< /p >

< p > international trade relief measures mainly refer to the trade protection measures permitted by WTO including anti-dumping, minimum price, special safeguard measures and so on.

The following are the specific circumstances of the implementation of trade remedy measures for China's footwear industry by major countries and regions at present: < /p >

< p > < strong > 1. Brazil < /strong > < /p >.

< p > Brazil in December 31, 2008, it launched anti-dumping investigation on < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp > > Chinese shoes < /a >, and made a preliminary decision in September 9, 2009. It decided to impose a provisional anti-dumping duty of $12.47 / double on China's footwear products, with an effective period of 6 months.

Since then, it has decided to extend the anti-dumping investigation period of Chinese footwear products for 6 months since December 31, 2009.

The additional products include footwear products with tax rates ranging from 6402 to 6405, including beach shoes, ski boots, and other sports shoes products (6402.12.00, 6402.20.00, 6403.12.00, 6403.20.00).

In March 2010, Brazil formally imposed anti-dumping duties on footwear products from mainland China, which increased from $12.47 to $13.85 per pair. This measure has been effective since March 4, 2010, and the implementation period will be closed to March 4, 2015 as a continuation of Brazil's anti-dumping duties on Chinese footwear products in 2009.

< /p >

< p > Brazil also implemented "additional tax" relief measures for shoes components originating from China. In July 4, 2012, the Brazil Foreign Trade Commission announced that up to 182% a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/ index_cj.asp" > additional tax "/a" should be levied on footwear semi-finished products and accessories from China.

< /p >

< p > < strong > 2. Argentina < /strong > < /p >.

< p > March 2010, Argentina issued the final anti-dumping decision, decided to set minimum reference price for all footwear products imported from China from March 22nd onwards, and the lowest FOB price per pair of shoes was 13.38 US dollars.

If the price of footwear imported from China to Argentina customs is lower than this standard, tariff will be levied according to the reference price.

The ultimate anti-dumping measure is valid for 5 years and extended to March 2015.

< /p >

< p > < strong > 3. Turkey < /strong > < /p >.

< p > Turkey extended special safeguard measures for footwear products (6402-6404 products) from July 2006 to July 2014.

< /p >

< p > < strong > 4. Mexico < /strong > < /p >.

< p > March 27 and 29, 2012, China and Mexico signed the agreement on China's footwear products between the Ministry of economic affairs of United States of Mexico and China Chamber of Commerce for the import and export of light industrial arts and crafts.

The agreement stipulates that since May 1, 2012, the price of the agreement products of Chinese enterprises on export footwear to Mexico should not be lower than the agreement price. The light industry chamber of Commerce will only endorse and endorse the form invoice or commercial invoice of China's export Mexico footwear agreement products at a price not lower than the price listed in the annex.

China's Mexico footwear agreement products enterprises must submit relevant documents endorsed by light industry and Commerce Association and endorsement when declaring in Mexico.

For multiple port pportation or multiple port declarations at the same port, the original export certification should be produced for the first time, and photocopies of export certification should be produced at the time of subsequent customs declaration.

< /p >

< p > after consultations, the final minimum price level has been reduced to $1.68-32 from the original Mexican side's 5.5-72 US dollar, and the 49 tax number proposed by Mo Fang has been reduced to 31 tax numbers, so that the minimum price is basically close to the average price of China exported to Mexico in 2011.

< /p >

< p > if the agreement is not terminated in advance, it will expire on December 31, 2014.

< /p >

< p > < strong > 5. China Taiwan < /strong > /p >

< p > Taiwan China has made anti-dumping duties on the mainland's footwear manufacturers. The final review is subject to taxation, from March 2007 to December 2014.

< p > < strong > 6. EU < /strong > /p >

< p > December 6, 2012, the European Union made anti-dumping review on the oil tanning leather originating in China: the anti-dumping duty on products imported from China continued to be levied at a rate of 58.9%.

The customs code of the products involved is 4114.10.10 and 4114.10.90.

< /p >

< p > in the introduction process, Zhou Jinmiao highlighted Brazil as a big shoemaking country. In recent years, it has been very strict in controlling the import of shoes from China.

The football World Cup and summer Olympic Games will be held in Brazil one after another. The demand for footwear products will show rapid growth, and enterprises need to pay attention to the relevant restrictive measures.
