Russian Enterprises Urge The Government To Substantially Increase Import Tariffs On Finished Products

According to the Russian customs network, a few days ago, the Russian leather and footwear industry union issued an open letter to Russian Prime Minister Putin, asking the government to increase import tariffs on all kinds of finished shoes from 10% to 25%. According to Alexander, chairman of the Russian leather and footwear industry alliance, the finished products in the Russian market are mainly from China, whose import prices are generally 10-14 US dollars / pairs, and the retail price of the market is generally 50-400 dollars. At present, 10% of import tariffs will completely eliminate the business risks of importers. At present, the market size of finished shoes is 100-120 billion US dollars. Since 2005, the market share of Russian domestic shoes has dropped from 19% to about 10%, and the measures to increase tariffs will increase the output and sales volume of domestic finished shoes.
