Antidumping Nylon

  

In April 23rd this year, the Ministry of Commerce carried out the import of caprolactam (CPL) originating in the European Union and the United States.

Anti-dumping

Initiate an investigation.

After filing the case, domestic nylon slicing and filament production enterprises feel that the plight of survival is aggravating.


In the past 10 years, the nylon industry in the textile industry has developed rapidly, and its output has been growing at an average annual rate of 14%.

In 2009, the total output of nylon was 1 million 370 thousand tons (of which nylon 1 million 160 thousand was 1 million 160 thousand tons), and consumption was 1 million 630 thousand tons (of which nylon 6 was 1 million 410 thousand tons), accounting for 40% to 45% of the world's total. China has become the largest producer and consumer of nylon in the world.

The development of nylon industry is of great significance for the construction of textile power during the period of 12th Five-Year and the end of 12th Five-Year.


The self sufficiency rate of CPL in China has been maintained at about 35% for a long time, and 65% has been dependent on imports.

In 2009, domestic CPL output was 330 thousand and 600 tons, imported 601 thousand and 300 tons, and import dependency reached 64.6%. Moreover, there are still some gaps between domestic CPL and European and American products in terms of premium rate, quality stability, impurity content and so on, and it can not meet the production needs of domestic high-end products.

Therefore, the current CPL import policy is very important for the operation and development of the nylon industry.


At present, the domestic nylon industry chain profit has obviously concentrated on the upstream CPL production enterprises.

Since March 2009, domestic CPL prices have continued to rise, and the annual increase is as high as 76.7%, which is much higher than the annual increase of 57.4% and 35% to 48% of slicing and 57.4% CPL of domestic enterprises.

In March this year, for example, the spot price of benzene in China is 7300 yuan / ton to 7500 yuan / ton, and the factory price of CPL is 20900 yuan / ton, and the net profit of CPL per ton is about 4000 yuan.

Sale

The profit rate reached 19.1%, while the slice profit rate was 0.87% and the filament profit margin was 0.35%.

If the anti-dumping duties are added again, a large number of nylon slicing and filament enterprises will suffer losses and failures.


From June 2003 to June 2008, the Ministry of Commerce levying anti-dumping duties ranging from 5% to 28% of CPL imported from Japan, Belgium, Germany, Holland and Russia, raising the cost of domestic nylon production, and ending the anti dumping measures of nylon filament to Taiwan.

Taiwan uses this favorable opportunity to rapidly expand production capacity of 320 thousand tons.

Even if the provisional anti-dumping duty was imposed on nylon 6 slices imported from Taiwan in October 2009, the anti-dumping duty was formally imposed in April this year (4% to 4.3%). This year, Taiwan still has 100 thousand tons of slicing capacity, indicating that its cost advantage still exists.


Although the country has imposed a provisional tariff rate of 7% on imported CPL this year against the background of the financial crisis, the production cost of homemade nylon chips is still higher than that of Taiwan's 18.05%.

According to the CPL average price in the first half of this year, the cost of mainland slicing is 3141 yuan / ton higher than that of Taiwan.

If the anti-dumping duty is to be introduced again, the mainland slicing industry will continue to expand the cost of raw material tariffs and increase the price of domestic CPL on the one hand. On the other hand, it will also face the slicing of Taiwan slicing.

Domestic CPL production enterprises will eventually be affected.


Restart this time

CPL

Anti dumping aggravates the import tariffs of CPL and slicing and filament, which will seriously damage the healthy development of domestic nylon industry, and will also damage the survival of domestic CPL enterprises.

Therefore, in order to maintain the overall situation of the nylon industry chain and maintain social stability, the industry expects to terminate the CPL anti-dumping as soon as possible, and apply to continue to reduce the provisional tariff rate of the current CPL imports to 5%.
