The Export Of Chinese Shoe Products Is Troubled Again.

The Russian footwear industry has asked for an increase in import tariffs. The Canadian Footwear Association has asked for an anti-dumping investigation.

In the face of the large influx of Chinese shoe products, the footwear industry of Russia and Canada is planning to use non technical barriers to stop the entry of Chinese shoes.

According to reports, the Russian leather and footwear alliance recently asked the Russian Prime Minister Putin to open an open letter, asking the government to increase import tariffs on all kinds of finished shoes from 10% to 25%.

According to Alexander, chairman of the Russian leather and footwear industry alliance, the finished products in the Russian market are mainly from China, whose import prices are generally 10-14 US dollars / pairs, and the retail price of the market is usually 50-400 US dollars.

At present, 10% of import tariffs will completely eliminate the business risks of importers.

At present, the market size of finished shoes is 10 billion -120 billion dollars. Since 2005, the market share of Russian domestic shoes has dropped from 19% to about 10%, and the measures to increase tariffs will increase the output and sales volume of domestic finished shoes.

In addition, the Canadian Shoe Association in Montreal lodged a complaint with the Canadian Border Service Bureau under the special import act of Canada, asking the Border Services Bureau to re investigate the price of waterproof rubber shoes and rubber sole shoes from China and Vietnam.

George Hannah, a Canadian Footwear Association, said building a fair market is very important for the development of Canadian footwear industry.

China and Vietnam sell 25 million dollars of rubber shoes every year in Canada.

The Canadian Shoe Association has raised anti-dumping duties against rubber shoes from China, Vietnam and Macao in the past.

He said that the association appealed to the Canadian Border Services Agency on behalf of the interests of enterprises.

The border services agency is responsible for the special import measures law related work management institutions to protect Canadian industries from dumping impact on foreign imports.
