Brazil Will Cancel Anti-Dumping Charges Against Export Of Its Shoes.

Indonesian shoe manufacturers can breathe a sigh of relief, because Brazil will cancel it.

The antidumping evasion accusations.

Ai Nawal Siti, director of trade safety at the Ministry of trade, said (Ernawati)

The final decision on investigating Decom under the jurisdiction of the governing body has not yet been released, but the fact report after the Decom field verification in April indicated that 5 shoe companies in China did not evade anti-dumping activities.

"Although there is no indication of dumping activities, the fact report is a very important basis for final decision."

She expects that Decom will make a formal decision 2 months later. The footwear industry and the trade security bureau have explained to the government of Brazil that the shoe industry in China has a history of 15 years. The favorable trade atmosphere has led to the establishment of brand-name shoe manufacturers such as Adidas (Adidas) and Nike (Nike) in China. However, some raw materials such as leather and sole can not be supplied at home, and must be imported from countries including China.

"It is not because China is subject to anti-dumping duties, and then China suddenly set up a shoe factory."

Since last October, Indonesia has been accused of circumvention, becoming an intermediary producer of shoes produced in China, and then exported to Brazil. Since March 2010, Brazil has made $13.85 a pair of Chinese shoe products.

Import duty.

For Brazil, Indonesia is the third largest importer of shoes after China and Vietnam. Last year, it imported $97 million 950 thousand or accounted for 19.87% of the total imports and exports of Brazil shoes, which increased from 26 million 600 thousand in 2009 and 64 million 660 thousand US dollars in 2010.

For Indonesia, Brazil is the tenth country to export its shoes, which accounted for 2.8% of Indonesia's total exports of 3 billion 300 million dollars last year.

Binsar Marpaung, Secretary General of the Indonesian Footwear Association, said that the association had already explained the allegations in Brazil the other day.
