The road for exports of Chinese leather shoes to EU is not smooth. EU's imposition of 16.5 percent anti-dumping tax on Chinese leather shoes will expire by October of next year, however, many Chinese enterprises worry that there is a chance of further extension.
This 16.5 percent anti-dumping tax has adverse effect on the export of Chinese leather shoes to EU. About 70 percent orders have shifted to other countries.
Currently, EU is investigating illegal entry of Chinese leather shoes via Macao. Experts believe that if the investigation results are negative it could possibly affect in the cancellation of the 16.5 percent anti-dumping tax, next year.
Statistics reveal that in last one year, exports of leather shoes to EU from Macao increased considerably. Experts suggest that China could evade these anti-dumping taxes by changing the tags to 'Made in Macao' instead of 'Made China'.
