A few days ago, we learned from the Fuzhou customs that the export shoes of Fujian province were US $890 million in the first 2 months of this year, up 1.2% from the same period (the same below).

It is understood that, influenced by the deepening of the international financial crisis, the protectionism of international trade is becoming more and more intense. As a labor-intensive footwear product, it has become the hardest hit area of trade friction.

Experts suggest that the relevant government departments should pay close attention to the dynamic trade protection of foreign footwear products to China, establish a smooth channel for information dissemination, help enterprises improve their foresight and market adaptability in business decision-making, and give play to the role of chambers of Commerce and industry associations in coordinating enterprises' external behavior and strengthening industry self-discipline, and guide enterprises to unite to cope with foreign trade protection measures, safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, guide enterprises to change traditional distribution methods, improve product technology level and environmental protection quality, actively explore suitable brand development paths, improve core competitiveness and added value of products, and reduce trade frictions from the source.
