Shoe Enterprises Avoid Trade Friction Through Four Major Changes

< p > the Sino EU bilateral trade friction that occurred between 2005 and 2006 is believed to be still fresh in many enterprises such as a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" and shoes < /a >.

Finally, the EU passed anti-dumping duties on Chinese footwear products in 2006, and refused to give market economy status to the enterprises involved.

< /p >

< p > however, China's export of EU leather shoes enterprises' "acute pain" is expected to be eased.

Last week, the European Commission issued a notice that the EU Court partially abolished the EU's decision on anti-dumping against leather shoes in 2006.

There are four enterprises that have been abolished, and two are shoe making enterprises in Guangzhou and Zhongshan.

It is worth noting that in accordance with the requirements of the European Court of justice, the EU also resumed the re examination of the market economy status concerned by exporters.

< /p >

< p > according to the information of China trade remedy information network, the EU requires the interested parties in the original investigation to indicate whether they want to get the contents abolished by the EU court within 15 days from the date of the announcement.

At the same time, the Chinese leather shoes exporting enterprises involved should provide relevant information to the European Commission, including the types of stakeholders in the case, such as domestic manufacturers, associated importers, exporters, etc., confirm that they are interested in the stakeholders who carry out the current court judgement, the names, addresses and e-mail addresses of the interested parties; and there are documents proving that the parties concerned are interested parties in the original case.

< /p >

< p > according to the rules of international trade, if an enterprise can not have the market economy status, it will be subjected to unfair treatment in the whole anti-dumping procedure.

In fact, although China's shoe making enterprises are in line with market economy status < < a href= > //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_q.asp > > /a >, they can not get the corresponding qualification. Sales in the EU are often easy to constitute dumping, so they are subject to punitive tariffs.

< /p >

< p > in the anti-dumping regulations of the European Union, enterprises have 5 conditions that will gain market economy status. Specifically, "decision making is not obviously interfered by the state", "there is a set of accounting books established according to international standards", "production costs, financial conditions are not significantly affected by the non market economy system", "enterprises are not established or closed by government intervention" and "currency exchange rate changes are determined by the market".

In this anti-dumping case, more than 130 responding enterprises were deprived of the treatment of market economy.

< /p >

< p > reviewing the EU anti-dumping case on leather shoes in China for 2005-2006 years, which originated from the application of the European footwear consortium to investigate anti-dumping cases of leather shoes and boots originating in China and Vietnam.

According to the reasons for the application, the import volume and share of leather shoes and shoes in China and Vietnam have increased significantly, and the import price is lower than the normal value.

< /p >

< p > a lot of analysis points invariably point out that the reason why leather shoes enterprises have repeatedly become the object of the EU shoe manufacturing industry's criticism is that the product grades of leather shoes manufacturers are not high, and the export prices are low. Some enterprises even set a very low export price in order to compete for market share, and at the same time fight the "price war".

< /p >

< p > for this reason, a Dongguan foreign trade professional analysis pointed out that < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > shoe-making enterprise < /a > one is to change the export mode, not to simply make OEM exports; the two is to change the sales way of low price bidding, not to grab the market but quality by price; the three is to pform the product structure, increase R & D investment and enhance the added value of products; four, attach importance to brand building and cultivate enterprise brand to seize the cake of overseas market.
