Chinese Leather Shoes Have Been Subjected To Anti-Dumping Sanctions For Nearly Five Years

The latest statistics released by the Ministry of Commerce and trade fair trade released yesterday showed that as of the end of 3 this year, 152 cases of trade remedy measures launched by the European Union to China were among them, and the EU has already ruled that the trade remedy measures implemented by China have reached 56.

Statistics show that in the cases of trade remedy measures initiated by the European Union to China, the overwhelming majority of anti-dumping cases accounted for 149, and there were 2 safeguard measures and 1 special safeguard measures.

Experts from Beijing WTO affairs center said that from the statistical results, at present, the 56 export products of our country are also suffering from EU trade remedy measures, which is relatively high globally. Some of these products have gone through several anti-dumping or other trade remedy measures, but after the expiration of the relief measures, the European Union has launched the "sunset review" protection measures again, making the implementation period of trade remedy measures extended again and again.

China's leather shoes have been subjected to anti-dumping sanctions for nearly five years in a variety of EU anti-dumping exports to China. In July 2005, the EU began filing anti-dumping cases against Chinese leather shoes, and began to impose 16.5% anti-dumping duty on Chinese leather shoes in October 2006. In October 2008, after the EU imposed anti-dumping measures on Chinese leather shoes for two years, the European Commission objected to the review of anti-dumping duties by ignoring the objection of Member States. At the end of 2009, it decided to continue to impose anti-dumping duties on leather shoes in China and Vietnam for 15 months.
