When Can China Break The "Besieged City" Of Chinese Shoe Companies?

As a mass consumer goods, "Chinese shoes" are being redefined by countries all over the world.

On the one hand, Chinese shoes have interpreted their pivotal position on the world stage with their own pace.

On the other hand, Chinese shoes will inevitably affect the world, especially the European and American nerves, and then become chaotic: whether the EU, the United States or Russia, as long as there are Chinese shoes, it seems to mean that the local shoe market has been heavily occupied.

With the deepening of the new wave of economy, the trade volume of China's footwear industry is increasing, and it has also led to strong rebound from these countries or regions until fierce confrontation.

With the wider and deeper participation of Chinese enterprises in international competition, the non-tariff barriers to trade will also increase and the situation is grim.

In order to protect their economic development, countries are "closely guarded".

Non tariff barrier, also known as green trade barrier, has advantages such as its concealment, easy adjustment and easy operation, and the objective of causing contradictions is much smaller than that of tariff barriers. It also has an instant effect on restricting product imports, and is increasingly favored by all trading nations.

Countries in the world, especially developed countries, are increasingly protecting the domestic industry under the banner of maintaining the order of import and export, protecting the interests of domestic consumers, protecting the ecological environment and protecting intellectual property rights.

In the Antidumping of China's footwear industry, a large number of enterprises have adopted the method of acting as a towel, lacking their own brands and single sales channels, thus forming the export of footwear products based on low-end products, mainly adopting the export mode of "quantitative regulation model", and price has become the main competitive segment.

The lower labor cost makes China's footwear products have obvious advantages of manufacturing cost. In the international market, there is a strong competition for some traditional footwear producing countries, leading to frequent trade protection measures in various countries to restrict the import of Chinese footwear products, and China's footwear exports are facing many difficulties.

Antidumping is the primary factor that restricts the export of footwear in China.

The EU is the most restrictive market for Chinese footwear. From 2005, it announced the implementation of "advance import licensing inspection measures" for footwear in China until October 7th, when it imposed a 16.5% anti-dumping duty on Chinese leather shoes.

At the same time, Pakistan, Peru, Venezuela, Canada and other countries have also taken anti-dumping measures on China's footwear products.

Anti dumping has had a serious negative impact on China's footwear exports.

Faced with the "encircled" pain of joining the war group and Russia, the Chinese businessmen who suffer from its "grey customs clearance" will have a reversal of fate with the Russian government's "ban on business orders".

Chinese products and businessmen have encountered raindrop provocations and attacks worldwide, and this is only a microcosm of the survival of Chinese enterprises in the international market.

Chinese enterprises are not only competing with their competitors unilaterally, but are facing an increasingly hostile camp.

After the United States announced that it would levy countervailing duties on Chinese products and put China on the WTO, Japan and Mexico immediately made clear their position to join the US countervailing action against China.

It is reported that the EU side is also considering revising its trade policy toward China, which is likely to change the looser stance on China's "non market economies" on the issue of subsidies.

According to the existing legislation of the European Union, the products imported from third places only require the declaration of origin information when they are declared. Producers are not responsible for adding labels to the products. If the markings are added, they must ensure that the information is correct, so as to protect consumers and competitors from misleading.

However, in the future, the EU will stipulate that all imported textiles and clothing and footwear products must be accompanied by labels of origin.

It is understood that, recently, the European Parliament, EU Member States and the industry have said in a voice that they should stipulate that certain imported products, including textiles and clothing, are marked with origin marks.

As early as September 6, 2005, the European Parliament adopted a Tokia Saifi for the implementation of the mandatory origin of textiles and clothing after 2005 and the label of the name of the manufacturer, so that consumers could obtain the source of the product.

Some EU Member States also strongly support the establishment of the origin label system, which is most intense in Italy.

As early as March this year, the Italian Footwear Association and the European Footwear Association launched a joint campaign in Europe to seek the support of the public for compulsory labeling of footwear from non EU countries.

The purpose of this association is to arouse widespread concern of the public and government in European countries.

It is believed that this will help consumers grasp the origin information of products and avoid misleading, and further prevent infringement of intellectual property rights.

Their position is supported by many politicians.

In Italy, the fact that imported products are accompanied by false labels is quite serious.

According to reports, Italy customs confiscated goods with unreal origin labels every day, most of which were imported from mainland China.

At present, although the EU has failed to enforce the original labeling of imported products, the European Commission may reexamine the original labelling requirements of imported footwear products in view of the increasing demand for further protection of the EU footwear industry. Therefore, it reminds our enterprises to take precautions against it.
