3 representatives of Brazil shoe making enterprises in Congress and representatives of the company said that since the anti-dumping duties imposed on Chinese footwear imports in September last year, the footwear industry in Brazil has increased 15 thousand jobs and has reduced nearly 30 million pairs from China's footwear imports. At present, the footwear industry in Brazil has submitted an application to the relevant government departments and asked to continue to levy an anti-dumping duty of $12.47 per pair on China's footwear imports.

In September 2009, the Brazil government decided to carry out anti-dumping investigations on the import of Chinese footwear, and imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty of US $12.47 per pair for a period of 6 months. If it is investigated, the dumping behavior of China's footwear imports will not be established. The additional tax measures will end in March 8th this year.
