In the rising cost of RMB appreciation, labor and raw materials and other costs, China's export shoe enterprises Cost pressures are mounting. Shoe companies have just received the latest information, which began in 2005 by the EU on Chinese shoes. Anti-dumping After six years of lawsuits, the lawsuit is expected to end in March this year. Once the anti-dumping duty of up to 16.5% is cancelled, many exports will be eliminated. European Union China's leather shoes business is undoubtedly good news.

Wu Zhenchang, the chairman of the European Union's anti dumping alliance with Chinese footwear products and chairman of Guangzhou Chuangxin footwear industry, said yesterday that the EU footwear industry association has not yet filed an anti-dumping review petition to the European Commission, just from the European Union's attorney general's office. This means that after continuous efforts, Chinese footwear enterprises will automatically stop the EU anti-dumping measures after expiring in March this year.

"If we get rid of these 16.5% anti-dumping duties, it will help our enterprises to export to Europe. However, the pressure on global exports is still facing cost pressure. The pressure of RMB appreciation at least 3% this year should be unable to run, and labor costs and raw material prices are also rising." Wu Zhenchang said, "although orders are increasing, it is difficult to raise prices and profits will continue to slide."

At present, the Pearl River Delta shoe manufacturers export orders are good, many companies are rushing ahead of the Spring Festival to produce the shipment, generally not yet. Some factories are worried about the loss of employees after the year. A shoe factory manager in Dongguan told reporters that orders were numerous and a little busy. During the Spring Festival, only three days' vacation was allowed. Now the average monthly salary of workers is two thousand or three thousand yuan, up from 50% in the second half of 2010. After the Spring Festival, the wages of workers are likely to further improve. Now prices are rising. It is estimated that some foreign workers may not return after that. Only by increasing wages can foreign migrant workers be retained, but the profits of enterprises are getting thinner and thinner, with little money earned, and the fluctuation of RMB exchange rate and the pressure of enterprise cost increase.

Many Chinese leather shoes enterprises exporting to Europe expect to get rid of 16.5% of the anti-dumping duty in March this year, so as to reduce export pressure. However, there is no definite information about whether or not it is possible. Yesterday, the government confirmed to the relevant government officials of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce. The other side replied that it had not received the official document of the European Union ending the review of Chinese leather shoes for the time being.

In addition, there are external reports that with the anti-dumping measures of China leather shoes will expire, some veteran shoe makers such as Italy and Spain have begun active activities in the review of complaints. Recently, the Italy Footwear Manufacturers Association (ANCI) once again complained to the European Commission about unfair competition from Asian footwear manufacturers, asking the government to continue the existing anti-dumping duties to ease the imbalance in the market.
