European Union Customs Spearfish Ceramics

Recently, the European Commission submitted a relevant notice to the Chinese side that it will continue to impose a punitive tariff of 48.5% on Chinese bicycles. At this time, it was only 10 days from the implementation of the new “Safe and Stable” toy safety instructions. It is reported that since mid-September, the European Union will impose a five-year punitive tariff on tiles imported from China, with a maximum tax rate of 69.7%. In addition, the European Commission is also conducting anti-dumping investigations on glass fiber products imported from China.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, “Once the survey results are established, the EU will impose temporary tariffs on these products before the end of March 2012, and may impose a five-year formal tariff before the end of September.” The wave started again. The trade barriers frequently offered by the EU have forced some high-energy-consuming and highly polluting Chinese companies to crossroads to survive.

Export companies encounter barriers. "EU tariff increase has indeed affected our business. Many European customers demand that the prices of their products be reduced in order to cope with the increase in tariffs." A person from Guangdong Foshan, a building ceramics company, said: "The current European Customs gives us The tax rate is 32.3%, and the follow-up may increase. The tax rate of other tile exporters may be even higher, and the impact will be even greater."

The Chinese "BHC" brand rattle will face the tragic fate of being forced out of Poland and the EU market. "The bell is in the form of a ball. The European Commission proposed that since the rattle sound level is as high as 87.9 decibels, there is a hearing impairment in children. Danger of damage, at the same time, because the rattle is easily broken, the scattered small parts just fit in the cylinder of the test small part, once the child swallows, there is the danger of suffocation, so it is determined that the product does not comply with the EU's toys. The directive and the EU's relevant standards EN71." The relevant professionals told reporters.

It is understood that, at present, the Polish authorities have ordered the withdrawal of the product from the market. "This also indicates that such bells will also be forced to exit the entire EU member market." The analyst said. This will undoubtedly worsen the domestic export enterprises that produce such rattles.

After a few days, the European Commission’s non-food quick warning system issued a consumer warning to the Chinese “DHG” brand dolls. The notified doll set has 2 dolls with different clothes in each box, and they are put on the outer packaging. There is a "CE" logo and the style/model code is 2002.

The notified country was Spain. Because the 2-ethylhexyl phthalate in the toy exceeds the EU limit, there is a danger of chemical allergy or poisoning. The toy does not comply with the EU REACH directive. Spanish Customs has ordered the ban on the import of the toy.

Prior to this, the EU announced the simultaneous imposition of anti-dumping duties and countervailing duties on coated paper imported from China. This not only created a precedent for EU anti-subsidy against China, but also enabled the European Union to use dual trade remedies for the same product in China for the first time.

According to the EU press communique, the EU’s countervailing duty rate on Chinese coated paper is between 4% and 12%, and the anti-dumping tax rate is 8% to 35.1%. The two are superimposed and the total tax rate imposed on Chinese companies is 20%. 39%. Companies such as APP (China), Sun Paper (9.25, -0.16, -1.70%) and Chenming Paper (6.09, -0.11, -1.77%) were all caught up in the "double reverse" storm.

“Our company had originally cooperated with a German company and was ready to go online at the end of July this year, but the 'double counter' measures led to the cancellation of the project.” Sun Dawei, Director of the Export Department of Sun Paper Co., Ltd., told reporters.

Sun Dawei said, “In addition to Germany, our company’s business cooperation with other EU member states has also been gradually affected to varying degrees, which has caused our company’s export losses to the EU to cause some losses.”

According to data provided by Sun Dawei, the total annual export volume of coated paper from Sun Paper in 2010 was about 100,000 tons, while the coated paper exported to the EU accounted for about 1/10 of the total export volume. "The EU anti-tax double taxation has little effect on our company."

On the other hand, the Chinese coated paper that is involved in this case has an annual export volume of about 200,000 tons to Europe, and its share in the EU market does not exceed 5%, and it is impossible to cause harm to the EU industry.

Chinese companies need to turn crisis into opportunities. “The anti-dumping of European Union tiles in China is completely within our expectations. In fact, we have already prepared for it.” China Building (3.41, -0.04, -1.16%) Secretary General of Health Ceramics Association Indicated.

Yan Bin said that due to the economic recession in Europe, rising unemployment, and the decline in consumer purchasing power to buy relatively cheap Chinese ceramic tile products, “a number of factors eventually led to the Chinese ceramic tile sales in Europe did not fall, making the European tile industry worse. Under such circumstances, the Union of European Tile Manufacturers will inevitably bring anti-dumping measures against China in order to defend its own market."

Qi Bin said that the anti-dumping of EU tiles to China will not bring great impact to the Chinese ceramic industry, because China's tiles exported to Europe account for only about 8% of total output, and the proportion of total tile exports is not enough. 10%.

The EU’s initiative to export new sanctions to China “forever prosperous times” is also an opportunity for China’s “high energy consumption, high pollution, low efficiency, and low profit” enterprises to transform and upgrade.

"This EU move to fight China's cheap export commodities through high tariffs on Chinese products is a test of the quality of China's exports of cheap goods," said Ren Guohua, professor of the International Economics and Trade College at the University of International Business and Economics.

"According to our export plan, in the future we will increase our efforts to release coated paper to the Japanese market." Sun Dawei said.

Previously, South Korea, India and other countries have also filed anti-dumping cases against Chinese tiles, but since then Chinese ceramic tile exports to these countries have risen instead of falling.

“The reason why this happened was that in the anti-dumping case, some enterprises that competed for the market by relying on low-price and disorderly competition were eliminated, the market environment was healthier and orderly, and they provided good development for those companies that were regulated and good products. The environment, in the long run, is also conducive to the long-term development of the industry and is in the long-term interest of the country, said Yu Bin.

Nevertheless, in Ren Guohua’s view, although the development of Sino-EU trade will not be easy, China and the European Union, as economies with extensive influence in the world today, have enhanced their trade cooperation and resolve differences and frictions. The prospects for Sino-European trade development are worth looking forward to.

Yao Ling, an expert from the Institute of European Studies of the Ministry of Commerce, also stated that in recent years, although the EU’s trade sanctions against China have gradually increased, it will not cause serious deterioration of China’s trade environment.

"We now have to prepare for the gradual increase in trade protection, but overall, China and the EU's trade exchanges are still optimistic about the situation." Yao Ling said.

Despite this, China's export enterprises that replace quantity with quantity still face severe challenges. “The current status of China’s blind pursuit of export volume and the lack of access to more brands and technology premiums must be changed. The entrepreneur’s thinking must be adjusted. If Chinese export companies can try more in branding, technology, services, and domestic trade. With construction, the 'crisis' that may be caused by trade barriers, such as the drop in exports and the collapse of some companies, can become a 'turnaround' for companies to improve themselves." Yao Ling said.
