EU Anti-Dumping Wenzhou Shoe Enterprises

The EU is an important market for Chinese footwear, but China
鞋企自上世紀(jì)90年代開始就一直遭受歐盟的惡意打壓，從數(shù)量限制到反傾銷稅的征收，都嚴(yán)重影響了中國鞋對歐盟的出口。中國企業(yè)在利用法律武器進(jìn)行維權(quán)的同時(shí)，也在積極開拓新思路來避開貿(mào)易壁壘的影響。

Switch to non use

Genuine leather

In response to EU's response to China

leather shoes

There are more than 90% of anti-dumping cases.

Wenzhou shoes

Enterprises have begun to adopt

PU synthetic leather

And other non leather raw materials to make shoes as much as possible to reduce the losses caused by anti-dumping.

According to the boss of many shoe enterprises in Wenzhou, because the EU has imposed anti-dumping duties on genuine leather shoes from China, the use of non leather materials has avoided the risk of anti-dumping.

At present, many companies, including AOKANG, Jin Di and giant one, have already begun to use non leather materials such as cloth and PU synthetic leather, so as to avoid EU's 16.5% anti-dumping duty on Chinese leather shoes.

It is understood that the men's shoes made from high grade PU synthetic leather are more popular in the European market, and the PU women's shoes are also very much sold in the European market.

AOKANG

Wang Hailong, the footwear industry propaganda department, said AOKANG also had some cloth shoes exported to the European Union. Since the EU imposed anti-dumping duties on Chinese leather shoes, their companies focused on the production of shoes that are not included in anti-dumping duties, such as Italy's orders, which are basically cloth shoes.

Opening up emerging markets in ASEAN

Since China ASEAN Free Trade Area has imposed zero tariffs, more Chinese shoe companies have begun to seek new market opportunities in Southeast Asian countries.

However, due to various factors such as the habit of wearing shoes, the current export to Southeast Asian countries is very limited.

War in Russia

The export of products to Russia is very impressive, but Russia's trade policy is quite variable.

For example, Russia has imposed a "no entry" tariff on goods such as shoes and garments for "uncompetitive commodities", which has caused some impact on Chinese shoe enterprises. Many Chinese shoe companies have withdrawn their offices.

because

European Union

Frustrated by the market, the Chinese shoe industry, represented by Wenzhou shoe enterprises, is trying to establish a foothold in the Russian market by setting up a trading company in Russia.

In this regard, the industry said that in many ways of marketing, the most crucial and necessary way for Chinese shoe enterprises to go now is to set up trading companies in Russia, hire Russian marketers to open up markets, hire accountants and tax companies familiar with tax and taxation in Russia, and set up a special exhibition hall to take a formal road of operation.

In terms of sales methods, some analysts believe that conditional manufacturers should take part in exhibitions in Russia, take the initiative to acquire special counters in larger scale stores in Russia and pform sales channels to large supermarkets in Russia so as to enhance the brand influence of Chinese shoes.

Technological innovation to enhance the added value

It is a way for Chinese shoe enterprises to fundamentally solve the anti-dumping problem by improving the core competitiveness of the industry through technological innovation, promoting the cultivation and construction of domestic brands, opening up a diversified international market, optimizing the export product mix and industrial layout, and upgrading the level of industrial clusters.

At present, AOKANG is developing some functional leather shoes, such as shock absorbing shoes, golf shoes, etc., and the next step will also develop low carbon leather shoes made of environmentally-friendly materials.

It is reported that the price of functional leather shoes is higher than 40%-50% of ordinary leather shoes, and the probability of anti-dumping will be smaller after the added value of products.

At the same time, in order to adapt to the impact of anti-dumping, AOKANG will shift to the central region in the future, so as to have more room for reducing manufacturing costs.
