The Limited by Share Ltd shoe industry Limited by Share Ltd received a verdict issued by the European Union's high court, and finally ruled that the European Union Primary Court in the case of hearing the anti-dumping against the European Union of AOKANG, the improper use of individual legal provisions, the lack of justice, the final trial to determine the Chinese AOKANG victory.

This indicates that China's AOKANG has not only made administrative and legal disputes, but also has made a plea.

The double victory of anti-dumping.

4 years lawsuit, Chinese shoe enterprises failed in first instance

In October 2006, the EU Commission imposed anti-dumping duties on Chinese leather shoes for the first time, after a series of quota restrictions on Chinese leather shoes, and imposed a 16.5% high anti-dumping duty for two years.

After the expiration of anti-dumping duties, the European Union launched the "sunset review" again, and decided to extend the anti-dumping measures for another 15 months until March 31, 2011.

After the EU put forward the above measures, 5 Chinese shoe companies such as China AOKANG appeal to the EU's lower court.

This case took 4 years, during which 5 enterprises responded to the lawsuit 3 times.

But in April 2010, the European Union's junior court dismissed the lawsuit filed by 5 Chinese shoe companies and announced that China's shoe companies failed in the first instance.

After that, AOKANG decided to appeal to the EU high court.

All 6 years of anti-dumping duties were returned.

In March 31, 2011, the European Union announced that it had abolished 16.5% of the high anti-dumping duty on Chinese leather shoes from April 1st.

This unreasonable trade protection measure, which has lasted for nearly 5 years, has finally come to an end.

But this is only the European Commission's single administrative removal of the anti-dumping trade barriers, and Chinese enterprises have not yet won the final result in the second instance judiciary.

Finally, the court decided that the European Commission's compensation for AOKANG's appeal to the European Union's primary and high court costs would be more than 500 yuan.

Importers and exporters who have trade relations with AOKANG can refund the anti-dumping duties imposed on them for 6 years from the EU concerned.

According to the relevant legal personages, AOKANG's defense against EU anti-dumping has successfully solved the related legal problems in the EU high court, and found relevant legal basis for Chinese shoe enterprises to face anti-dumping trade disputes and other international trade disputes in the future.
