% over the same period.

Yesterday, reporters learned from the Bishan County Economic and foreign trade commission that as the shoe city of Western China, Bishan's leather shoes production capacity has always been ranked first in the city. In the 1~3 month of this year, the export volume of western shoes to the European and American markets amounted to US $9 million 717 thousand and 300, an increase of over 61% over the same period last year, and the growth rate of export is far higher than that of other industries.

Wu Guangyun, executive vice president of Bishan Footwear Association, said that according to preliminary statistics, the new EU orders held by the shoe manufacturers in the shoes market increased by 80% compared with last year.

In addition to AOKANG's enterprises in Chongqing, the main products of the European Union are Jin Hao leather shoes factory, France and La gas Shoes Co., Ltd., Shuai Mei shoes company, and Guanzhong shoes industry Co., Ltd.

Enterprises should avoid price wars.

Jiang Zhaoyi, director of Jin Hao leather shoes, revealed that in order to secure more overseas orders, they invested more than ten million yuan to expand their production capacity at the end of last year, and the new production line was put into use early this year.

In the interview process, a number of shoe enterprises executives told reporters that they are optimistic about the future market of the EU.

In addition to Chongqing, Wenzhou, Guangzhou and other European origin orders for leather shoes also increased.

According to information from AOKANG import and Export Corporation, the group's largest customer GEOX, the first quarter of this year, has increased by about 70% year-on-year. Two days ago, nearly twenty thousand pairs of leather shoes and cabinets were sent to the European Union.

"European orders are flying like snowflakes."

Xie Rongfang, Secretary General of Wenzhou shoe leather industry association, said that the export volume of leather shoes in Wenzhou is expected to grow steadily by 10% to 20% this year.

"Although the EU has cancelled anti-dumping duties on leather shoes against China, the EU is also seeking new protective measures, so shoe companies should pay attention to it."

AOKANG import and export company, a person in charge who does not want to be named, said.

In view of the concerns of enterprises, Wei Ya Fei, director of the shoe making office of China Leather Association, reminds Chinese shoe enterprises. On the one hand, we should make good preparations for thinking, rationally treat the EU's decision to temporarily cancel anti-dumping duties; on the other hand, the association also requires enterprises to improve their own product quality, enhance brand value added, avoid price wars, and achieve steady growth in export volume and export prices.

News background

In May 2006, the EU imposed a 16.5% anti-dumping duty on leather shoes originating in China, with a period of two years.

By the end of 2008, when the anti-dumping duty was expired, it entered the sunset review (that is, no change of measures, only to decide whether to "maintain" or "Cancel"). The 7 shoe enterprises in Huajian shoes and Zhejiang AOKANG in Dongguan were excluded and entered the written defense procedure.

In December 2009, the European Commission again ruled that the anti-dumping duty would be extended for 15 months until March 2011.

Since April 1, 2011, the EU has temporarily cancelled trade barriers against anti-dumping duties on leather shoes in China.
