Czech Checks Asian Market Chinese Goods Or Moves To High-End.

Chinese businessmen doing business in Czech are suffering from troubled times.

On the morning of April 10th, the Czech customs emergency dispatched nearly 300 people and seized the large river market in the 7 District of Prague. It mainly checked the shops run by Asians, and seized a large number of counterfeit trademark clothing, shoes, bags, watches, cell phones and pirated discs. The goods were worth about 200 million kronor (about 85 million yuan), of which goods from China accounted for the majority.

This is the largest time that Czech customs has conducted many fake checks this year.

As early as February 6th this year, the Spring Festival New Year's Eve is also the traditional Mikul festival in Czech (San Nicolas Festival is the most popular festival for Czech people besides Christmas). Brno (Brno, Czech's second largest city) customs went to the Hat large market on the border of Znojm and Austria to carry out the "fake Mikul" campaign.

On the same day, customs officers mainly checked pirated game cards and CD-ROM. confiscated 68 thousand pirated discs, worth 138 million kronor (about 60 million yuan).

In less than two weeks later, the Czech Customs seized three rounds of backfires, blocked the Hat market for two times, confiscated pirated compact discs, clothes and watches, and the value was about 1 million 70 thousand yuan.

Brno customs also checked out the largest Asian market in Brno District, Olomoucka street, confiscating more than 1300 counterfeit brand shoes and clothing, worth 1 million 120 thousand yuan.

At the same time, the Customs Department of the capital Praha (Prague) was not idle. The joint police raided 7 large river market and 4 large SAPA market on February 3rd and 10 respectively. Several stall owners were taken away to ask questions.

According to the Prague customs bulletin, 3 fake counterfeit goods were seized by tens of millions of kronor on the day of the 6 Anti Japanese operation. The Asian alias were accused of illegally using other people's property rights, and a Vietnamese who was excused for resistance checking was detained.

In Czech beer's most famous place of production Plzen (bill), the customs informed that they had spent two consecutive months in the big market of Svat Kateina and Tachov, and searched more than 300 shops, seized a total of 311 million kronor (132 million yuan) of pirated pirated goods, and found several secret warehouses and underground processing plants.

In March 2006, the Czech Customs seized 6 full loaded containers from China and seized 44000 pairs of fake brand-name shoes and 3600 sports uniforms, worth 110 million kronor (about 22 million yuan).

Entering the 2008, the Czech customs began to point clearly, specifically cleaning up the large market concentrated by the Asian merchants, and began to implement the policy of "intensive mopping up".

Why did Czech customs use "chain knife" and "catch the wind" repeatedly?

Behind this, perhaps we can see some clues from ZOJE's bilateral trade.

China is the largest source of trade deficit in Czech. According to figures provided by the business consulate of the Embassy in Czech, Jiefang's total bilateral trade in 2007 was 9 billion 900 million US dollars, up 61.9% over the same period last year.

Among them, the Czech Republic imported from China amounted to US $9 billion 200 million, an increase of 61.1% over the same period last year, and the trade deficit with China was US $8 billion 500 million.

In recent years, clothing, footwear and other textile products account for a large proportion of the goods exported to China by Czech.

In these export commodities, the phenomenon of stealing, leaking customs, "fake brand" and "imitation famous brand" products are common.

As the balance between galaxies is broken, the huge trade deficit is a huge friction.

China's export of cheap products is huge, and it impacts Czech's related industries.

Once the impact is caused, it will take a long time to adjust.

This is also one of the reasons why Czech customs frequently attack.

On the one hand, there is a huge demand market, on the other hand, a manufacturer with huge production capacity. How to adjust the ideal equilibrium state needs the strength from both sides.

Czech is a landlocked country in Central Europe. It is located in the heart of Europe. It is one of the economically developed countries in Eastern Europe. It is a moderately developed country.

2007 is the fastest growing year in Czech since independence in 1993.

Most of the main economic indicators performed well, and GDP grew by 6.6%, the highest in 10 years.

The growth rate of GDP is faster than that of most economic experts. The gap between Czech and the EU's average level of economic development is further narrowed.

Czech's industry is dominated by machine building industry. The development of light textile industry is relatively weak, and a large number of light textile products need to be imported from abroad.

Statistics from the Czech Footwear Association show that Czech produced 5 million 500 thousand pairs of shoes last year, with sales exceeding 2 billion 300 million kroner.

But in 1997, nearly 18 million pairs of shoes were produced in Czech, and the sales of main shoe varieties were about 7 billion 200 million kronor, with 21000 employees.

10 years later, production and sales decreased by 2 / 3, and the number of employees decreased by 4 / 5, with only about 4000 people.

But Czech is the largest clothing market in Eastern Europe with an annual sales volume of US $6 billion 500 million.

Since January 1, 1997, the EU has abolished import tariffs on Czech textiles and has increased the competitiveness of textiles and clothing entering the EU market.

The main source of Czech textile and garment industry comes from China and Vietnam. The reputation of Chinese products in the local market is cheap and the quality is good.

At present, several Chinese companies operating textiles and clothing have established more well-known brands in Czech, and have entered the large supermarket chains in the country.

At present, the per capita income of Eastern European countries is increasing year by year, and the gap with Western Europe is gradually narrowing. Consumers are becoming more and more concerned about the quality of clothing and footwear.

This will undoubtedly point out a way for China's clothing and footwear enterprises to fight in the future: the middle and top grade textile and garment should be exported to the Czech Republic.

In the report issued by the China Council for the promotion of textile industry, China also pointed out that the labor cost of Czech Republic is higher than that of the domestic market. Therefore, domestic enterprises should be located in the middle to high-end market and make full use of the advantages of raw materials to build factories.

On the one hand, it can avoid aggravating trade frictions, and at the same time, the Czech Republic can expand its exports to the European Union and its surrounding countries by using its geographical advantages and reducing the tariff and tax-free access to the EU market.
